Formerly known as the lead singer for rock band D’Haze, Hazel Smith embarks on a solo journey with her new project H A Z E. A cinematic dark pop style with hints of electro, she experiments with other genres such as synth wave and prog rock. Even though words and voices hold a central place in her solo work, H A Z E gives a lot of importance to sound design and arrangements to carefully craft each song’s sonic imprint and create a different ambience each time.
“She is so creative, courageous and as a performer you can’t help but like her sultry vocals.
H A Z E is a musician who has taken the brave step of re-inventing herself and has this uncanny ability to stretch you mind and heart. A change of direction is blowing in the wind and we need to join her for this riveting ride.” - A&R Factory
“Formerly the lead singer of rock band D’Haze, Smith now performs under the H A Z E moniker and has shifted to a dark-pop, electronic focused sound. On her debut single ‘King’, her clear vocals float above brooding guitars and hazy electronics, with her mantra-like lyrics encouraging empowerment and self-rule.” - Get in Her Ears
“Her music centres around story telling and lyrical craft, dealing with introspective topics, duality and human relationships. Her style of writing is emotional and dives into the deeper layers of the human mind.” - Live Flame
