Review
'Bloom Mountain' is like a warm hug for your soul. I was instantly drawn into Hazlett's world from the first notes. There's something so raw and honest about the way he crafts his songs - it's as if he's sitting right next to you, sharing his deepest thoughts over a cup of coffee.
I found myself particularly moved by 'Even If It's Lonely'. The way Hazlett captures that bittersweet ache of homesickness... it took me right back to my first year away at college. And 'Please Don't Be'? That hypnotic hook had me hitting replay more times than I care to admit. But it's 'Hesitate', featuring OSKA, that really got under my skin. The way their voices intertwine as they explore those moments of doubt - it's just breathtaking.
This album feels like a journey, and by the time I reached 'To Sleep In A King Alone', I felt like I'd been through something transformative. That final track, with its sun-soaked sound and passionate lyrics, left me with a sense of hope I didn't even know I needed. Hazlett has poured his heart into these ten tracks, and the result is nothing short of beautiful. It's clear why he's been turning heads since his debut single 'Lowdown, Lay It On' back in 2016. 'Bloom Mountain' isn't just a collection of songs - it's a testament to the power of vulnerability and the beauty of personal growth. - Lexi
