Holly Humberstone\u00a0announces her highly anticipated second album\u00a0Cruel World,\u00a0to be released on 10 April 2026, and releases her new single, To Love Somebody.<\/p>\n

Here is the blurb with more:<\/p>\n

One of the defining voices of her generation returns with an album that captures the tension between pain and pleasure, where chaos and acceptance exist side by side. Renowned for her forensic songwriting ability \u2013 nominated for an Ivor Novello for her debut EP and winning the BRIT Rising Star in 2022 \u2013 Holly has grown into a global force, whose lucid storytelling resonates far beyond her own walls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Entering\u00a0Cruel World, Holly escapes into a dark fairytale world of her own making, where childhood relics, monsters and memory collide. Today Holly allows us to look through the looking glass with the soaring new single To Love Somebody,\u00a0accompanied by an enchanting video directed by Silken Weinberg (Ethel Cain). Inspired by Victorian theatre, Brothers Grimm and Nosferatu, To Love Somebody is a visceral opening statement for the 26-year-old, as the new year begins. Love now, for Holly, is both grounding and destabilising. \u201cThe record explores love as beautiful and inherently painful,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn To Love Somebody I wanted to capture that contradiction: to love somebody, is to hurt somebody and to lose somebody, well at least you got to love somebody. In order to feel extreme happiness, you have to know extreme sadness. That\u2019s the tension of the record,\u201d\u00a0says Holly.<\/p>\n

The past two have been defined by repair, belonging, and rediscovering talismans to her past, moments that were forgotten when she was catapulted into the public sphere at just 20-years-old. Where her top 3 debut album\u00a0Paint My Bedroom Black\u00a0was marked by turbulence and longing,\u00a0Cruel World\u00a0is anchored in stability and recollection. Visually, Holly has built a world with her sister Eleri and creative director Silken Weinberg, inspired by childhood trinkets unearthed while leaving the Haunted House\u00a0she grew up in. From ballet shoes, to\u00a0Alice in Wonderland\u00a0books, and films like\u00a0Edward Scissorhands\u00a0and\u00a0James and the Giant Peach, sifting through her girlhood belongings reframed the ghosts of her past into something playful and magical.<\/p>\n

PRE-ORDER CRUEL WORLD<\/a><\/p>\n

From winning the BRIT Rising Star in 2022 having only released two EP\u2019s and an Ivor Novello nomination for \u201cHaunted House\u201d, to releasing her top #3 critically acclaimed debut album\u00a0Paint My Bedroom Black\u00a0in 2023, Holly has become known for her unflinching honesty and ability to articulate the quiet turbulence of young adulthood. Selling out Brixton Academy and Eventim Apollo, to headline tours in North America, Holly recently joined Sam Fender on his Australian tour in November with a run of headline dates. This February Holly will tour Europe for a run of intimate headline dates, with a UK tour in March and April, culminating at\u00a0Shepherds Bush on 2 April 2026.<\/p>\n

Holly\u2019s story began with\u00a0Falling Asleep At The Wheel, the breakthrough EP that revealed a young woman translating her haunted childhood home and three-sister household into vivid, unforgettable songs like \u201cVanilla,\u201d \u201cOverkill\u201d and \u201cDeep End.\u201d The intimacy and precision of her lyrics marked her as a diarist of the small details that make up big emotions. That voice quickly carried her from her gothic family home to the international stage: performing \u201cLondon Is Lonely\u201d live to millions at the BRIT Awards in 2022, supporting Olivia Rodrigo and Girl in Red across North America, and releasing her acclaimed debut album\u00a0Paint My Bedroom Black\u00a0in 2023, written partly in hotel rooms while living the dream she had imagined as a girl.<\/p>\n

Cruel World\u00a0was written with a new discipline through daily studio sessions with collaborator Rob Milton and draws deeply on love \u2013 romantic, platonic, and feminine. Raised among strong women, Holly speaks to the way girls are taught to see one another as competition, unlearning that instinct and reclaiming solidarity as survival. Gothic love songs on the record like\u00a0\u201cDie Happy\u201d,\u00a0which was BBC Radio 1\u2019s Hottest Record in November, explore devotion, danger and desire, pulling from fairytales, Dracula and the ache of seasons changing.<\/p>\n
