Swapping the clubs for the sun-kissed Caribbean beaches, Hollie Cook puts her lovers rock spin on the UK garage classic “Sweet Like Chocolate” by Shanks & Bigfoot, ahead of her forthcoming UK tour.

Premiering at Brooklyn Vegan, “Sweet Like Chocolate” is a playful yet refined reworking of the ’90s club favorite and follows Hollie’s successful Vessel of Love LP release earlier this year. After her bass guitarist played the track backstage, Hollie spotted an opportunity to step out of her comfort zone: “I thought that would be a great one to try, and slightly more contemporary than my previous cover attempts!”

Vessel of Love, Hollie’s third full-length, was described by Pitchfork as “pristine” and received further critical acclaim, garnering Album of the Day on BBC Radio 6 Music—following several A-listed singles—as well as support from Beats 1, Metro, Noisey, Refinery 29, and The Guardian. Cook’s confident return was also a commercial success, taking the top spot on the Billboard Reggae Chart and reaching number three in the UK Independent Album Breakers Chart.

Ever active on the live circuit, Hollie recently joined David Rodigan for prestigious London shows at the Royal Albert Hall, Somerset House, and the Southbank Centre, sold out the Jazz Café in London, and played with Rudimental at Sofar Sounds’ Amnesty International fundraiser. Her touring schedule continues this summer with appearances at Electric Fields, Bingley, and Festival No 6—following earlier sets at The Biggest Weekend, Latitude, Dour, Standon Calling, Oya, and Boomtown—before completing another UK tour throughout October.

With Vessel of Love, Hollie has proven her mainstream appeal whilst becoming one of the most prominent female voices in the scene, and with a choccy-block touring schedule for the rest of the year, this will be her sweetest summer yet.

“Cook sings her desire and pain into an exalted, beaming sway.” —Pitchfork
