Hollie Cook – Hollie Cook

"Sugar Water" uses the rhythm from Johnny Clarke - Love Is Universal.
Really good album, well-produced and sung to reward multiple listens for but has an immediate pop appeal.

I've got a bit of excess vinyl on the outside of the this record. It's not enough for me to send it back but it's sharp and could snag the sleeve.

Otherwise, it sounds great and I love the record.

The summer of 2011 welcomed the self-titled debut album from Hollie Cook. Hollie’s self-coined ‘Tropical pop’ sound stems from her passion for reggae singers Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon combined with classic 60s girl groups. The album is produced by friend and collaborator Mike Pelanconi, better known as Prince Fatty. The debut single ‘That Very Night’ is currently making waves across radio, with Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 2/6 Music), John Kennedy (XFM) and David Rodigan (Kiss) among her many supporters.

The album includes a cover of Shangri-Las’ ‘(Remember) Walkin’ In The Sand)’; transformed from a dark emotive song to one filled with a flavour of hope. The talents of Omar, Dennis Bovell, George Decker (The Pioneers), Style Scott and Horseman also feature across the album.

If it wasn't for watching a review on a turntable I was interested in, I might never had found out about Hollie Cook. My ears feel like they're melting with this album lol. Such a chill and good vibe. No unwanted noises either, sounds amazing on the setup I have.

I Cannot say enough about how good this album is, i just discovered Hollie Cook and i am blown away by the Vocal talent and the amazing chilled Reggae\Ska Grooves
Unbelievably Good Album, being played Non-Stop
