British songwriter Holly Humberstone comes from humble beginnings in the UK’s East Midlands countryside, where fame is merely a dream for many. Self-releasing his debut EP in 2020 and securing performances on Kimmel! Live and The Late Late Show with James Corden, plus an opening slot for Lewis Capaldi, Humberstone eventually caught the attention of noted label(s) Polydor (UK) and Darkroom/Interscope (US), whom she’ll be partnering with for future releases.
The songwriters sharp and honest lyrics ring comparison to the detailed storytelling of other EU artists Ben Howard and Damien Rice, US indie darling Maggie Rogers, and a delightfully fresh twist of Straya’s Lorde at times. It’s hard to box Humberstone into one genre box, which probably is the best thing for a rising artist who has creativity and time to offer to anyone willing to listen. Humberstone has a new single, “Haunted House”, dropping in the coming weeks on what should be a quick rise to stardom.
