Holly Humberstone returns with a captivating EP, following the enchanting journey of her debut album, Paint My Bedroom Black. In “Work in Progress,” she unveils raw vulnerability, painting vivid scenes of lovers cocooned in a car, each lyric a brushstroke in her poignant storytelling.

Her ethereal voice, akin to a whispering breeze through a moonlit forest, deepens the album’s emotional resonance. The production is a symphony of brilliance, seamlessly weaving storytelling and vulnerability into a tapestry of folk and pop elements. In tracks like “Dive,” she delicately murmurs, “I ruin everything,” the echo of her words lingering like a haunting melody.

“Down Swinging” stands as a defiant anthem, a declaration of resilience against life’s storms. Amidst the rain on her favorite night and the ominous plans for her funeral, she refuses to succumb, a beacon of strength amidst adversity.

“Easy Tiger” echoes this sentiment, as Humberstone erects barriers to shield her tender heart. Despite longing to venture out, she finds solace in the quiet rebellion of staying in, adorned in finery for no one but herself. The poignant refrain, “Put your feet up on the dashboard and we’ll ride this out together,” resonates with a bittersweet beauty, a promise of solidarity in uncertain times.

At only 24 years old, Holly Humberstone’s artistry shines brightly, leaving us eagerly anticipating the masterpieces she has yet to unveil. “Work in Progress” is not just an EP; it’s a glimpse into the boundless potential of a rising star, a testament to the enduring power of vulnerability and resilience.
