PEARL CHARLES: Echoes of the trippier side of The Beatles, with a dash of ‘70s Americana

FRESH from a sellout appearance at London’s ‘Slaughtered Lamb,’ Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter PEARL CHARLES has just released the sultry, sensuous, ‘Smoke In The Limousine.’

And the track arrives in conjunction with the announcement of her biggest UK headline show to date, returning to the capital’s ‘Omeara‘ club in October.

“‘Smoke In the Limousine’, like a tarot card spread or a palm reading, speaks of our past, present and future, as well as the conscious and subconscious interpretations we project onto all three states of time,” she said.

“Envisioned ‘smoke and mirrors’ inside limousines that both promise grandeur and luxury, but also may not be all they initially seem to be. Still, we find ourselves hanging onto hope for the future, even if it may turn out to be entirely illusory.”

Guided by an acoustic guitar and strings, ‘Smoke In The Limousine’ offers hints of the trippier side of The Beatles, ‘70s Americana and elements of soft rock, with the song recorded at LA’s ‘Infinitespin Studio’ and produced by Lewis Pesacov.
