Fire & Lace 04:43
He’s been coming around on the daily
 One hand in his pocket and the other one to the sky
 He doesn’t care, doesn’t notice how much he amazes me I’m hooked and I don’t know why But there’s something about him that I can’t explain And he gets me going again and again and again He goes down like whiskey
 Being around him always seems to make me dizzy That kind of love burns like a flame And it happened oh so quickly
 I’ve been knocked out so please forgive me If I can’t live without a taste...of fire and lace I have never been one to lose my head But this feeling burns right through me He is danger and I am grace, I am caution and I am lace I’m hooked and I don’t know why He goes down like whiskey
 Being around him always seems to make me dizzy That kind of love burns like a flame And it happened oh so quickly
 I’ve been knocked out so please forgive me If I can’t live without a taste...of fire and lace And it’s so warm, I can’t deny it
 Baby you’ve got me glowing... I gotta try it It’s so warm, I can’t deny it
 Baby you’ve got me glowing...and I like it He goes down like whiskey
 Being around him always seems to make me dizzy That kind of love burns like a flame And it happened oh so quickly
 I’ve been knocked out so please forgive me If I can’t live without a taste...of fire and lace © Mikaela Kahn & Justin Shelton 2014

I’ve been separated from the action
 You could be my little chemical attraction
 We don’t need the city lights to feel our freedom flowing Come on let me be your guide ‘Cause baby life goes by at a quicker pace And I don’t wanna be swept away I just wanna lay here
 Baby hit pause and play here And maybe if the mood is right We could even spend some time Take me, take me to the hottest desert
 And we’ll be breathing into the pressure
 We don’t need to go outside, the world is all around us Let me fall into your eyes ‘Cause baby life goes by at a quicker pace So while we have this time to waste I just wanna lay here
 Baby hit pause and play here And maybe if the mood is right We could even spend some time And maybe we could read all day and listen as our hearts grow full No distraction, no more delay
 In our minds we travel far
 Making love on a distant star Baby with you is where I wanna stay I just wanna lay here
 Baby hit pause and play here And maybe if the mood is right We could even spend some time © Mikaela Kahn & Justin Shelton 2014

Losing You 04:43
Tell me how to fall back
 Disconnect the call back...‘cause you’re ringing through my mind And I know something’s changing
 No it doesn’t feel the same when you and I hypothesize And I know you used to say that I was your favorite thing
 But somehow life got in the way and I feel our love unraveling So tell me am I losing, am I losing you? ‘Cause baby my heart is bruising, and I’m wondering if yours is bruising too...am I losing you? I don’t wanna miss you
 ‘Cause baby when I kissed you nothing ever felt so right I am not possessive
 But I’m just saying let’s give this love another try And I know you used to say that I was your ray of light
 But if you give your sunshine away, then who will light your sky? So tell me am I losing, am I losing you? ‘Cause baby my heart is bruising, and I’m wondering if yours is bruising too...am I losing you? You were lost, and you were scared before you made me the one So be warned, and be aware that you will miss me when I’m gone So tell me am I losing, am I losing you? ‘Cause baby my heart is bruising, and I’m wondering if yours is bruising too So ell me am I losing, am I losing you? ‘Cause baby my heart is bruising, and I’m wondering if yours is bruising too...am I losing you? © Mikaela Kahn & Justin Shelton 2014

Believe 04:39
Certain as the sun don’t fight the red
 Certain as a candle doesn’t feel the heat upon its head
 I’ve been waiting long, I’ve been waiting long, I’ve been
 Waiting for you to come on, and let go of fears that hold you back Sometimes in the night I dream
 That everything is what it seems
 Nothing in the greater scheme, but I still believe Whether it’s wrong or right I do, I do believe
 That we are connected by, by the air that we breathe I don’t know what’s waiting after I, after, after I leave And I don’t believe in lies...
But I still believe I still believe And it never mattered much to me
 Heaven is the tempo
 Song is all the prayer that I could need
 There ain’t nothing wrong, there ain’t nothing wrong with me Nothing wrong with singing to the tune of your philosophy Sometimes in the night I dream
 That everything is what it seems
 Nothing in the greater scheme, but I still believe Whether it’s wrong or right I do, I do believe
 That we are connected by, by the air that we breathe I don’t know what’s waiting after I, after, after I leave And I don’t believe in lies...
but I still believe I still believe… © Mikaela Kahn 2014

