Earlier this fall, we brought you the music video for “Smile,” a fun, buzzy new single from local singer-songwriter/producer turned Rihanna cohort and Grammy performer Mikky Ekko. At the time, we knew that Ekko had plans to release his debut, solo full-length sometime next year, but had yet to learn any concrete details. That has all changed, however; along with premiere of a new music video for ballad-y single “Time,” Mikky has announced that his record, also called Time, will drop on January 20, and preorders are available here. Watch “Time” below, and, if you hurry, you can still catch Mikky Ekko live TONIGHT at Marathon Music Works for Lightning 100’s annual Fesitvus with The Weeks and more! Details here.
