Few events change everything quite like parenthood does. Nothing prepares you for the amount of love (or lack of sleep) you’ll experience by embarking on this chapter. Riley Pearce has always chronicled such major moments via his music, threading his experiences into the fabric of a sonic patchwork of indie, alternative, and folk. Thus far, he has generated hundreds of millions of streams and views and garnered acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Atwood Magazine, and many more. Now, he examines the most significant season of his life on his 2024 album, It’s Your Turn Now. Riley has been teasing the new album with releases “How Will I Know,” “Slow This Down,” “Come Up For Air,” “Indefinitely” (with Liang Lawrence), and “Only You,” reeling in millions of streams. He deliberately emphasised giving all of the songs “their own unique feel.” “Becoming a dad changed everything and really made me patient,” says Riley. “I think that translated to my songwriting. I’m finding the right sound and the right way to deliver the story of my songs. I’m also learning to not rush things and just enjoy moments for what they are.”
