premiere: tropical heartbreak anthem “freefalling” by hollie cook details being too free-spirited to settle for one love

West London singer/songwriter Hollie Cook’s show at the Borderline was sold out, and the documentary by punk band The Slits (whom she started her career touring with) launching at BFI London Film Festival this month featuring Cook isn’t yet out (although a new trailer has just been released!), but you don’t have to wait to experience the magic of her music.

Cook’s latest single, “Freefalling,” features her melodic vocals atop alluring synths and a rocksteady beat that sounds like tropical paradise. But the feel-good song isn’t all sunshine and sprinkles. The track is actually a complex narrative describing the intricacies of heartbreak.

“‘Freefalling’ is a song about feeling/being too free to love one person individually and have someone else’s love hold my attention,” Cook explains. “It’s actually a sad song, but also represents what was a liberating turning point in my life, being able to move forward with all my own self love and self worth.”
