Holly Humberstone

In the organizer's words:

With her second album "Cruel World", the long-awaited follow-up to Holly Humberstone's first full-length album will be released on April 10 via Universal Music. The 26-year-old Brit, who has become known worldwide for her impressive songwriting talent since her first EP "Falling Asleep at the Wheel", also captivates on her second long-player with timeless alternative pop that sensitively deals with and fully unites the contradictions of suffering and pleasure in love. According to Humberstone, the album explores the state of being in love as something beautiful and something deeply painful; it is both grounding and destabilizing at the same time. Fittingly, she provided a music video for the hit single "To Love Somebody", which, with director Silken Weinberg (known for collaborations with Ethel Cain), depicts this romantic dilemma in the form of a fairytale treatment of a Brothers Grimm and Nosferatu inspiration. The domestic gothic house in which Humberstone grew up as one of four sisters would also serve this purpose. Her second album of romantic, platonic, feminine love follows 2023's 'Paint My Bedroom Black', her debut full-length, which was written on tour in hotel rooms while she pursued what she had dreamed of as a little girl: being a professional, successful singer. She was first nominated for the Ivor Novello Award in 2022 and then, as the culmination of her hard work, won the BRIT Rising Star 2022, performing "London Is Lonely" live in front of an audience of millions at the BRIT Awards. The singles from her forthcoming album "Cruel World" also promise great things, especially the single "To Love Somebody". This has already brought Humberstone into the spotlight on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and in this country on radio stations such as NRJ, YouFM, 1Live, Radio FFH, Bayern 3, FluxFM and egoFM. Their live success story is also impressive: Holly Humberstone played a London support show for none other than the current biggest pop star of our time, Taylor Swift, at Wembley Stadium, which held almost 100,000 people. She has toured extensively with acts such as Olivia Rodrigo, Girl in Red and Sam Fender. She now sells out large concert halls in the UK on her own. This year Holly Humberstone will also be performing her soulful pop ballads at festivals such as Golden Leaves in Darmstadt and Coachella in California. On her conquest of our hearts tour through Central Europe, Holly Humberstone will also be stopping off in Germany for four concerts. The Englishwoman is coming to Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin and Munich for live dates that are not to be missed.
