about

(New York, NY - May xx, 2021) While people were quarantining during the 2020 pandemic, feelings of isolation and loneliness were inevitable. 40-year career rock guitarist and vocalist, Mike Skill, releases a song for the times, “So Soul Alone'' that describes what many people have been experiencing for the past year. “So Soul Alone” comes out on May 28th, and is from Skill’s upcoming EP, [title?], set to release on July 16th with a vinyl edition to follow this fall.

On the single, Chloe F. Orwell - the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for Chicago-based band The Handcuffs - joins Skill on backup vocals and saxophone. Orwell is also married to Brad Elvis, drummer and Skill’s long-time bandmate of The Romantics.

“So Soul Alone” is the fifth solo release from Skill since summer 2020. Skill describes his new single as having a “sort of Steve Cropper guitar style and a Muscle Shoals sound with a mix of Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground.” His previous singles include “We Got You Rock N’ Roll,” “‘67 Riot,” “My Bad Pretty,” and “Not My Business,” all of which have amassed over 50,000 streams on Spotify.

In a recent feature about his previous single, “‘67 Riot,” American Songwriter states that Skill’s songwriting “inspires emotion that seems very relevant to what’s going on in the world today.”

Be sure to check out Mike Skill’s latest single, “So Soul Alone,” out on May 28th, and his upcoming EP, _____, out on July 16th.
