Mike Rickard’s debut, Stirred Not, Shaken showcases his ability as both a singer and a songwriter. Rickard’s voice ranges from catchy, on the poppy “Lucky,” to romantic, on the ballad “Forgot to Forget.” His lyrics may not be the most creative, but they are relatable. Whether he’s singing about his personal experiences, or sharing his thoughts on a global issue, listeners will appreciate Rickard’s sensitivity. “Home for the Holidays” captures the loneliness of not having anyone with whom to share special occasions. On “Natural,” Rickard subtly speaks on the issue of homosexuality, with the lyrics, “It’s only natural, baby/That I would fall in love with a guy like you.”
