HAZEL ENGLISH SHAKING

Can Kool Aid be made into a jelly? It’s a question that’s kept many up at night with feverish anxiety. Luckily for us, Hazel English provides the answer in her brilliant music video for new single ‘Shaking’. The answer: yes, of course. Putting a spin on the Summer of Love with it's all-too-often cultish ways, English positions herself as part-leader, part-deity in the highly stylised direction from Erin S. Murray. The song itself celebrates self-confidence within a swirling whirlpool of dream-pop melodies, hook-fronted guitars and a touch of lofi retro recording style. Hazel English doesn’t miss a step on ‘Shaking’. - Hannah Thacker
