Releasing her debut EP this week, Hazel English is ready to break free.
With her video for "Control" the Oakland artist presents an idyllic depiction of that. Leaving a world of monotony behind, English's incandescent melodies offer a revitalizing escape to a happier state.
Dancing in a sunlit wilderness and a darkened bar, the video depicts English regaining command against wearying routine.
Following her EP release this Friday, Hazel English will perform across the UK and Europe next month. Watch "Control" below and find details of these upcoming shows beneath.
Never Going Home is released via House Anxiety/Marathon Artists on 7 October.
