Hollie Cook

About this event

Her new album, Shy Girl, is perhaps Cook’s most authentic yet. Almost three years in the making, it has also been her most challenging. Beset by writer’s block, she switched up her process and headed for the studio with long-time collaborators The General Roots Band to write in a more fluid and collective manner. Recorded across New York, LA, Spain and London, some tunes were developed over time, others, like title track ‘Shy Girl’, came together in moments of spontaneous intuition. 
The result is a vibrant, confident record that speaks of the full spectrum of emotions. From the melancholy musings of ‘Night Night’ to the nocturnal dizzy dance of ‘Rockaway’, and ‘Rivers Run Deep’, which she describes as a “sweet song of hope and friendship”, Shy Girl confirms Cook’s place as reggae’s orator of love, in all its guises.
