October 13th 2023

Album Release

The wait is almost over for Holly's album to come out!!!

Holly Humberstone this week released her new track 'Superbloodmoon' which feautres d4vd, the third song taken from her highly anticipated debut album 'Paint my bedroom Black', is out on 13th of October 2023. A Super blood Moon is when the Earth's moon is in a total lunar eclipse and the sky becomes red, and Holly loved the idea of how rare it was. She met billion streaming American singer and songwriter d4vd in London at longtime collaborator Rob Milton’s studio, and they both wrote the song in a few hours, imagining two people staring at the rare lunar eclipse from opposite sides of the world. Always inspired by her environment and how that affects her sense of self and identity, from her parent’s haunted house to flatshares in London with 'The walls are way to Thin', 'Superbloodmoon' reflects the landscape surrounding Holly, travelling the world, taking a flight last year on tour and trying to find an anchoring and missing loved ones.

Holly Humberstone’s debut album 'Paint my bedroom Black' represents her coming of age, growing from an unknown singer at her parent’s piano to the most exciting Alternative Pop stars of her generation. The dark and otherworldly space Holly has built and invited fans into, both sonically and visually, has been lucid and visceral, with the camera always on her shoulder, a lens into her chaotic thoughts and deep feelings. Already nominated for two Ivor Novello’s, winning the Brit - "Rising Star" in 2022 and coming runner up in BBC Sound of 2021, Humberstone’s bear all storytelling is the heart of her craft.

With a talent for capturing and characterising moments that are both uncomfortably intimate and brutally revealing in her songwriting and creative - most of Holly’s 2022 was spent in hotel rooms, stuck between places, watching life from afar rather than being totally present in it. Lacking real connections and missing loved ones, the stirring official video for 'Antichrist', directed by Jean-Charles Chavarin, tells the story of the self flagellation that comes with hurting someone you love, as you run away from yourself, trying to escape from room to room, until your reflection turns away from you. Last week, Holly dropped the 'Room Service' video, shot in room 627 on a webcam, the same room that Holly invited eighty fans to hear songs for the first time from 'Paint my bedroom Black' Inspired by early zoom calls where Holly’s world felt blurry and faraway, the video captures a day in the life of Holly on tour, trying to find normality and home in the mundane, locked away from the World in a hotel room.
