Despite only launching the project earlier this year, Pocket has embraced his new moniker with open arms and quality releases. Abandoning the WATGOOD alias to dive into a sound that was more meaningful to him, the Scottish producer has delivered one soul-stirring piece after another, impressing with singles such as ‘Aquarium‘ and ‘Different Ways To Love You,’ and remixes for Rohaan and Zeds Dead. Continuing to build on that momentum, Pocket returns today with a luscious single titled ‘A Pearl’ via 4XLA.
“To me, the song felt like this precious item once I’d completed it. It had a feeling of delicacy and total individuality. I always strive to write melodies and have them be texturally interesting, and this felt like no exception. However to me, there is something more polished and straightforward about ‘A Pearl’, and that’s why I love it so much,” Pocket states about his latest. Building upon his incredibly infectious signature sound in ‘A Pearl,’ Pocket uses simple yet satisfying vocal and synth leads to create spine-chilling rhythms that are equally soothing as they are upbeat. The bassline and percussion carry a natural groove to them that make listeners want to dance the night away, but the pairing with magical effects and crisp vocal sampling keeps the emotions flowing throughout. ‘A Pearl’ is a rich future garage ballad that can be played on repeat for hours on end.
With more releases lined up for the rest of the year, you can expect more from Pocket soon. Until then, dive into ‘A Pearl’ below.
