Mica Paris comes to Rhyl Pavilion on September 20

Sep 17 2009 by Michael Green, Chester Chronicle

BRITISH soul queen Mica Paris is releasing her first original studio album in 10 years as she embarks on a tour that brings her to the Rhyl Pavilion on Sunday, September 20.

Mica’s new album, entitled Born Again, has been produced by hitmaker Brian Rawling, whose recent single Broken Strings for James Morrison and Nelly Furtado was number one worldwide. Morrison himself wrote Mica’s first single off the album, Baby Come Back Now.

Mica Paris's roots are in soul and gospel music. At 17, she got her first break as a backing vocalist with the UK chart band Hollywood Beyond.

In 1988, she released her debut, platinum-selling album, So Good, from which she had her first top ten hit with You Are My One Temptation.

This led to a collaboration with American soul singer Will Downing on a cover version of Where Is The Love, a song made famous by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack in the early ’70s.

Tickets for Sunday’s Rhyl show cost £15.50, concessions £1.50 off. Call the box office on 01745 33 00 00 or book online at www.rhylpavilion.co.uk
