Holly Humberstone has announced her highly anticipated debut album Paint My Bedroom Black, will drop on October 13th, 2023 via Darkroom/ Geffen/Polydor Records.

Alongside the announcement, Humberstone has shared the album tracks “Antichrist” and “Room Service” today, the double A-Side singles that serve as the first tastes of Paint My Bedroom Black. With honest storytelling at the heart of her craft, the pair of tracks find Holly reflecting her introspection and extraversion, two opposing artistic multitudes that inform her lyricism and sound.

“I feel like two different people half the time,” she adds. “I love everything I’ve released, but the biggest challenge is always to make something I feel I haven’t done before, that reflects new parts of me.” The new parts of Holly appear on “Antichrist”, an exposing image of her last break-up set against propulsive pop, juxtaposed against the romantic “Room Service”.

Holly will perform songs from Paint My Bedroom Black in North America for the first time ever at her recently announced show at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on August 11th, as well as performances at Lollapalooza, Osheaga Music and Arts Festival and Outside Lands Festival this summer. When Holly first brought her intimate live shows to audiences in 2021, fans were already singing every word from her breakout debut EP, “Falling Asleep At The Wheel” released in 2020. Additional dates followed, with shows across the country including tour dates with Olivia Rodrigo and Girl in Red across North America in 2022. It was on these trips through soulless hotel rooms from March to December last year that the 23-year-old began piecing her album narrative together. Striking themes of lost loves, family units, and the deep-set fears and Holly’s “crazy” headspace, which led to the foundations of Paint My Bedroom Black.
