MOTHER PEARL FATHER FIGURES

Based in LA, Mother Pearl is a brand new powerhouse of pop vocals. With a jazz background, Katie Pearlman was brought up with resonating through every note she sings. Having written for the likes of Kelly Clarkson and Lukas Graham, her upcoming debut EP allows the songwriter to explore her own unique sound, creating a bold mixture of soulful vocals and anthemic, uplifting pop. Of the debut single‘Father Figures’, she says “I had been thinking about this concept for a long time. The concept of dating dudes who were much older than I was, and simultaneously fixating on these older male figures in my life by making them into something they were not. I never thought I would be one of those girls with daddy issues, but I kept finding myself in scenarios where I was the broken hearted, naive, younger woman in the picture.” So without further ado, here's 'Father Figures' driven by Mother Pearl's unmissable voice. - Dan Peeke
