Night Night

Description

Hollie Cook, one of the most captivating voices in reggae, returns to the label that released her beloved debut album in 2011. Back on Mr Bongo, "Night Night" is a full-fledged aperitif and a taste of what awaits in the next era of Hollie's musical journey. Returning to her roots, this latest single embraces the iconic tropical reggae/pop sound that made Hollie famous on her first two albums. With a career that has only strengthened since those beginnings, the drive, charisma, and confidence gained over the years are plain for all to see. Recorded at Crosstown Studios in London with the General Roots band and produced, mixed, and dubbed by Ben McKone, "Night Night" bears witness to the longing of a lonely lover. Anchored by a crushing bassline, imposing guitars and shimmering keyboards offer a sunny contrast. Hollie's soft, sensual vocals shine throughout, accompanied by the legendary Horseman for a toast—a collaboration not seen since Hollie's first album. In true reggae style, the 7" single is accompanied by a classic dub mix, adding reverb and floating delays, while giving Hollie and Horseman a more spacious, stripped-down flow.
