Hazel English "Wake Up!" CD
This is definitely the hottest topic on the indie pop scene this year! The long-awaited debut album by the retro & dreamy new generation genius singer-songwriter Hazel English is a masterpiece that easily exceeds expectations!
The endlessly catchy and bittersweet melody is a nostalgic yet dreamy new sound that reinterprets 60's girl pop with a modern indie sensibility - a new pop masterpiece that should be listened to by people of all genres and generations has been born!
Hazel English, a singer-songwriter from Sydney/West Coast, has captured the hearts of indie fans not only with her superb pop sound but also with her high-sense fashion and visual expression. She has finally completed her long-awaited debut album! Produced by Justin Raizen (Charli XCX, Sky Ferreira, etc.) and Ben H. Allen (Deerhunter, MIA, Animal Collective, etc.), the album is released by Marathon Artists, an up-and-coming UK label that also produces Courtney Barnett and Jamie Isaac.
While keeping the same retro and dreamy bittersweet worldview as the coupling album of the early EP "Just Give In / Never Going Home" ('17), the songs have been clearly scaled up in both melody and sound, making all the songs killer enough to be singles! And contrary to the sparkling sound, the title track also has a radical and powerful message calling on modern people who spend their lives like sleepwalkers to "wake up!" Hazel, who has made great strides both as a songwriter and an artist, begins her true march with this overwhelming masterpiece!
