April 4, 2025 — Rising Sweden-based, Australian-born indie folk artist Hazlett cuts deep with his latest single “blue jean” via Nettwerk.

The release follows his 21-date sold-out North American headline tour wrapping up last month and the success of his February single, “doing my best,” which garnered over 3M Spotify streams since its release.

Known for his evocative lyrics and immersive soundscapes, Hazlett blends introspection with universal appeal, creating music that connects on a profoundly human level. “blue jean” marks another pivotal chapter in his artistic journey, further solidifying his place as a distinctive voice in contemporary music. With heartfelt vocals and bright acoustic arrangements, “blue jean” explores themes of vulnerability, ambition, and the quiet sacrifices made in the pursuit of one’s dreams.

Reflecting on the track, Hazlett shares: “I think we all have a little bit of that quit-before-it-hurts mentality built into us. Whether it’s right or wrong, I think the world has molded us to be like that to keep us safe. I’m not above it either. I’ve spent so much of my life wanting music to work and save me that it’s come at the cost of my personal life. Always on the move, always on the run, and never being able to slow down until I’ve reached the end. But the end never comes if you keep changing what it is. Just like a home doesn’t feel like home unless you stay a while.”

This summer, Hazlett will bring his heartfelt storytelling to audiences across the globe with a series of high-profile festival performances, including BottleRock Napa Valley, Outside Festival, Langs Akerselva Festival, Bourbon and Beyond, Iron Blossom Music Festival and BST Hyde Park where he will support Noah Kahan. In September, he’ll be supporting Vance Joy with four amphitheater dates.

As a follow-up to his recent successes, “blue jean” offers another glimpse into Hazlett’s evolving artistry and emotional depth, with more music and updates on the horizon.

ABOUT HAZLETT: 
Based in Sweden since 2019, Hazlett has been able to amass a solid fanbase throughout the years with over a quarter billion streams, 113K+ TikTok followers, an abundance of Spotify editorial placements including, New Music Friday, Acoustic Chill, Autumn Acoustics, Fresh Folk, Folk & Friends, Roots Rising, You’re Favorite Coffeehouse, Coffee + Chill, Café Croissant, and several TV syncs on shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Doctor, and more. However, the musical path hasn’t always been linear for the Australian folk dynamo – from being a bass player in a band in Germany to completely quitting music while making the move back to Australia. Needing to pay the bills while starting a new life interning at an advertising agency, Hazlett started to perform in local pubs. This is where his old music publisher found out about his singing abilities and introduced him to now longtime collaborator Freddy Alexander, a turning point that reignited his passion for music and set him on the path to success.

The last two years have been eventful for Hazlett, as he released his 2023 debut album Bloom Mountain to positive support from the likes of The Line of Best Fit and Atwood Magazine, having previously received acclaim from CLASH, NME, and more. Going on to support Wild Rivers and Josiah & The Bonnevilles across the UK and Europe, he ended the year by releasing the EP, Goodbye to the Valley Low.

2024 proved to be a monumental one for Hazlett – releasing a Side B EP to Goodbye to the Valley Low and having opened shows for LANY, Calum Scott, Passenger, Ocie Elliott, John Vincent III as well as his very first North American headline tour. Both EPs, later bundled as one full project, were made in an off-grid cabin on the west coast of Sweden and sees Hazlett going back to his roots with a more stripped-back and rawer sound. With Goodbye to the Valley Low, Hazlett continued to push the boundaries of his artistry and deliver a truly unforgettable musical experience.
