Croydon-based artist Mick J. Clark channels grit, determination, and a love for the game into his EP I Want It More Than You, a project that feels as personal as it does motivational. Entirely written and shaped by Clark himself, the record carries a DIY spirit, backed by a hands-on collaboration in the studio that keeps things grounded and authentic. Drawing inspiration from his passion for football, the EP is about drive, resilience, and that fire-in-your-chest feeling of refusing to give up.
The title track, โI Want It More Than You,โ sets the tone with a punchy, catchy rhythm that immediately pulls you in. Shaky percussion adds a restless edge, while melodic guitar lines weave through the beat, giving the track a sense of forward motion, like a race youโre determined to win. Clarkโs high, assertive voice cuts through with confidence, delivering each line like a personal mantra. When he sings, โEither you live or you die by the sword / If I go down I get up, I donโt know when I have had enough,โ it lands with a stubborn kind of optimism. Itโs persistence, plain and simple.
As the song unfolds, you can feel an undercurrent of encouragement. You can hear it in the way the melody lifts, in how the rhythm keeps pushing forward without hesitation. The track speaks directly to anyone whoโs been knocked down and is figuring out how to stand back up again. Thereโs also a subtle nod to younger listeners here, especially those navigating challenges like bullyingโthe message is clear: keep going, no matter what.
By the end, โI Want It More Than Youโ lingers as a mindset. Clark is chasing purpose, and that makes the whole thing hit a little harder.
