Hollie Cook Announces New Album ‘Happy Hour’

It's out on June 24th...

Hollie Cook will release new album 'Happy Hour' on June 24th.

The new project was constructed alongside General Roots band members Ben Mckone and Luke Allwood, with Youth stepping in as executive producer.

An attempt to push her music in a fresh direction, Hollie Cook dips into the Lovers Rock legacy but from a 2k22 angle.

She explains: “Particularly with the songwriting, I was trying to really push myself and be open, to not be restricted in any way. I have always been a fan of theatrical pop music and wanted to experiment more with the song form.”

“I can’t get away from it,” Hollie adds. “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.”

Out on June 24th, new single 'Full Moon Baby' is a soulful, sultry return, with plenty of low-end weight rubbing up alongside her coy vocal.

Hollie Cook explains: “The song is 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.”

Tune in now.
