Hollie Cook - Hollie Cook Hollie Cook

Mr Bongo present a yellow vinyl repress of Hollie's sensational, self-titled 2011 debut album. 14 years on, this timeless debut produced by Prince Fatty fuses Hollie's self-coined 'tropical pop' sound with her passion for reggae and lovers rock singers such as Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon and classic '60s girl groups. An album that radiates with highlights, it features what would become one of Hollie's most popular songs, the super catchy, sun-soaked 'Milk & Honey' that has racked up over 46 million streams on Spotify alone.

Elsewhere, there are distinctive reggae cover versions of the Shangri-Las '(Remember) Walkin' In The Sand', transformed from a dark, emotive cut into one filled with a flavour of hope, alongside a signature new spin on Rachel Sweet's amazing, laidback 'It's So Different Here'. Take to the bass-heavy 'Sugar Water (Look At My Face)' for a dub-leaning workout and look to the singles 'That Very Night' and 'Body Beat' to further feel the synergy between Hollie and Prince Fatty, showcasing songs that are inspired and influenced by the past but with a definitive foot in the present. Adding further weight to this iconic debut, there are a talented array of musicians featuring across the record, including Omar, Dennis Bovell, George Decker (The Pioneers), Horseman, Style Scott, Black Steel, Mutant Hi-Fi and more.

Along with Prince Fatty at the controls and Hollie on the mic, together they crafted a classic sound that feels as fresh (but also as vintage) as it did fourteen years ago. A modern masterpiece in its genre, and the start of Hollie's journey to becoming the contemporary queen of the lovers rock sound.
