Sharky shares sun-kissed funk anthem “Hawaii”
Following her first single “Cause and Effect”, “Hawaii” is a collaborative project with producer duo Speakman Sound inspired by Parliament-Funkadelic’s biblical Glastonbury set and Clooney’s The Descendants.
Far removed from the grey and the cold of London, Sharkey’s “Hawaii” is a psychedelic odyssey filled with complex production, intricate melodies and a whole lot of attitude. Interestingly the lyrics were made through the cut-ups process (made famous by David Bowie) using a mixture of her own words and a selection of text from Haruki Murikami’s Dance Dance Dance. The end product cleverly reflects the static nature of material things stopping one achieving their full potential.
In Sharkey’s own words: “I wanted to create something funky and with attitude”
