West London artist Hazl has just dropped his long-anticipated single, ‘LIKE THAT’, on August 25, 2025, under his independent label. Known for blending nostalgic R&B elements with modern Hip-Hop, Hazl has been steadily carving out a name in the UK music scene. He boasts spins on radio stations such as BBC Radio Solent, collaborations with emerging talent, social media buzz, and sold-out local showcases, positioning him as one of London’s most exciting new voices.
Born and raised in West London, Hazl draws inspiration from multiple eras: from the Motown, Disco, and Funk sounds of the 70s and 80s to the golden Y2K era of R&B, Hip-Hop, and iconic music videos. Equally influenced by the 2010s UK wave of Melodic Rap, Afro-swing, and R&B, Hazl merges these worlds into a unique sonic identity. His music brims with nostalgia while contributing to the modern culture of London, aiming to stand shoulder to shoulder with the legends he grew up admiring.
‘LIKE THAT’ is a Detroit R&B anthem, offering up a love story wrapped in rich production and sultry lyricism sure to ensnare fans of Bryson Tiller, Chris Brown, and KWN. The track celebrates love and the divinity of black women, with Hazl promising to fulfill every desire of the woman who inspires the song. Paired with a cinematic music video, set to premiere September 8 and directed by Hazl himself, the visual features French Baroque interiors, luxury fashion, and choreography by Alisha ‘Reckless’ Vilhete, with performances from Botshelo ‘Bee’ Nkolobe and cinematography by MORELIFELONDON. The result is a statement piece that merges wealth, romance, and empowerment into one unforgettable single.
