Critically acclaimed and award winning singer songwriter Holly Humberstone's highly anticipated debut album ‘Paint My Bedroom Black’.
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’, ‘Paint My Bedroom Black’ represents Holly’s coming of age, growing from unknown singer at her parent’s piano to the most exciting alternative pop stars of her generation.
Speaking on the album, Holly said, “This album is an exploration of the two sides of myself that coexist. One side, the introvert who wants to board the windows up and shut the world out, writing about wanting to escape my surroundings and the confusion of life on the road last year. The other side of me, the extrovert, writing about a budding relationship, deep connections and love. I spent most of last year on the road, and although I kept busy and enjoyed touring for the most part, I found myself retreating back to empty hotel rooms in foreign cities every night while watching my life at home carry on without me through my phone screen. Late at night, I felt the panic of being left behind the most. Yearning for home, I never felt like I was totally present wherever I was in the world. It all felt like some weird dream; like a fake existence that I was alone in. The only way I knew to find clarity was to write.”
