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.

Kate Neckel rides on emotions in new single “Wave Break”

Honk Magazine

Kate Neckel’s “Wave Break” bursts in with an invigorating splash of raw honesty. The song was recorded in a single spontaneous take from her NYC home and is a living, breathing moment. Once again, it is evident that Neckel’s boundary-shattering artistry also crosses disciplines.

“Wave Break” vibrates with unfiltered energy that can’t be faked. Just as she casts her visual art instinctively and quickly, her songwriting process is impulsive and in the moment. The effect is a track that feels more like a brushstroke on the canvas of your life than a studio-cut single. The imperfections are fingerprints and evidence of a real human being behind each note and breath.

What sets “Wave Break” apart is how closely it gets to a sense of place and presence. You can hear the hum of city life, apartment acoustics, and the urgency of inspiration coursing in real-time. It’s also intimate, gritty, and fiercely alive. Neckel’s voice glides along the track like the tide, flowing with feeling and then receding into reserve, and at no point does it lose its truthfulness.

As performer and producer, Neckel stamps every layer of the track with her artistic DNA. Even the single’s artwork, done by her hand, contributes to this immersive effect. “Wave Break” invites you to feel, see, and exist inside a moment of pure creative expression. “Wave Break” is a testament to her evolution from a visual artist to a storyteller and the power of the unfiltered when it comes to the art that matters most.
