  • Description

    Ahead of the release of Hollie Cook's fifth studio album, Shy Girl, the anthemic, feel-good title track and rootsy chugging 'Frontline' take either side of a 7" single.

    Woven with tight grooves, beautiful vocals and catchy melodies, Hollie's forthcoming album hears her more confident and open to vulnerability than ever before. The title track of the album 'Shy Girl' is a buoyant and elastic slice of lovers rock. It was written in a moment of spontaneous intuition, and bubbles with a charisma and positivity that Cook radiates. "I'm not a natural show-off," Cook explains. "The Shy Girl theme is me. It's just about being my most vulnerable self and being as true to the music that love as possible." Doused in Hollie's signature "tropical pop" sound, 'Shy Girl' is grounded in a vibrant bassline and classic off-beat reggae guitar struts. Hollie's dreamy vocals radiate warmth and tenderness in equal measure, adding to the song's soft-hued embrace.

    The deep roots flavour of 'Frontline' takes the B side. Complete with raking electric guitar lines, a dubby bassline and weighty horn section, it's a powerful cut that's both ethereal and empowering. Wearing her heart on her sleeve with this beautifully melancholic piece of songwriting, Hollie opens up through her lyrics with an emotional depth and striking honesty.
