“I don’t know why it takes so much effort to feel good these days,” sings Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Nicole Rodriguez aka [**Pearla**](https://new.glamglare.com/artist/pearla?ref=glamglare.com). Chances are that a similar thought has crossed your mind, too, at times when happiness seems to be just out of reach. But Pearla wraps this sentiment in a sprawling 5-minute lushly arranged song that reflects the drama and the hope of escaping such a stalemate.

Pearla says about the song:

> “’Effort’ is about being too tired to do the things that you know will make you feel better. Getting stuck in a pattern of isolating yourself and resisting what you know you need. I wrote it as a sort of scream out from the stuck-ness.” 

Watch the video for “Effort,” directed by V. Haddad:

With this single, Pearla announced her debut album, “[Oh Glistening Onion, The Nighttime is Coming](https://new.glamglare.com/album/pearla-oh-glistening-onion-the-nighttime-is-coming?ref=glamglare.com),” out October 21 on Spacebomb Records.
