Mikki Zip's latest single, "Somethin' to Write About," is nothing short of a triumph, signaling her unstoppable rise in the country music scene. This track, now available on all streaming platforms, is a masterful blend of southern rock’s gritty edge and the soulful depth of modern country, creating a sound that is both fresh and deeply resonant.
Recorded at Spellbound Recorders in Lebanon, TN, and produced by Chris Justice, "Somethin' to Write About" stands out as more than just a song—it’s an experience. Co-written with Court Taylor and Michael Saleta, the single captures the emotional intensity of love’s uncertain moments, wrapped in a driving beat and vivid, heartfelt lyrics that compel you to listen again and again. It’s the kind of song that speaks to anyone who has ever questioned whether they’re on the brink of something real or merely caught in a fleeting moment.
Mikki’s powerful vocals, paired with the track's dynamic instrumentation, make "Somethin' to Write About" an unforgettable anthem for anyone who’s felt the thrill and vulnerability of falling in love. As Mikki herself shares, “Writing this song, I was caught in that intense moment of wondering if this was just another fleeting romance or the real thing. We took that raw emotion and layered it with the gritty sounds of southern rock and the modern edge of today’s country. I want listeners to feel that thrill, that uncertainty, and the hope that comes with falling in love.”
Mikki's unique sound can be likened to the storytelling prowess of Kacey Musgraves, the gritty edge of Joan Jett, and the genre-blending creativity of Halsey. Like Musgraves, Mikki infuses her lyrics with vivid imagery and emotional depth, capturing the nuances of life and love in a way that resonates deeply with her listeners. Her rock influence is clear in the raw, rebellious energy she brings to her music, much like Joan Jett, whose powerful presence and fearless attitude have made her a rock icon. And, similar to Halsey, Mikki isn’t afraid to blur genre lines, incorporating modern pop and alternative elements into her country-rock foundation, creating a sound that is distinctly her own. This combination of influences makes Mikki Zip a dynamic and exciting artist to watch.
