Katy J Pearson will release her new album Someday, Now, on September 20, 2024 via Heavenly Recordings. Recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales and joined by a band made up of Heavenly label-mates Davey Newington (Boy Azooga) and Huw Evans (H Hawkline) alongside Joel Burton, Someday, Now sees Pearson’s signature sound transmuted through the desk of electronic producer Nathan Jenkins, aka Bullion [whose previous credits include Carly Rae Jepsen, Ben Howard, Nilüfer Yanya and Avalon Emerson]. Talking about the band, Katy said: 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. It felt like I was finally calling the shots for myself, and that was so empowering.

Conceived by Katy, Someday, Now’s cover captures her armed with a heavy sword: a fitting, cherry-on-top visual metaphor for a woman who has “always been shy of taking up space” well and truly finding her power.

Talking about album-opener and first single “Those Goodbyes” — a fully realized pop hit, replete with glitches, big chorus, sparkly synths and a new-found relaxed vocal confidence – Katy said:

It’s funny, I used to feel like I had to go high for people to hear the vulnerability, but actually, singing in your natural range and being relaxed in it — I think there’s something a lot more vulnerable about that.

Recent collaborations have seen Katy with Yard Act, Metronomy, Orlando Weeks and Wet Leg with whom, amongst other friends, she reinterpreted the score of The Wicker Man, in celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary
