Soulful Sounds of a Lifetime: Mica Paris' Emotional Playlist
The soulful voice of Mica Paris, known for her classic hit 'My One Temptation', takes us through the highs and lows of her musical journey. With a playlist that spans generations, genres, and emotions, we delve into the singer's personal favorites that resonate deeply with her.
God Will Open Doors by Walter Hawkins marks the beginning of Mica Paris' musical upbringing, shaped by the gospel family she grew up with. The song's uplifting melody echoes her childhood memories, where her aunt introduced her to American gospel records, while her grandparents disapproved due to its perceived secular nature.
Her inexplicable affinity for Prince's 'Adore' is evident in every lyric, evoking an intense connection. Meanwhile, funk and dance take center stage with Tom Browne's iconic 'Funkin' for Jamaica (NY)', a song that still gets her moving on the dance floor. James Brown's energetic 'Sex Machine' brings everyone together, transcending musical boundaries.
However, there is one song that leaves Mica Paris heartbroken – Whitney Houston's 'Greatest Love of All'. The emotional toll of knowing Whitney so well and hearing this classic hit triggers an overwhelming sense of pain. This sentiment stands in stark contrast to her deep appreciation for Prince's music.
At karaoke nights, the infectious energy of Busta Rhymes' 'Gimme Some More' keeps the crowd moving and grooving, making it a staple on Mica Paris' playlist.
But beneath her tough exterior lies a secret admiration for Taylor Swift's upbeat 'Shake It Off'. Her humility in sharing this preference reveals a more vulnerable side, one that doesn't align with her tough-girl persona.
The power of gospel music is also evident in Dorinda Clark-Cole's poignant 'I'm Still Here', which moves Mica Paris to tears every time she hears it.
A pivotal moment came when Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' was played by her father, sparking a desire for her own musical direction and paving the way for her soulful voice.
Closing out this emotional journey is Gary Barlow's beautiful ballad 'Heaven', which Mica Paris wants to be sung at her funeral.
Throughout this playlist, we witness the evolution of an artist who seamlessly blends genres while staying true to herself – a shining testament to the transformative power of music.

but seriously, it's crazy how her taste in music has evolved over the years. I love that she puts gospel at the start of the playlist - reminds me of sunday afternoons spent listening to my aunt's vinyl collection 
. Prince's 'adore' is still a fave of mine too... nothing like his funkiness to get you moving 
. But what's interesting is how her tastes are all over the place, from whiny pop songs to upbeat bangers - just like me after a few too many natty lights 
and i love how she shares her secret admiration for taylor swift's 'shake it off' 
like, who wouldn't want to dance along to that? 
anyway, gotta give props to mica paris for being real about her feelings & sharing her playlist with us

i love how she shares her vulnerable side, especially with taylor swift's 'shake it off' 
its like she's showing us that even though we have tough exteriors, our true feelings can still be super sensitive 
my mind keeps picturing this diagram of a person with a strong outer layer and an inner, soft center 
i was listening to her song 'my one temptation' and i thought about how she must have felt when she first heard prince's 'adore'. like, that song is SO emotional and beautiful 
i'm loving mica paris' soulful playlist it's so emotional and real she's gotta be singing about some serious stuff with that whitney houston song 
but at the same time, her love for prince is everything 
️ Busta rhymes' 'gimme some more' is giving me life right now 
. Prince and Whitney would be proud
