Could this be Katy J Pearson's best track to date? 'Alligator' just dropped ahead of her new album Sound of the Morning and it is highly addictive, poppier version of the folk bliss Katy usually serves up.

For one thing, the track reaches a guitar wave climax, for another, it is pumped full of cartoon-like accents. And that "lightning strike" outro? Chef's kiss. She wrote the track with Speedy Wunderground boss Dan Carey.

See the attached video, which shows Katy in a shrinking café:

"I wrote this track with Dan Carey at his Streatham studio. The day we did so I was having the worst morning ever; I was really stressed as I had a £500 electric bill that I had to pay. I burst into tears at the studio and from that feeling, the song just surfaced from all my anxieties

Dan played the bass on this track and Yuri from the band Honeyglaze played drums which really gives the track some gusto!
