SUCCESSFUL AS SOLO ARTISTS, THE COUPLE NOW COMES TOGETHER ON NEW COLLABORATIVE PROJECT
DEBUT ALBUM IN THE WORKS
“I got some big, big feelings to deal with
I got some big, big feelings need healing
I’ve got a lot in the back that I been trying to unpack
And I don’t know what to do with these feelings”
–Lyrics from “Big Feelings”
Having achieved success as solo artists, including hit collaborations with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, indie pop duo CAEK AND MINKO are now reintroducing themselves with the release of their single “Big Feelings,” out today, August 23, on their own Taji Records. Partners in both music and life, Caek (Mikaela Nelson) and Minko (Mike Slap) are ready to embark on this new chapter of their careers, showcasing their growth, and seamlessly pairing catchy pop melodies with empathic and intelligent storytelling. “Big Feelings” delves into the complexities of human emotion, offering listeners a relatable soundtrack to navigate life’s ups and downs.
Caek and Minko’s “Big Feelings” out today, August 23:
“‘Big Feelings’ traverses the complex relationship with human feelings and trauma,” the duo explains of the new single. “Both uplifting and insightful, it seeks to normalize the often unspoken truths about existing with emotional turbulence.”
Caek and Minko had made an entire life together before ever writing a song together. Born and raised in Rhode Island, the pop duo started as friends and occasional collaborators before becoming partners—and eventually parents to a son. Separately, they accumulated solo musical successes: Caek as a multi-instrumentalist with unmatched vocal prowess; Minko with millions of streams under the name Mike Slap to go with high-profile collaborations with the likes of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. But it wasn’t until 2020—after years of grinding through the music business and honing their individual crafts—that they ever decided to write alongside one another.
The process unlocked a new level for their music—and their partnership too. As a team, Caek and Minko are a self-contained pop duo with a distinct sound. The songs they churn out from their humble home studio are infectious, bright, and organic, with effortless hooks and always with a powerful message. Now, on the verge of releasing their debut album, they stand as proof that finding a missing piece can make everything click—and that sometimes, the missing piece may have been right alongside you all along.
Look for more new music to come in the following months.
