With her eagerly-awaited new album landing next month, Katy J Pearson has now dropped the next cut to be lifted from her forthcoming full-length.
The new single 'Maybe' comes accompanied by a stunning new video, directed by Edie Lawrence, and follows on from the previously shared tracks 'Those Goodbyes' and 'Sky' in previewing her new LP 'Someday, Now', which is out on the 20th September via Heavenly Recordings.
Speaking about the new offering, she said, "I’ve had this song with me for years now — it took a while to get there... When I was in the rehearsal room with Huw Evans [H. Hawkline], a few lyric tweaks happened. The chorus used to be maybe I need your love / to show me that I’m good enough and he was like why are you being like this to yourself? It should be the other way round! And I was like oh, ok, thank you, feminist ally in the room. When a man’s telling me what to do in a studio I can get my back up pretty quickly, so it was brave of him to suggest it, but he was right.
"When we changed the sentiment of the song [now maybe I don’t need your love / to show me that I’m good enough] my whole feeling about it changed, and it meant that we managed to actually get a handle on what it was meant to be like sonically. It just shows that it’s really important who you choose to have in a room with you…"
