Mia Wilson
Mia Wilson premieres new single “I Want It All” from her forthcoming self-titled debut album due November 14th on Royal Oakie Records.
The third single to be released from Mia Wilson’s upcoming self-titled debut album, “I Want It All” came to Wilson and her partner Skyler Lusteg all at once, both a paen to youthful joie de vivre and a bittersweet realization that there’s only so much time, featuring gorgeous strings courtesy of Kaitlin Wolfberg.
Says Wilson,
“The lyric, melody and chord progression were birthed spontaneously, all at once, which is unique for our process. Typically Skyler will work out a chord progression, we will create a melody and then I will write lyrics to that melody. In this case, I had hit a wall working on a different song and this one came through out of nowhere. The meaning of the lyric was apparent from the start. I often find myself in a contradictory state, wanting multiple experiences simultaneously and finding it difficult to do it all.”
Mia Wilson is the debut album from Southern California singer-songwriter Mia Wilson. Produced by Tim Ramsey (Vetiver, Little Wings, Kacey Johansing), the album blends piano and guitar based compositions with lush orchestral arrangements to create a backdrop for Wilson’s introspective lyrics and captivating mezzo-soprano vocals. The album recalls the golden glow of late 60’s & early 70’s LA records like Carole King’s Tapestry, Judee Sill’s Heart Food, and Jackson Browne’s Late For the Sky.
Wilson and her partner Skyler Lusteg began writing the songs that would make up the album in 2021, just before meeting Ramsey and drummer Trevor Beld Jimenez (Fruit Bats, Tall Tales and the Silver Living, GospelbeacH) while opening for the their band Parting Lines on California’s Central Coast. Ramsey and Beld Jimenez encouraged Wilson and Lusteg to record a full length album, offering to breathe new life into their songs in the studio.
The majority of the album was recorded live over the course of three days in 2024 at 64 Sound in Los Angeles with Tyler Karmen (Sharon Van Etten, Alvvays, Richard Edwards) as engineer. The rest of the album was tracked in Ramsey’s home studio Endless Sound, with the exception of a studio session at Altamira Sound in Alhambra, CA with engineer Carly Bond (Meernaa). David Glasebrook (Patti Smith, Michael Nau, Sam Burton) later mastered the album at his studio The Garden Shed in Oakland, CA.
Royal Oakie Records is excited to release Mia Wilson on November 14th 2025. Available worldwide on vinyl, CD, and digital platforms.
