THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Following 2020’s Return and 2022’s Sound Of The Morning, Someday, Now sees Katy J Pearson’s signature acoustic-led, sweetly voiced singer-songwriter fare transmuted through the desk of electronic producer Nathan Jenkins, aka Bullion. After a period of burnout, self-enforced exile from music-making, and solo travel, Pearson came back to her practice with clarity of mind and vision.
Where previous Pearson records were made with a slower, more piecemeal approach, Someday, Now was rigorously written and rehearsed ahead of time, and laid down efficiently over a couple of weeks at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire, with a band composed of labelmates Huw Evans (Aldous Harding, Cate Le Bon,) and Davey Newington, along with Joel Burton. It was engineered by Joe Jones (Aldous Harding, Dry Cleaning, Jane Weaver). “I knew exactly who I wanted to work with, I knew exactly who my session band were going to be, I knew where I wanted to record,” Pearson says. “It felt like I was finally calling the shots for myself, and that was so empowering.”
Crafting songs which range from achy-hearted, string-laden confessionals to sleek, chic soundtracks for the small hours. Unquestionably her most confident, assured, and honest album to date, the 10 tracks on Someday, Now shine with a brilliant lucidity showcasing Katy’s natural knack for a hook.”
