Description

Written and recorded in late 2021 after a self-prescribed period of down time spent walking, going on daily cold water swims and just chillaxing massively , even the credits on Sound of the Morning Katy J Pearson professes a new thirst for experimentation. Joining Return (2020) producer Ali Chant on desk duties this time was Speedy Wunderground head honcho Dan Carey, who worked on some of the album s grittier tracks. It all makes for a record that s increasingly unafraid to explore life s darker parts, but that does so with an openness that s full of light. As an artist who professes to always strive for the bittersweetness of things , Sound of the Morning does just that, taking the listener s hand and guiding them through the good and the bad, like the musical equivalent of an arm around the shoulder. I want people to feel things with my music, but I don t want to cause my listener too much trauma, she notes with a cheeky glint. Counseling is expensive, so you ve got to pick your battles.
