InfluencesLife, babe.

Dad gave me Be-Bop and Jazz, Mom introduced me folk and soul, the Godfather infused me with rock 'n roll, and my Godmother sings with the Boston Symphony Chorus. I appreciate music of every kind and somewhere in there I suppose every kind of music has influenced me.

Sounds Like

"Sweet and Powerful."

"A voice like honey."

"Sweet and airy, like a mothers touch."

"Her voice in these songs pulls you in like the tide of the moon."

"Angelic and earthy at the same time."

"Sublimely beautiful, uplifting, hopeful."

"Mica brings tears to our eyes."

"Her voice is sweet and fresh."

"A bit of Crowe, a bit of Baez, a smidge of hippie, a glance at things native."

(But, I wish I sounded like Chrissie Hynde. Man is she cool...and some days I want to rule the world, like Tenacious D...)

   About Mica Lee Williams

I love your smile!

Welcome to my page.

Hey All,

Just finished with the school semester. Whew!
Il y avait beaucoup de travail à faire, mais je l'ai fait!
Will be back in Boston for much of the summer, with a few choice shows lined up. My mantra until fall?
Family, Friends, Yoga, Music...Smiles.
See you back east!

May 2008 be YOUR year! Don't hold back!

Live fully.

Don't hesitate to say hello!

Music Reviews

Lucid Dreaming High

"Mica Lee Williams truly has the voice of an angel - gentle yet powerful; melodic and soulful. Her songs are songs for everyone. Her debut, Lucid Dreaming High, features the musicianship of players who have worked with top artists Paula Cole, Catie Curtis and Paul McCartney. Her vocals are captivating and her melodies unforgettable- with that Jewel crossover pop appeal."
~Singer and Musician Magazine's Top 50 New Indie Artists Releases

"Pure, cutting vocals powerful enough to stand out in a mix, but warm enough to convey a sweet presence. She shows the touch and restraint that lets her voice soar, rather than overpower. Williams balances sensitivity and a laid-back hipness with the strength of a natural vocalist and unpretentious songwriter... a poetic soul singer whose music embraces folk and pop, but maintains its own free-spirited identity."
~Vernon Morningstar Newspaper

"Mica sounds like an angel. Her acoustic sound is a little bit folk, a little bit country, a little bit rock - but all gorgeous. This is an album to buy."
~Unsigned Magazine

"This lady sings with an attitude and her sincere performance on this CD is just fantastic. Lucid Dreaming High her new release spans the musical gamut. Songs she wrote vary with each track from hard roots rock to slow and magical folk to one track with a driving country flavor. This album has everything a winning release could ever offer."
~Roots Music Report

"An album with heart and one of the best albums I have heard this summer, a triumph of pop sensibilities and independent design...memorable songwriting, extremely catchy and highly enjoyable."
~Allalom.com
