Mick J. Clark – It’s Getting Near Christmas: Capturing the Excitement of the Festive Season

Mick J. Clark brings festive cheer with “It’s Getting Near Christmas,” a seasonal release that celebrates the excitement, anticipation and emotions surrounding the approach of Christmas Day. As the title suggests, the song focuses on that familiar period when preparations begin, expectations rise and the festive atmosphere gradually takes over. Clark also acknowledges that Christmas is not just about excitement and celebration, but comes with its fair share of stress and romance. This combination gives the song an appealing everyday connection, reflecting the different feelings people experience during the holiday season. With his background as a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, drums and keyboards, Clark continues to demonstrate his enthusiasm for creating accessible music that connects with listeners.

The release adds to an already extensive musical catalogue from an artist with considerable experience in the industry. With more than one million Spotify streams, six appearances in the iTunes Singles Chart and an album chart entry, Clark has built an impressive independent profile. His song “We Know It’s True” reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 2 in the USA iTunes Top 100 Rock Songs, while his album “Causes” progressed to the 64th Grammy nominations. His versatility is also reflected in a catalogue spanning pop, rock, ballads, R&B, dance, Latin and country. His previous Christmas EP, “Mick’s Christmas Mix,” has accumulated more than 300,000 streams across its three festive tracks, demonstrating an existing connection with seasonal music.

What makes Clark’s musical journey particularly interesting is his willingness to explore subjects beyond entertainment. His empowering song “Me My Body And I” addresses bullying and self-harm among children, while “You Don’t Look Cool,” performed by teenagers from the BRIT School, delivers an anti-smoking and anti-drugs message. Both projects were introduced into schools in Croydon through the local education department. With “It’s Getting Near Christmas,” Clark turns his attention back to seasonal enjoyment, offering listeners another opportunity to embrace the anticipation and spirit of the holidays. It is a welcome addition to his Christmas collection and a fitting celebration of the excitement that builds as Christmas Day approaches.
