Hollie Cook Shares Her Full Moon Baby: New Song
Hollie Cook has just released Full Moon Baby a preview of her next album, Happy Hour.
Here’s the record company blurb with more about Hollie’s Full Moon Baby:
Today, Hollie previews the album with lead single “Full Moon Baby” which arrives with a new music video shot with her backing band, General Roots:
Here’s Hollie on “Full Moon Baby”:
Inspired by new life and, of course, the moon. Two of my closest friends had recently had babies, and I was filled with so much hope and love. Moons and babies both have such a soft, gentle nature to them and fill me with wonder. Also, babies look like tiny moons.
An excerpt from the Vivien Goldman–penned album bio:
With Happy Hour, Hollie Cook matures into the queen of modern-day “lovers rock”—the lush girly harmony reggae style beloved in Britain since the 1970s.
Touring as a teenager with punk legends The Slits encouraged the fierceness within her sweetness. Hollie’s mentor was Ari Up, the band’s lead singer and a lifelong friend of Cook’s parents (Sex Pistols drummer Paul and her singer mother Jeni). “My father always said I would be a singer. But I discovered lovers rock on my own. I heard it on pirate radio and with friends, and I was bewildered, enchanted,” she recalls. “The Slits are the reason I have pursued this career. I was surrounded by powerful women at a young age, and when my time came, I was never fazed by male dominance. They were my wall of courage.”
From those feisty roots, Hollie has only grown. Her soulful directness on Happy Hour is relatable and authentic. “I can’t get away from it,” she says. “Making this music that I love, I do turn deep inside myself. It makes me explore a lot of human truths and feelings that we should not shy away from, and it feels like a release to turn them into songs.”
Hollie Cook will make live appearances at several summer festivals and, later this year, embark on a tour that will take her across the UK, Europe, and North America. Get your tickets today, and make sure you’re following Hollie on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook for more updates.
