On September 8th, HAZL debuted the music video for ‘Like That’, in celebration of his first release of 2025. The West London-based artist draws from Detroit R&B roots, blending Motown foundations with UK edge that delivers on his signature sound of slick wordplay and smooth vocals. Known for centering Black experiences, HAZL crafts music that uplifts Black communities, marking this as a key project in his catalog where he handles writing, directing, and production.
Collaborators include videographer MORELIFELONDON, choreographer Alisha ‘Reckless’ Vilhete, model Botshelo ‘Bee’ Nkolobe, and photographer Sach Visuals, bringing a team of UK talents who’ve worked with major names.
The track pulses with energetic Detroit R&B drive, featuring HAZL‘s signature passionate vocals and sharp lyricism. He pours out devotion to a woman who’s simply ‘like that’, mixing romance and sensuality through clever wordplay. Botshelo is surrounded by opulence; from the golden hues of the set to being fed fruit like the classic depictions of peak ancient royalty. The video brings this to life amid French Baroque decor, extravagant trim, luxury brands, and poured wine emphasizing the effortless grace of Black women. The chemistry between HAZL and Botshelo is convincingly sultry and electric- which is extremely refreshing in times where performative acting and virtue signalling flood the modern music industry.
HAZL had this to say: “I know what you like, what you deserve and what you expect and I will provide it without you even needing to ask. Your favourite food, your favourite wine, clothes, bags, jewellery and how you like to be touched. Whenever, wherever. I am at your beck and call.”
