MICA PARIS Born Again (2010 reissue UK Bonus Edition 15-track CD album - A star is 'Born Again', with the triumphant return of Mica Paris and her first original studio album in ten years. The collection of songs perfectly showcases the vocals of the UK's Soul Queen, vocals that have been admired and beloved by music legends such as Prince, Peter Gabriel, Dave Gilmour, Chaka Khan, Quincy Jones, and Natalie Cole. Blending classic Motown grooves with a distinctly modern production and emotive lyrics – Mica is singing from the bottom of her heart. This is no more evident than on the albums title track. 'Born Again' an epic ballad, sweeping strings and cut glass arrangement with a vocal that leaves you tingling. Ballads like the Eric Benet penned tune 'You're the Only One' emit an effortless and creamy smooth R&B flavour, as on the Keisha Cole U.S. number one, 'I Remember', which Mica gives a heartfelt maturity to. Mica reminds us how she can shine on the dance floor and show us what it's all about on up-tempo scorchers 'The Hardest Thing' with its middle-eight vocal that never ends, and 'Breathless' a track that Rhianna gave to Mica personally. The album includes the James Morrison-written single 'Baby Come Back Now', a live rendition of the Gershwin classic 'Summertime', and her signature song that has endured – 'My One Temptation' – sung in acoustic splendour. This 2010 edition comes expanded with 3 Bonus Recordings including 'Take It Back' [with an additional Moto Blanco remix] and a Stonebridge mix of 'The Hardest Thing')
