Last autumn Hollie Cook released her last album Shy Girl, another fine reggae-pop album in the tradition of the so called 'Lover's Rock' sound. An album full of wonderful melodies carried by Hollie's clear voice.
Just as she has done in the past, she’s once again taken the entire album to a whole new level with plenty of dub, just in time for Record Store Day. Just as she has done in the past, she’s once again taken the entire album to a whole new level with plenty of dub, just in time for Record Store Day. She gives the songs a deeper, darker quality that’s much more rooted in soundsystem culture. An album that’s perfect for summer days like the ones we’re already enjoying.

I missed this last year. Thanks for the tip-off
This one's in my shopping cart for Bandcamp Friday. Everything that Hollie does sounds so lovely.
I missed last year's HC album- part of me thought I already have 3 HC albums, do I need another? But clearly I need that one and this one too
Hollie was playing in Bristol (the wonderful
Thekla, no less) last Thursday and I was gutted that I had to pass up the opportunity to see her live in concert for the first time. Fingers crossed, next time. She just gets better with each release, and the dub companions are essential.
