“Shaking” distances itself from Hazel English’s debut EP, Just Give In / Never Going Home, with a more grandiose sonic palette than its predecessor. While the EP maintains a hazy, lo-fi approach, “Shaking” shows the singer opening up her sound, which can be heard in her soaring vocals and lush drive of the chorus. Though the airy approach is still there, the single succeeds at packing a bigger punch than before.
It gives me great pleasure to let you know that Shaking is now out in the world! Shaking is a song about power, seduction and the promise of spiritual awakening. It’s the dream that precedes wake, where you wake up in the dream and think you’re living in reality but you’re actually still asleep.