I Want You 03:52
I Want You Lyrics by Mikaela Kahn, Music by Mikaela Kahn & Justin Shelton How did it get this far? I guess we are just who we are
 But that’s no excuse for the heart we tore open When did I get this way? If rules were made for breaking then why do I feel so ashamed? And maybe it’s wrong but I still know...I’d probably do it all the same ‘Cause I, I want you, I want you baby I, I want you, I want you Why did you let me stay? Am I a diamond in your focus, A hypnotizing memory? No you don’t have to say it ‘cause I know...the world is broken, broken hey Ooh what do you do to me? I can’t let go (of) your milky way
 Baby I feel your pull so strong, so come on wrap me in your gravity ‘Cause I, I want you, I want you baby I, I want you, I want you I can’t fight it
 Ooh I feel it all Baby you’ve unlocked me So I’ll just let it pour ‘Cause I, I want you, I want you baby I, I want you, I want you ‘Cause I, I want you, I want you baby I, I want you, I want you © Mikaela Kahn & Justin Shelton 2014

Baby I love your mind
 The way your colors shine
 And if I could watch the world go by with you by my side I know I’d be fine
 I know I’d be fine You know all the words
 To a song in my heart that no one else has heard
 And you recognize what hides inside so I feel reassured Baby you’re the cure
 Yes, you’re my cure So give me a little more
 Raise your glass and baby pour
 ‘Cause to me you are the sweetest wine and oh how I adore So give me more
 Ooh baby won’t you give me more
 Give me more © Mikaela Kahn 2014

Heaven must have sent you to me
 Pardon if I stumble, pardon if my knees go weak ‘Cause I’m feeling something That I’ve never felt before How long until I got you, how long until I’m there? How long ‘till I can feel you boy, missing you, I swear How long until I wake up to you and not a call? How lo- -o- -ong...’til I am where you are? I am awful fragile, and I am awful at playing safe
 Without you here I tremble, you’ve got the love I can’t replace ‘Cause I’m feeling something That I... just can’t ignore How long until I got you? How long until I’m there? How long ‘till I can feel you boy, missing you, I swear How long until I wake up to you and not a call? How lo- -o- -ong...’til I am where you are? Oh I will never sacrifice another day Darlin’ I will never hesitate
 And oh I know there wasn’t another way But how long must I wait? How long until I got you? How long until I’m there? ‘Cause I can't take this burning, it’s killing me I swear How long until I wake up to you and not a call? How lo- -o- -ong...’til I am where you are? © Mikaela Kahn 2014

about

Over the last few years, Austin, TX based Mikaela Kahn has checked off many classic early 20s life milestones: graduated from college, moved to a new city, fallen in and out of love, embarked on her chosen career path. Of course her version isn’t entirely typical. College consisted of one of the world’s most acclaimed Jazz programs, and her career path included stints as a backup singer for an award winning Elvis impersonator and R&B luminary Chrisette Michele (including stops at Madison Square Garden and a support slot for R. Kelly). Still, these experiences helped Mikaela craft an extraordinary album out of the kinds of early adult experiences most anyone can relate to.

Mikaela’s debut full-length Milk & Honey is a collaboration with producer Justin Shelton. “We had always talked about writing together,” says Kahn, “but it never really worked out as we lived in different cities. One day he sent me a track he’d been working on and I got out my recorder, recorded a few freestyle melodies and lyrics, and everything just clicked. We finished our first song in about a week and it became “Losing You,” one of my favorites on the album.”

The album glides between pop and R&B touchstones, kicking off with the rousing lead single “Fire & Lace.” Expansive synth pads give way to shimmering guitar and a chilled out R&B groove before hitting the accelerator and shifting to a roll down the windows, shout the words in your car kind of chorus. Another standout, “Chemical Attraction,” sounds warped in from a 90s R&B/trip-hop dream. Mikaela rides the tightest groove of the record, sounding coolly sultry amid the retro, analog warmth of Shelton’s synths and guitar.

“I’m not afraid to write about things that are personal and vulnerable and I think that makes for more authentic songs,” says Mikaela. This statement is beautifully illustrated on “Losing You,” a touching ballad that sees her reaching emotive heights on a minimal R&B canvas that lets her charged vocals take center stage. “I Want You,” another highlight, immerses listeners in a moody electronic landscape reminiscent of current tastemakers like Frank Ocean and The Weeknd. Mikaela’s take turns on effortless vocal fireworks and understated hooks that are influenced by 90s legend Aaliyah.

With these seven tracks, Milk & Honey establishes Mikaela Kahn as an exciting new voice, unafraid to synthesize a variety of influences into a sound all her own.
