Float serves as the latest preview of the singer-songwriter's forthcoming LP, 'Sound Of The Morning', due out through Heavenly Recordings on July 8.
Co-produced by Ali Chant, the soulful, folky track features Black Midi's Morgan Simpson on drums and was co-penned with Pet Shimmers frontman Oliver Wilde. Pearson commented:
"I wrote this track with Oliver Wilde, a founding member of the excellent Pet Shimmers – he's been at the centre of the Bristol music community for several years. For the new album, I wanted to collaborate with some of my peers that I admire, so I jammed with Oli for a few weeks – he’d come round with his laptop and interface and we’d write songs together.
"Float is one of the tracks that came out of those writing sessions and as soon as we wrote it I knew that it had to be on the record; it was one of my favourites to write and I love it. It has such an atmosphere and I think you can really feel the emotion and pain of the song; it’s about life experiences and all the things that lead up to certain moments. It’s quite nostalgic and given the past two years we have had, references wondering about when things will become more stable again."
Pearson will support the full-length with a headline UK tour in September. She also has summer festival appearances in the diary, including sets at Glastonbury, Bluedot, Latitude, Deer Shed, and Green Man.
