Mick J Clark-This Is Where My Heart Belongs
Mick J Clark is the complete, consummate musician. Like another chamber to his heart, music lives in him, and for his existence. With close to 3 decades of experience and releasing songs, albums and singles-he changes the palette with something new every time. This time he takes us back to 2010, when he released this particular single. This one is called This Is Where My Heart Belongs. My grandmother used to reminisce about the years when she was a young lady, buying single records of musicians she was awestruck by. In her collection, I remember finding Paul Anka. I remember this because that is the kind of sound Mick J Clark channels for this song. With a surf salt, relaxed atmosphere, he takes us for a walk along the shore. This single tends to affect you like a romantic scene in a movie would. You look beyond the trope and wish for a dream like this that would be a reality. Gentle transitions, soothing chord progressions are almost like the tender tides washing the soles of your feet. The warmth of the sun as it lowers like embers into the horizon. Mick creates fantastic imagery with honest songwriting and a bleeding heart of gold. This would be perfect for Sleepless in Seattle as well as Mamma Mia! Not only does it have a warm flow of relevant, organic transition, but it also highlights how well Mick Clark writes songs, lyrically and melodically. You can listen to any of his countless songs on Spotify, including everyone’s very favourite, Anuther Sunny Hulliday. Make sure you check out his catalogue!

Mick J Clark - My Friend Evonne
From his latest album, Pole Position, Mick J Clark brings nostalgia through the track My Friend Evonne. A 90s style of peppy singing is combined with fun instrumentation. It is an interesting fusion of genres—a pop song with some rock and some country influences, but neither fighting for attention. The first beat that starts the song is very tropical, so when the very pop-style guitar came in, I was surprised. That was not what I expected, but it was definitely intriguing. The bass adds the rock and roll element to an otherwise fun, theme song-style instrumentation and singing. The singing is very rhythmic and energetic, very reminiscent of your dad's favourite songs of old. The song in itself feels like a grainy yellow filter. It would fit in perfectly in a show like Friends or any late 90s to early 2000s slice-of-life show. The lyrics of the song express his love for a woman called Evonne. Clark talks about her so fondly, calling her the "friend" he "can never replace." He tells us of the beauty in her contradictions—how she is a princess sometimes and sometimes the devil, how she can be a pacifist and a rebel. He sings about how this is a love that will last forever and ever. This song is Clark's effort to immortalise his lover. My Friend Evonne by Mick J Clark is about a love that is pure and everlasting. It is a classic love song about a woman he wants to remember forever, their love and her beauty immortalised through music.
