Kicking Back Podcast

Already fiercely championed by a slew of highly esteemed collaborators and tastemakers across the UK and US, independent, Soul newcomer Mica Millar’s debut album – “Heaven Knows” was released in June 2022 to critical review.  'Heaven Knows' is self-written, arranged and produced with inspiration drawn from a plethora of vintage soundscapes, notably, soul, blues, gospel and jazz. Respectful nods are paid to girl groups of the 60's and 70's and classic Motown, giving her songs a timeless quality that is both reassuringly familiar yet distinctively hers.  

Those fortunate enough to have witnessed Mica on stage will have a clear idea of who she is: a bold, authentic talent with an ageless tone to her voice and an artist with an authentic ability to capture hearts and minds with her powerful performances delivered with passion, grit and class in abundance.

Chloe Lawrence is a Manchester based, Essex born and Spanish bred singer-songwriter and street musician.   From her bohemian roots in the mountains of Spain, Chloe has been forged in the folk revelations of the 60’s. Her natural wanderlust led her to revelously dance barefoot with her audience at beach parties and juxtaposed this with contemplative intimate sets, where the ethos of her style showcased the classical elements of folk music whilst syngergising it with her own fierce independent modernity.  

Chloe began playing on the street regularly in Cardiff, where you could hit Queen Street and be charmed by the vulnerable optimism of her honest story-telling matched by the poetically dynamic intricacies of her voice. Chloe released her independently produced EP 'Cafe' in May 2020, which is available on Spotify, etc and plans to release new music in autumn of this year.
