There’s a warmth and sincerity to Mick J Clark’s “My Friend Evonne” that you don’t hear every day. Lifted from his new album Pole Position, it’s a classic-leaning ballad that leans into soul, R&B and a bit of country shimmer.

most importantly, it’s got heart. and a fair pinch of the comforting, old-school vibe of a track on an old family record.

It won’t be for everyone, but if you like your pop sincere and unashamedly positive, Mick’s your guy.
