LIST PICK
KATY J PEARSON HEY YOU
Following her dazzling Heavenly Recordings debut 'Tonight' in October of last year, West Country native Katy J Pearson has returned with another accomplished taste of things to come. Written with the intention of reassuring a close friend who was struggling emotionally at the time, 'Hey You' is the musical equivalent of a hug. With heartfelt lyrics, warm, fuzzy organ sounds and laid-back strums on an acoustic guitar, pure piano parts pick up the momentum in the second verse. Harnessing some feel-good Fleetwood Mac vibes towards the end, Pearson's impeccable vocals soar effortlessly above a steady bass groove as she delivers the euphoric line, "aaaah, a cloud in the night sky". Coated with a subtle country quiver, that Stevie Nicks herself would be proud of, 'Hey You' manages to feel timeless and completely current at the same time. Listen here now. -Holly Mullineaux
