Coming in From the Dark is the 4th solo album from Auckland Soul singer Hollie Smith.
Weighed by the burden of heartbreak and expectation it's taken her 5 challenging years for her to record, all the while under the shadow of the pandemic.
Finding the protracted creative process a cathartic experience, Hollie's emerged with a new found confidence and spirit that see's her collaborating with Sol3 Mio, Teeks and the NZSO on the album.
She talks to Charlotte Ryan about facing her fears and stepping into the light.
