I really like this catchy song! Well done!

“Midnight Blue," off the forthcoming EP, was co-written by Bonner Black and producer/writer, Izaac Burkhart. It describes the imaginary movie scene where your crush approaches you from across the party and what waking up from that dream feels like.

Lyrics:

In this life
Things are changing
Changing all the time
All the time 
And you may find
That you’ve been waiting 
Waiting to arrive
To arrive

I’m gonna hold on forever, my darlin
Dancing in the moonlight with you
And when the morning comes 
Life goes on and on and on
At least I know
I can rest my head 
When the day is through
Next to you

And when I’m walking 
Through the forest 
The truth dawns on me
It dawns on me 
I waste my time
Always worrying
What the future will bring
The future will bring

Have I got nothing better to do?
It’s funny how your mind plays tricks on you

I’m gonna hold on forever, my darlin
Dancing in the moonlight with you
And when the morning comes 
Life goes on and on and on
At least I know
I can rest my head 
When the day is through
Next to you

  I’m dancing with you
In the light of the moon
I’m dancing with you
In the light of the moon 
In the light of the moon

“The simplest of things can be most effective. Michael’s music is sparse, skeletal yet often deeply moving”

“Gorgeous, singer-songwriter would give Ben Howard a run for his money” Tom Robinson 
“Michael was phenomenal, really blew us away“ Adam Maestro Head of Booking Sofar Sounds 

Michael released his magnificent debut long player Dust & Bone in 2016 (Michael lived in his van for two and a half years whilst recording the album) working with Producer Dan Brown. It features the critically acclaimed ‘Steady And The Stuck (premiered by The Independent) and Revolving Doors co-written with Ben Christophers (Guy Garvey Bat for Lashes) he followed this debut with his stunning sophomore album ‘Salt ‘in 2020 which Atwood praised as “an achingly honest & heartfelt reckoning full of striking vulnerability & intensely intimate, beautiful songwriting.” Michael released his 3rd studio Album ‘How Come You Sleep’, in 2021 recorded with Lucy Rose band member Andrew Stuart-Buttle & mixed by Oliver Baldwin (Aldous Harding, First Aid Kit). ‘‘How Come You Sleep resonates with soaring melodies & glistening string arrangements that add depth & colour. It weaves stirring wonders, a cathartic release of tension & visceral self-reflection.’’ Atwood Magazine 

After recently releasing a self-produced covers EP, Michael is now gearing up to release his 4th studio Album, produced & recorded with Luke Potashnick (Gabrielle Aplin, Alberta Cross, Tom The Lion) at the renowned Wool Hall Studios (Van Morrison, Tears For Fears). 

Live 
Michael’s newly formed Live trio set- up features Michael on guitar, keys and harmonica, Alfie Weedon on double bass  & Bv’s and Andrew Stuart-Buttle on violin, mandolin, synths, drum machines & BV’s. The trio frequently lean into the possibilities of their set up with songs featuring shimmering electronic chords and drones, and occasional bursts of controlled feedback or skittering drum patterns.

Michael says of the track.
"Often when confronted with something beautiful, a happy moment, I’m overwhelmed with how ephemeral everything is, thus finding sadness. It’s a vicious cycle. I have this tendency to be able to find the blues in most things (I think the medical term is singer-songwriter). 
I originally wrote In The Light imagining that feeling of being ready to die. It came from a memory of Dad turning to me, around the time of his retirement, and saying 'If I died now I would die a happy man.' Imagining that feeling of being fulfilled to the top, actually turned into the realisation of the song.
This song is the spring in your step as you walk down the road, sun on your face, feeling complete. It’s a list of all the beautiful things achieved, and a tip of the hat to the idea that I came, saw and got the t-shirt." 

Producer Luke Potashnick says of the track: 
Arh man - a real cruiser - again built on a live performance at the Wool Hall - regimented drums and bass, with some floaty overdubs trying to match the dreaminess of the lyric - this one takes you somewhere warm and light for a few!
