Review: Hollie Cook - Rockaway Dub / Dub Me In Your Arms (Mr Bongo)

Hollie Cook's 'Shy Girl' gets out and about in dub with some help from producer and desk master Ben McKone! 

Hollie Cook my be a 'Shy Girl' (see review HERE of her last album) which happens to be her 5th, album producer Ben McKone gets his 'Made For Record Store Day' 2026 analogue mixing desk out for some 'old fashioned' Lovers Rock dubs.

Taking on 'Rockaway' and 'Take Me In Your Arms' to the delays, echoes and reverb roots of King Tubby (as recently recommended by Bass, Mids, Tops' Joe Muggs) which work so well alongside the original versions or one their own; 'Dub Me In Your Arms' is particularly spacey even if it uses more of Cook's vocals.

A full 'Shy Girl in Dub' album is promised so again, "shy girl no more me thinks".
