About

Hollie Cook isn't just dipping a toe into reggae; she's gracefully swimming in its shimmering waters, emerging with a sound that's both deeply rooted and utterly her own. Daughter of Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook, her punk rock lineage provides a subtle edge to her sun-drenched sonic tapestry. Cook crafts a unique blend of reggae, dub, and dream-pop, a sound she’s sometimes dubbed "tropical pop." Her vocals, often layered and ethereal, float effortlessly over hypnotic basslines and vintage keyboard textures. Her career took off after collaborating with Ian Brown of The Stone Roses and appearing as a vocalist for The Slits before launching her solo career in 2011 with her self-titled debut. Subsequent albums, like "Twice" and "Vessel of Love," solidified her position as a leading figure in contemporary reggae. Cook's music avoids cliché, instead focusing on introspective lyrics and a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for late-night listening. Beyond her own albums, Cook's collaborations with producers like Prince Fatty and Dennis Bovell have expanded her sonic palette and cemented her credibility within the dub community. Her distinct style and captivating stage presence have earned her a devoted global fanbase. Currently, Hollie Cook continues to tour and release music, further refining her signature blend of reggae and dream-pop, promising an evolving journey through her unique musical world.
