Ronnie Wood is delighted to announce the arrival of ‘Mother of Pearl’, the second original recording from Ronnie Wood’s eagerly anticipated upcoming anthology Fearless: Anthology 1965-2025.
A brand-new composition from Ronnie himself, the track marks a triumphant return to songwriting, sparked by the creative momentum of Fearless, and features vocals from Irish singer songwriter Imelda May.
‘Mother of Pearl’ is a joyous slice of classic R&B-infused rock’n’roll, bursting with energy, warmth, and infectious hooks.
Co-produced by Ronnie’s son Jesse Wood and studio maestro Sean Genockey, the track was recorded at both the legendary Abbey Road and Metropolis Studios, and mixed at Rek Sound Studios.
It showcases Ronnie’s unmistakable guitar work and heartfelt vocals, backed by Ian Thomas on drums, Guy Pratt on bass, Matt Clifford on keys, and Sean Genockey on acoustic guitar. Adding a shimmering layer to the track is the stunning vocal contribution from Imelda May, whose soulful tones bring a new dimension to this feel-good anthem of love, longing, and redemption.
