‘Take Your Time’ features Marcus Malone (Motorcity Hustlers/Malone Sibun/ Motown artist & European Blues Awards nominee) on vocals; guitarist Muddy Manninen (14 years with Wishbone Ash / Gringos Locos/Hipkiss) & Tomi Malm, Finnish producer, arranger, and composer on keyboards and drums.  He also mixed the song at Xenoble Studios, Helsinki.

Lyrics are by songwriter Pete Feenstra who says of the song;

“I specifically wrote this with a combination of Marcus’s soulful vocals and Muddy’s dreamy guitar parts in mind.

The idea was for the music to evoke a feeling of time and space, where everything eventually will fully reveal itself.

Tomi’s rhythmic architecture and mix was the icing on the cake.”

Take Your Time

Feel in the ground you walk,
You can smell it in the air,
You hear it when the people talk,
There ain’t nothing to compare.

A time and place where spirits meet,
Where hearts and minds collide,
That’s why it feels so lonely,
With no lover by your side

Hook
If your looking hard enough,
Then you'll surely find,
Nothing left there to discuss,
Just need to take your time.

V2
It’s there when the morning calls,
With a chorus sung so loud,
Silent autumn leaves will fall,
As they gently kiss the ground.

You can’t beat intuition,
When everything’s been be said,
There’s nothing superficial,
‘Bout willing to be led.

Hook

If your looking hard enough,
Then you'll surely find,
Nothing left there to discuss,
Just need to take your time.

Bridge
Always leave a residue, like layers in the rocks,
Memories of things you do, all wrapped in a box,
Interwoven history, fills another page,
Same old curiosity, but in a different age.

Hook
If your looking hard enough,
Then you'll surely find,
Nothing left there to discuss,
Just need to take your time.
Hook
If you looking hard enough,
Then you'll will surely find,
Nothing left there to discuss,
Just need to take your time.

‘Take Your Time’ is a belated follow up to the band’s self titled debut album, which was described by Blues Blast as having: “The grit of the blues, embellished by layers of Clapton-style funk and Skynyrd-style rock with a shimmer of 21^st-century techno on top.”

Raw Ramp called the band’s music: “Mature and meticulous instrumentation, smooth rhythmic performances, remarkable vocals, lyrical soul and guitar translucency.”

Black Pearl was born in lock-down and subsequently played a few Euro festivals, but was then put on hold while band members toured with separate projects.

Buoyed by the new single, the band will embark on a European tour in February
