Black Pearl – Take Your Time – Single Review Pete Feenstra blues

Review By Darren McIntyre

Black Pearl is a project born from the lockdown which consists of Pete Feenstra, Marcus Malone, Muddy Manninen & Tomi Malm, the boys played some Euro Festivals but then put the project on the back burner whilst the members toured with their separate projects. The boys deliver their brand new single Take Your Time and plan to follow up the release with a European Tour in 2024, please sit back as I walk us through this fantastic new offering.

Take Your Time – The track comes to life with a sweet clean blues lick followed by a cool rhythm section that brings us smooth snare drum punches that bring in bass kicks and cymbal snaps that really let this track soar. The smouldering blues-soaked vocals allow the arrangement to deliver a cool vibe that instantly settles you into this fantastic groove, we have a deep funking bassline that drops epic tones all through this toe-tapping blues eruption as we feel the energy pouring from these talented musicians. The track is a really nice composition that instantly stops you in your tracks as the boys quickly bring the funk groove flowing effortlessly through this epic track, the guitar licks are just insane as we get a cool Hammond-style key tone that lets this track take us to another place as the boys dig deep and give us a full-blown blues eruption that is just building on every level.
