MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM
HESITATE | HAZZLET
Lately, I’ve had Hazlett’s single Hesitate on repeat (and a lot of his songs). There’s something about the raw indie production and emotive falsetto that struck me deeply during a season of loss in my family. While the song doesn’t speak directly to that topic explicitly, it carries the weight of those unspoken feelings—the ache of never knowing when your last moment with a loved one will come. For me, it’s become a quiet reminder not to hold back, but to choose presence, love, and connection while we have the chance.
