It’s been a while since we featured Mick J. Clark. In fact, it’s been a few years. We are happy to report that the London-based troubadour has never really stopped writing songs. In fact, he’s been writing a whole load more, once again showcasing his highly fruitful lyrical allure. ‘Me My Body and I’ is the perfect example of that, an EP that has been released very recently, dedicated to the upcoming football World Cup. In it, we find four nostalgic and melodic episodes, including the record’s lead single, ‘I Want It More Than You’. As always, Clark’s music is highly evocative and relatable, and especially wholesome.
Inspired by his own passion for football, and drawing further inspiration from his youth spent playing the sport, Mick uncovers a series of imagery and hooks that will make sense to any football fans out there, all drenched into a timeless character that’s bound to appeal to a wide audience. ‘Me My Body and I’ was produced by Martin Smith, from the 70s band ELO, at Garage Studios.
Delving deeper into the influences behind ‘I Want It More Than You’, Clark playfully explains: “I’m sorry to be boring, but nobody influenced me, the song somehow came to me, and I spent weeks writing and finishing it. I never go looking for songs, but maybe, as I love playing football, it came to me. I am someone who never gives up.” Understandable: we appreciate how wholesome and natural Clark’s artistry is. He’s still pushing forward.
