Grammy-Award-winning artist Gary Clark Jr.releases a brand new version of “Pearl Cadillac” from his current Warner Records album, THIS LAND. The new mix single features additional vocals by fellow Warner artist and Grammy nominee Andra Day. Clark and Day became friends years ago after playing shows together. Both share a musical commonality which incorporates their disparate influences of soul, pop, blues, gospel and rock 'n' roll propelled by a strong positive energy which becomes something both new yet timeless. Once introduced into Clark's live set, “Pearl Cadillac” quickly became a fan-favorite sometimes stretching into seven or eight minutes long. The song made its TV debut on SNL in February. The new streamlined edit showcasing Day's commanding vocal performance with Clark now plays like a classic Prince-inspired power ballad.
