Hazlett - Shiver

 

Australian folk singer Hazlett has recently released his emotively-charged new single Shiver via Nettwerk, taken from his upcoming new 6-Track EP out 4th October, which will see him complete his Goodbye to the Valley Low-project. Making exceptional use of the track's space comes a heart wrenching 3 minute 34 ode to self reflection as he questions the control he has on life's choices. Speaking about the single, Hazlett says, ‘I’ve always had this tug-o-war in my head of how much control do I really have of my life? Do I have to be petrified of every decision I make? Or do I just say whatever will be will be and sit back? I think to some extent whatever path we take life has a funny way of taking us to our destination anyway. But that only happens when we’re led by our gut, we have good intentions and we’re not scared to make the wrong choice. Sometimes it is just about choosing a door to open and being irrationally confident that the universe will guide you to where you need to go either way.’ Speaking further about the album's conception he shares, ‘Truth be told there was never meant to be a Side B to Goodbye to the Valley Low, but the more that I tried moving on from it the more I kept getting pulled back,’ Hazlett explains. ‘I think being out there in the cabin brought out a lot of initial feelings that I worked through and then after that I was left with all these half thoughts and feelings that needed a little more work to figure out. Which might be why it sounds a little bit darker at times. If Side A was the curiosity of the cabin then Side B is working through all the questions that it left behind.’
