Description
Almost fifteen years since the release of her self-titled debut LP on Mr Bongo, reggaes orator of love Hollie Cook is returning to the label for Shy Girl, her fifth studio album and her most authentic yet.
Woven with tight grooves, beautiful vocals and catchy melodies, Shy Girl hears singer and songwriter Hollie Cook revel in her contemporary lovers rock sound, more confident and open to vulnerability than ever before.
The album opens with the title track Shy Girl, a buoyant and elastic slice of lovers rock that was written in a moment of spontaneous intuition, and bubbles with a charisma and positivity that Cook radiates. Im not a natural show-off, Cook explains. The Shy Girl theme is me. Its just about being my most vulnerable self and being as true to the music that I Iove as possible. It is this honesty which shines throughout, from the chugging deep dub of Frontline, complete with raking electric guitar lines, to the bittersweet roots ballad We Share Love, which closes out the album.
