British Soul singer, songwriter, and producer Mica Millar has released “A Little More Time For Love,” a new single out now via her own label, Golden Hour Music. It’s the latest track to be revealed from her forthcoming second album, A Little Bit of Me, set for release on June 5, 2026.

Written and Produced by Millar, the album was recorded at Studio Miraval in the south of France, and has themes of “cyclical change, resilience, and emotional honesty.”

Written with the live show in mind, “A Little More Time For Love” follows her 2022 debut album Heaven Knows which was shaped a serious spinal cord injury that nearly left her paralysed.

Beginning work on “A Little Bit of Me”, Millar set out asking what an “upbeat” Mica Millar record might sound like and reflecting on her writing approach. Starting from rhythm instead of piano, Millar built the track around drums and bass, enlisting the help of Gregory Porter’s drummer Emanuel Harrold to record demo drum ideas.

The track draws from the signature patterns of some of Millar’s favorite 60s soul records, like The Supremes, The Staple Singers, Aretha Franklin, and The Emotions.
