Mikernan Arrell takes on the Toots and the Maytals classic “Pressure Drop”, and gives it a warm new shape with care and personality. This cover works because it does not try to fight the original. It respects the song, then brings it into Arrell’s own world with soft melodies, bright playing, and a catchy performance that stays easy on the ears. His voice has a natural charm, and his delivery makes the track sound honest from start to finish. The lyrics still carry their message, but the arrangement gives them a fresh place to breathe. It is a sweet and well-made cover from a talented artist, and it also makes his upcoming album sound even more exciting.
