Listen to People HERE
Sprinkled with moments of ear candy, People is packed with infectious hooks, an unforgettable bassline and a groove that is impossible not to dance to. It’s fun, flirty, cheeky, happy, poppy and carefree; everything needed for a good time packaged into two minutes and 38 seconds.
“To set the scene of People: imagine being at a party, talking to heaps of different people that you’re not really vibing with,” says Hooks. “You’re generally underwhelmed, when all of a sudden someone who you’ve always liked but haven’t talked to since the last time you saw them (when you kind of fell in love for 5 minutes), walks into the room.”
Made with support from NZ On Air, the single was co-written with Henry Beasley (Balu Brigada) and recorded in Browns Bay with producer and co-writer Simon Oscraft. Mixed by award-winning Simon Gooding, the track was then mastered by the prolific U.K based John Davis (Dua Lipa, U2, Years & Years).
People is the third single to be released from Hooks this year, following the lush and seductive Rush, and the catchy debut release Forever. Each track showcases a different side to Hooks, as “it’s all about sonic diversity and exploring my writing ability within the pop realm. You can expect anything and everything!”
Packed with tasty hooks and a delightful swirling menagerie of influences, from Latin-American rhythms, disco, lounge, jazz, indie and pop, Hooks has sounds reminiscent of Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Groove Armada, DJ Spiller, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Morcheeba.
Hooks is a project that is just getting started; dive into the sonic landscape of recent singles and keep an eye out for more exciting music to come!
