“To the child being bullied, the right songs can give a voice, build confidence, and help them think positive.”
Mick J. Clark’s new EP, “I Want It More Than You”, is a deeply personal and uplifting collection that shows his dedication to both music and social impact. Recorded at Martin Smith’s Music Studio, Garage Studios, Mick collaborated directly with the legendary musician from the 70s band ELO, resulting in songs that feel authentic, dynamic, and hands-on. Each track carries a unique energy—from the title track, which champions resilience and self-worth, to fun, danceable tunes like Congas and a playful birthday song that reminds listeners to celebrate life.
Clark’s songwriting is rooted in honesty and experience. A lifelong football fan, he draws inspiration from moments of triumph, personal history, and a desire to empower others. The EP’s standout track, I Want It More Than You, addresses bullying, self-harm, and serious issues like FGM, offering a supportive and empathetic voice to young listeners. The Croydon Education Department has even incorporated his earlier work, Me My Body And I, into local schools, highlighting the real-world impact of his music.
What makes this release special is its range. Mick’s work flows naturally from heartfelt messages to upbeat, joyous celebrations, all while staying deeply human and relatable. His approach to recording—playing alongside Martin Smith and shaping the songs organically—adds a warmth and immediacy rarely found in studio productions. Mick J. Clark continues to innovate, planning future duets and new projects while keeping his mission clear: to create music that matters and empowers.
