Mick J Clark has been writing songs since his teens, and that kind of experience does not go unnoticed. “Pole Position” is an album that arrives with a quiet confidence behind it, the sort of record that does not need to shout to get your attention.
The songwriting here is honest and well-crafted. Mick has a natural ability to write songs that sit well in the MOR and country space, and radio stations across the UK, Australia, and parts of Europe have already picked up on that. When songs start getting airplay before an album even officially drops, that tells you something real about the quality of the material. And the one that grabbed my attention is “My Friend Evonne”.
One thing worth highlighting is the range Mick brings to his work. He has a song placed in the upcoming film “Earworm”, and his children’s track “Me My Body And I” was adopted by schools across Croydon. Not many artists can say their music works equally well on screen and in a primary school classroom. That kind of versatility is genuinely rare.
With a band tour and a TV special both on the horizon, “Pole Position” feels like the starting point of a much bigger chapter for Mick. If you have not heard him yet, now is a good time to fix that. Give the album a proper listen, then go and find him on his socials because this is an artist worth keeping tabs on as things continue to build from here.
