Description
Critically acclaimed and award winning singer songwriter Holly Humberstone today announces her highly anticipated debut album Paint My Bedroom Black, to be released on 13 October 2023 on Polydor Darkroom Geffen. Always inspired by her environment and how that affects her sense of self and identity, from her parentrsquos Haunted House to flatshares in London with The Walls Are Way To Thin, Paint My Bedroom Black represents Hollyrsquos coming of age, growing from unknown singer at her parentrsquos 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 Novellorsquos, winning the BRIT Rising Star in 2022 and coming runner up in BBC Sound Of 2021, Humberstonersquos bearall storytelling is the heart of her craft, today releasing ldquoAntichristrdquo and ldquoRoom Servicerdquo, the double ASide singles that reflect her introspection and extraversion, two opposing artistic multitudes that inform Hollyrsquos lyricism and sound. ldquoI feel like two different people half the time. My biggest challenge is always to make something I feel I havent done before, that reflects new parts of me.rdquo The new parts of Holly appear on ldquoAntichristrdquo, an exposing image of her last break up, a heartbreak ballad of selfloathing, set against propulsive pop ldquoAm I the Antichrist How do I sleep at nightrdquo, juxtaposed against delicate ldquoRoom Servicerdquo, an ode to locking yourself away from the world. The introduction of these two starkly different tracks act as a revolving door into the visceral duality of Holly Humberstone.
