The debut single from Cork singer-songwriter Sarah Hickey, 'Hollow', is a very strong opening salvo with plenty of interesting strands. From the bluesy tones of the guitar and chugging bass-line we get a grooving strut right from the outset. Hickey also has an interesting and versatile vocal which, combined with the music, doffs its cap to the likes of Fleetwood Mac or Heart, mixing introspective sombre tones with powerful peaks, the most pleasing aspect though is the soft and balmy timbre. This is a good, solid start.
