Determined to spread his message across the world through his music, Croydon, UK-based artist Mick J. Clark has given fans all they could possibly ask for as he navigates his prolific musical career. His work informed by the lens through which they observe the human condition, his lyrics reflect his most intimate beliefs, told without hesitation or censorship. His latest single, I Want It More Than You, proves a robust standout in his repertoire for exactly these reasons, as it details the artist’s pursuit of excellence and success, framed through their passion for the sport of football.
A strong and upbeat percussive introduction plays to begin the piece, and immediately we feel the energy this track is meant to inspire as the world of this music builds around us in real time. As Clark’s vocals enter shortly after, the tone takes on a more centered and humble demeanor, as he wastes no time getting to the core of narrative with the opening line “I was raised in rags of poor hungry child, you quickly love the rules to stay alive. You made me more of a man, this life I now understand.” Chronicling his relationship with a champion’s mindset with every verse, we feel the story build in intensity throughout the record.
A motivational anthem inspired by the artist’s love of competition and ambition, the single gives fans an introspective look at not only the artist’s views on their home team, but the values and determination that have led to their success in every other avenue of their life.
