Reggae-Pop

British reggae singer Hollie Cook specializes in a smooth, slightly dubby update of vintage roots and lovers rock sounds. Her third studio album, co-produced by Youth (Killing Joke, the Orb), is her best so far, matching smartly written songs with adventurous, trippy production.

Following their globe-conquering breakthrough Fat of the Land a whopping 7 years later with an album that didn't even feature their two most recognizable elements – Flinty and Maxim – probably wasn't the smartest move, but there's plenty on this set to please fans of the outfit's raucous, aggressive attack. The Gallagher brothers, Juliette Lewis, Kool Keith, Twista, and many more provide vocals on highlights like "Spitfire," "Girls," "Hotride," and "Get Up Get Off."
