My new album, “Cruel World”, is going to be out on 10th April, I am genuinely obsessed with it
Holly Humberstone returns with her highly anticipated second album, “Cruel World”, set for release on 10th April 2026. One of the defining voices of her generation, Holly delivers a record that lives in the tension between pain and pleasure, where chaos and acceptance sit side by side.
I wrote ‘To Love Somebody’ after watching someone close to me go through a brutal heartbreak. I think loving hard is a painful thing, but it’s part of the human experience x
Renowned for her forensic songwriting – earning an Ivor Novello nomination for her debut EP and winning the BRIT Rising Star in 2022 – Holly has evolved into a global force whose lucid, emotionally piercing storytelling resonates far beyond her own walls.
On “Cruel World”, she escapes into a dark fairytale of her own making, where childhood relics, monsters and memory collide, resulting in her most immersive, introspective and compelling body of work to date.
