Katy J Pearson has shared a new single, “Float.” It is the latest release from her forthcoming album, Sound of the Morning, which will be out on July 8 via Heavenly. Listen to the new track and view Pearson’s recent performance on Later…with Jools Holland below, along with a full list of Pearson’s upcoming tour dates.

In a press release, Pearson states: “I wrote this track with Oliver Wilde, a founding member of the excellent Pet Shimmers—he’s been at the center 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 favorites 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.”

Upon announcement of the new album in March, Pearson shared the song “Talk Over Town,” which was one of our Songs of the Week. She later shared the album track “Game of Cards,” which was also one of our Songs of the Week. Her latest album track release was “Alligator,” also one of our Songs of the Week.
