‘Afterthought’ by Judy Pearson

Following the trajectory of the pop princesses that have come before her, rising star Judy Pearson is breaking the mould with her historically-influenced ballads. Inspired by Greek mythology, the London-based singer’s new single ‘Afterthought’ draws on the Greek god of Epimetheus, whose name means “hindsight” or “he who thinks last.” After experiencing the toils of a toxic relationship, the track’s depth is shaped around Pearson’s ex: “he only thought of me when things were going wrong in his life.”

The tender lyricism that effortlessly fuses into punchy melodies speaks to Pearson’s integral talent. The singer-songwriter’s ability to transform historical events, from Ancient Greece to Tudor England, into beautiful, eloquently constructed storytelling places her in a category above the rest. Her track ‘Remember Me’ uses one of Henry VIII’s letters to Anne Boleyn, using iconic British history with a sleek, contemporary spin. 

With over four million streams across all platforms, Pearson’s music has touched audiences across the globe with her timeless relevance yet unique flair, highlighting her as a trendsetter for the next generation of pop music.
