Katy J Pearson joins forces with Drug Store Romeos, Wet Leg and Sarah Meth on "Fire Leap"

The forthcoming EP is part of the five-disc The Wicker Man 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition. "Fire Leap" features musical contributions from Drug Store Romeos, Wet Leg and Sarah Meth. Also featured on Katy J Pearson & Friends Present Songs From The Wicker Man is H Hawkline, The Broadside Hacks, Orbury Common and Bert Ussher as well as remixes by Richard Norris and Stone Club.

The EP came about as Pearson had previously included a cover of "Willow’s Song" – Paul Giovanni’s track from the soundtrack to the 1973 cult film The Wicker Man, on her last album, Sound Of The Morning.

Earlier this year Pearson released her new version of "Willow’s Song", re-recorded especially for the EP and featuring London folk collective Broadside Hacks, to coincide with THE WICKER MAN: THE FINAL CUT, which was shown for one night only at a number of UK cinemas and the Pilton Palais Cinema on the first night of Glastonbury Festival on the evening of Summer Solstice.

"Introducing a younger audience to the classic films in our library is so important to us, and so we jumped at the chance to work with Katy J Pearson and Heavenly, to breathe new life into The Wicker Man’s iconic soundtrack. This very special EP aims to bring a whole new generation of film and music fans to worship at the feet of this brilliantly scary cult film, in celebration of its 50th Anniversary," says Candy Vincent-Smith of STUDIOCANAL.
