Tracklisting 1. For Me You Are (Vocal) 2. For Me You Are (Dub Version) *****RECORD STORE DAY TITLE***** Mr Bongo is proud to announce the release of this 7” rework of the track ‘For Me You Are’ - a ska version of an old Andrews Sisters’ classic, from its very own starlet Hollie Cook, in collaboration with Mr Bongo’s infamous producer Prince Fatty. Side A is the vocal version taken from Prince Fatty’s highly anticipated forthcoming album on Mr Bongo in 2012 (Prince Fatty Vs the Drunken Gambler). Side B features the dub version taken from Hollie’s recent ‘In Dub’ album where Fatty adds heavy bass and reverb texture to Hollie’s beautiful, captivating vocals. The dub versions showcase real tape echoes, heavy spring reverbs and alternate instrumental elements such as melodica, percussion and horns. All the dubs were mixed live in Prince Fatty’s studio in the same Rub a Dub style as was made famous in 70s Jamaica by King Tubby and others, i.e with fingers, late night vibes and re-arranged with a razor blade. Hollie Cook was born and bred in West London in a household dominated by music - with Sex Pistol Paul Cook as her dad, music was always around. The summer of 2011 saw the release of her self-titled debut album which received critical acclaim from many and resulted in being on an array of ‘Top Albums of 2011’ lists including The Word, The Mirror and Rough Trade. Hollie’s self-coined ‘tropical pop’ sound stems from her passion for reggae singers Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon combined with classic 60s girl groups. Singles ‘Body Beat’, ‘That Very Night’ and ‘Milk & Honey’ made waves gaining heavy support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, BBC 1Xtra, XFM, Kiss, Choice FM, culminating in a live Maida Vale session for Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and a Later... With Jools Holland performance on BBC 2. Hollie’s live band played Big Chill, V, Festibelly, One Love, Jazz Cafe in 2011. This year sees Hollie gearing up for the release of an album of new material and a 20-date tour, with notable performances confirmed at Bestival, Camp Bestival, The Vintage Festival. The summer will see Hollie play to her biggest crowd in Manchester to support The Stone Roses in their historical comeback tour in the summer.
