It’s a delight to welcome back Hollie after well over a decade and we can’t wait for some lush grooves and velvety vocals. Hollie Cook combines her unique vocal talent with charming charisma to craft her own dynamic strand of lovers rock with enduring tropical pop tones, weaving a path from her West London roots to an arena of diverse collaborations, critically acclaimed records and iconic live performances.

Cook’s musical identity has been shaped by the reggae and soundsystem culture of 2000s London, the sweetness of Motown, and the emotional intensity of pop icons like Björk and Mariah Carey, all the way through to the lovers rock of Janet Kay and the rocksteady of Phyllis Dillon.

Hollie Cook has transformed her inspirations into a sound that is unmistakably her own, carving out a career defined by warmth, melody, and emotional resonance. Her music moves effortlessly between magic and melancholy, the heart-lifting and heart-breaking. With her 2025 album, Shy Girl, Cook is going back to her roots – tight grooves, beautiful vocals and catchy melodies – more self-assured and more open to vulnerability than ever before. She continues to affirm her place as one of contemporary reggae’s most distinctive voices.

"Hollie Cook is majestic – the modern-day queen of Lovers Rock."
