Bombay Bicycle Club Share “Diving” featuring Holly Humberstone

Bombay Bicycle Club have shared the next single off their new album, My Big Day. “Diving” featuring Holly Humberstone. Vocalist Jack Steadman on “Diving”: “Diving is a song about that summer you have when you’re 15, the memory of which conjures up such a unique feeling. You’re discovering everything for the first time and the world seems as scary and exhilarating as diving off a tall cliff into a lake.” “Holly is the perfect fit for this song. Her music perfectly captures those feelings of early life, and her voice gives the whole song so much emotion.”

The collaboration initially stems from Holly asking Jack to do some writing for her own music. Knowing Holly was already a fan of the band, they knew exactly who to ask when needing someone to accompany Jack on “Diving”.

Alongside Holly Humberstone, Damon Albarn, Jay Som, and Nilüfer Yanya all lend their voices across the course of the record, with a fifth special guest releasing a song with the band later this Summer.

With co-production from Jack Steadman on the album, additional production comes from Paul Epworth on the track “Heaven” and Ben Allen who co-produces “Turn The World On” – the band previously worked with Allen on their hit single “Shuffle” back in 2011. The record was mixed by Dave Fridmann (renowned for his work with The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, MGMT, HAIM). My Big Day drops on
