Releasing her album 'Heaven Knows' to critical acclaim in June 2022, Mica Millar will perform her London album launch at the iconic Jazz Cafe with her 8-piece band.
Since the release of her album Mica has been capturing the hearts and minds of fans and critics alike - featured on the cover of Blues & Soul Magazine in July alongside a 10/10 album review and 5* reviews from the likes of Echoes Magazine, Soul & Jazz, Voice Magazine and Soul & Jazz & Funk with radio support from BBC Radio 2’s Trevor Nelson, BBC 6 Music’s Craig Charles and 'single of the week' on Jazz FM.
Self-written and produced, 'Heaven Knows' is a timeless collection of modern soul songs showcasing a confident new artist who’s not only found her own voice but one that has put all of life's challenges and triumphs into her art. Exploring themes of human nature, spirituality, love, oppression, inequality and empowerment and drawing inspiration from a plethora of vintage soundscapes, most notably soul, blues, gospel and jazz, 'Heaven Knows' pay respectful nods to girl groups of the 60's and 70's and classic Motown with a polished production that give these songs a timeless quality that is both reassuringly familiar yet distinctively Mica Millar.
