“My Friend Evonne,” the newest single by singer-songwriter Mick J. Clark, pulled from his sixth album, ‘Pole Position,’ is a heartfelt tribute to friendship. It captures the unique, one-in-a-million kind of connection, the rare blend that embodies aspects of a soulmate, best friend, confidante, and lifelong partner, a relationship most of us only dream about.

The song radiates with overly sentimental warmth, layered in nostalgic charm and lyrical sincerity. From the first note, the gentle groove feels like slipping into a treasured memory. Clark’s deep and golden voice carries a kind of lived-in wisdom; it doesn’t just sing about love; it truly understands it.

Evonne, as depicted in the song, isn’t just the object of affection; she’s a magnetic muse, a vivid memory, and a mythical figure wrapped in genuine emotion, the spark that illuminates the entire song. Described as a princess and a devil, she takes on a cinematic quality in Clark’s world, one who’s impossible to replace, forget and even harder not to love. The beauty of the song lies in its simplicity: devoid of flashy production tricks or over-the-top dramatics, it emphasizes pure emotion, elite songwriting, and a melody that lingers like scent on a favorite shirt.

This authenticity is what keeps Mick J. Clark’s fanbase steadily growing. He writes from the heart, sings from the soul, and invites audiences into his narrative. “My Friend Evonne” isn’t just a song; it’s a sonic love letter with quite a triumphant chorus. And trust me, once you hear it, you’ll feel like you truly know Evonne.

If you’ve ever had a sweet crush that made your heart feel like it was on a trampoline, “PG-13” will resonate with you most awesomely. Starchild, the queer dance punk musician and poet from Williamsburg, VA, swaps out distortion and misery for something softer, sunnier, and just as emotionally potent on this indie pop reggae gem.

“PG-13” is a cacophony of butterflies-in-the-stomach innocence seen through a rainbow-tinted lens. With lax reggae grooves underneath airy pop melodies, the tune emits a nostalgic warmth. It is the musical equivalent of doodling hearts in the margins of your notebook when you should be working on your homework, daydreaming about somebody who makes you feel like everything out of your imagination becomes suddenly electrified.

“PG-13” dances into your ears with an irresistible, frolicsome charm that epitomizes the essence of summer break in song. Starchild’s self-assured lyrical exposure is a breath of fresh air. Inspired by the cutest girl Starchild has ever seen, it cut the preamble from an unbridled rush of giddy, unfiltered emotion. The voice is earnest, a little breathless, and completely real, bringing a tender specificity that strikes home, especially for queer listeners who very rarely hear their first crushes celebrated in such an open and joyful manner.

It’s a taut song, and the reggae undertow gives it an easy lilt and confidence that grounds things just the right way. It’s that mandate of lightness and depth, a musical tightrope that Starchild easily walks. “PG-13” doubles down on the awkwardness, the shine, and the exposure of first feelings, and in so doing, it lodges itself directly in your heart. It’s both an homage and an innovation, a celebration of queer joy, innocence or ignorance, and the power of seeing someone and feeling like you’re feeling everything at once. And in a world that often rushes right past the R-rated material, “PG-13” reminds us that the true magic is sometimes in the blush rather than the smooch. And Starchild nails that magic.
