“Music is very visual for me, and I love to create little worlds around it. This EP is verdant, a secret spot in the garden with round velvet chairs, cocooned and warm, with soft edges and lots of plants. I look at the music as biophilic, the synths, drums and production are the architecture, and my voice, the organic sounds, and the lyrics are the green and natural elements that run through…I’ve always had an overactive imagination!”

A brief exploration on Instagram unveils the tale of a girl, undisturbed and absorbed in her studio. Meet PEARL, the singer-songwriter and producer, whose name is an ode to her birthstone. I can only imagine she is the kind of artist that would welcome you to her house through the gate, entwined with Marigold and Gaillardia there’s this sunset coloured tranquil to her artistry. Reminiscent of a 2017 Maggie Rogers, this debut EP is incredibly exciting, her organic synths and pulsating beats bring life to the world of her words.

Hinted by the title of the EP – ‘Where Do I Go’ touches on themes of acceptance, each song was written as a way of processing emotions and events and moving on from them in a positive way, on this PEARL says:

“Writing these songs was a really reflective process, I would look back at a memory, make sense of it, and plot a path through. It was really cathartic.” 

Recorded and co-produced at Urchin Studios with Matt Ingram, the EP is inspired by the likes of Sylvan Esso, BANKS and Maggie Rogers, as well as the lyrical imagery of Ben Howard. Dancing delicately between indie pop, alt pop and synth pop, WHERE I GO is an intoxicating amalgamation of celestial vocals, echoing synths, pulsating beats and shimmering melodies.
