Over the years, we've written a number of times about Hazlett. He is an indie folk and pop songwriter signed to Nettwerk records who got started in Brisbane, Australia and has since relocated to Sweden. In conjunction with close friend and producer Freddy Alexander Hazlett has connected with a team of like minded creative souls in his newly adopted home and is preparing to release his first full length album.

His brand of nostalgic folk pop blends wistful, introspective lyrics with lush soundscapes and a touch of ballroom panache. "My Skin" is the self-title lead single from his lates release that came out last month. Combining a brooding poeticism and his signature combination of acoustic guitar and layered, sparkling vocals, this eclectic track adds orchestral elements to the dynamic mix: an arrangement for horns rounds out this surprisingly upbeat exploration of the void left behind when a relationship falls apart. This up-and-coming musician is currently working on more brand-new material for his album debut with Nettwerk, and it is clear that Hazlett is weaving his way towards something bigger.

I've seen the way you look at him
It's crawling underneath my skin
If moving on is the medicine
You're all out and I'm all in
Go everywhere we used to be
I've seen the way you look at him
You're all out and I'm all in
Hold, hold the phone
Months of pacing living rooms alone
Magnifying the tone
Let go of the reigns and hope they're wrong
