Jul 8, 2022Overall, Pearson has produced an album with very few weak spots. It’s a record that takes the strengths of Return and builds on them, resulting in a work that, from the very first listen, you know you’ll be going back to again and again.
-
Jul 22, 2022Sound Of The Morning displays an irrepressible knack for songwriting. There’s a nimbleness, too. ... A real treat.
-
Jul 19, 2022With Sound of the Morning Pearson has conjured and fine-tuned a far more confident, almost irresistible song set.
-
Jul 11, 2022Pearson wears her talents lightly on an album that allows space for them to breathe. Sound of the Morning is a remarkably mature record; hopefully, future releases will be just as absorbing.
-
Jul 8, 2022This album shows that Pearson isn’t shying away from darker themes. Instead, she guides the listener through new sonic terrains and out into the light.

UncutJul 7, 2022Pearson’s clear knack for melodic songcraft is plentiful, across the breezy “Talk Over Town” or the sugary indie-pop of “Alligator”, resulting in an album that nails introspective songwriting just as seamlessly as it does infectious pop. [Aug 2022, p.31]

MojoJul 7, 2022Katy J Pearson's second album heralds few radical stylistic shifts, but showcases renewed confidence, intention and focus. [Aug 2022, p.86]

Jul 7, 2022It’s excellent, and filled with momentum, even if she could have gone a bit more ethereal on the 'ooh-aahs' at the end – we know she has it in her.
-
Aug 24, 2022On Sound Of The Morning, Pearson proves she has much to show us, and should be recognised as a folk singer of real promise and singular talent.

Jul 7, 2022In between "Confession" and "Float" is the sharply contrasting "The Hour," whose haunted, fingerpicked folk and mournful vocal draw on troubadour tradition. Everything else falls somewhere in between, and somehow, from its pastoral opening title track to its glistening rock closer ("Willow's Song"), Sound of the Morning makes sense, through acknowledging struggle and uplifting with a gumption and determination that's reflected in its design.
