Hazel English has teamed up with Day Wave to produce the album "Real Life," which is being released physically for the first time in the world! A gift for fans of dreamy, bittersweet indie pop.
This album is a collection of songs that Hazel English, an indie pop singer-songwriter originally from Sydney and currently based in LA, collaborated on with her friend Jackson Phillips, aka Day Wave, from 2021 to 2024.
The record of "Summer Nights EP" released in 2022 was sold out immediately and there were many requests for a re-release, and the album "Real Life" includes the five songs included in the EP, as well as the single and two songs released after the EP release. A total of 11 songs co-written by Hazel English and Day Wave are included! Many songs are a return to the roots of indie pop / dream pop with a comfortable bedroom texture, like the work "Just Give In / Never Going Home" before the debut album, and two of the songs, "All Dressed Up" and "Jesse", are duets with Day Wave. In other songs, "When You're Around" and "Heartbreaker", the nostalgic melody line and Hazel English's vocals are perfectly intertwined, and the aspect of expressing the sound image after the debut album in the current mode is also perfectly familiar with the work.
