Holly Humberstone "Paint My Bedroom Black" LP (Multiple Variants)

Critically acclaimed and award-winning singer/songwriter Holly Humberstone's highly anticipated debut album, Paint My Bedroom Black, represents Holly's coming of age, growing from unknown singer at her parents' piano to one of 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.

When Holly first brought her intimate live shows to audiences in 2021, fans were already singing every word from her breakout debut EP, Falling Asleep at the Wheel, released in 2020. A global tour followed, with sell-out shows across the USA including LA's Roxy to two nights at New York's Bowery Ballroom, which led to Holly being invited on tour with Olivia Rodrigo and girl in red across North America. It was on these trips through soulless hotel rooms from March to December of 2022 that the 23-year-old began piecing her album narrative together. Striking themes of lost loves, family units, and the deep-set fears of youth and growing up intertwined with sparse and expansive sonic production; Holly's "crazy" headspace led to the foundations of Paint My Bedroom Black.

Already nominated for two Ivor Novello's, winner of the BRIT Rising Star in 2022 and runner-up in the BBC Sound Of 2021, Humberstone's bare-all storytelling is the heart of her craft, as evidenced by "Antichrist" and "Room Service," the double A-Side singles that reflect her introspection and extraversion, two opposing artistic multitudes that inform Holly's lyricism and sound.

"I feel like two different people half the time. My biggest challenge is always to make something I feel I haven't done before, that reflects new parts of me."

The new parts of Holly appear on "Antichrist," an exposing image of her last break-up, a heartbreak ballad of self-loathing, set against propulsive pop: "Am I the Antichrist? How do I sleep at night?", juxtaposed against delicate "Room Service", 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.

One of the most loved breakthrough artists for her raw, unfiltered, confessional songwriting and distinctive, can-hear-a-pin-drop vocals, Paint My Bedroom Black is Holly's fragmented and dark love letter to friends and lovers, a hideaway from the world when her fans need one.
