Ahead of the release of Hollie Cooks fifth studio album, Shy Girl, the anthemic, feel-good title track and rootsy chugging Frontline take either side of a 7 single.

Woven with tight grooves, beautiful vocals and catchy melodies, Hollies forthcoming album hears her more confident and open to vulnerability than ever before. The title track of the album Shy Girl is a buoyant and elastic slice of lovers rock. It was written in a moment of spontaneous intuition, and bubbles with a charisma and positivity that Cook radiates. Im not a natural show-off, Cook explains. The Shy Girl theme is me. Its just about being my most vulnerable self and being as true to the music that love as possible. Doused in Hollies signature tropical pop sound, Shy Girl is grounded in a vibrant bassline and classic off-beat reggae guitar struts. Hollies dreamy vocals radiate warmth and tenderness in equal measure, adding to the songs soft-hued embrace.

The deep roots flavour of Frontline takes the B side. Complete with raking electric guitar lines, a dubby bassline and weighty horn section, its a powerful cut thats both ethereal and empowering. Wearing her heart on her sleeve with this beautifully melancholic piece of songwriting, Hollie opens up through her lyrics with an emotional depth and striking honesty.
