Holly Humberstone wrote “Room Service” when she was touring around the world last year, and missing loved ones, feeling like she was watching their lives on phone screens. “We’ll look around to see we’ve lived another year, I’ll fill the calendar with plans for you my dear”, sings Holly over a delicate acoustic guitar. Today, the artist releases “Room Service” the video, shot in room 627 on a webcam, the same London hotel room that Holly invited 80 fans to hear songs for the first time from her debut album, Paint My Bedroom Black, arrives on October 13 2023. Inspired by early zoom calls where Holly’s world felt blurry and faraway, the video captures a day in the life of Holly on tour, trying to find normality and home in the mundane, locked away from the world in a hotel room. One half of the Grantham-born singer and songwriter’s double-A side singles along with the heartbreak ballad “Antichrist”, the juxtaposition of both songs – the light and dark.

Having just headlined her first UK festival at Barn On The Farm, Holly also performed “Antichrist” to 100,000 fans at Newcastle’s St James Park earlier this month, supporting Sam Fender. Coming up, Holly will perform songs from Paint My Bedroom Black in the US 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.

“I wrote Room Service a little while ago when I’d just started touring full time. I was finding myself constantly stressed out and although I was having fun, I was really missing home and my friends. I felt like I was watching them live out their lives from a phone screen, like I was being left behind. There was this swelling feeling that I was growing apart from that world that I was missing so badly, and I just didn’t want to be forgotten. AlI I wanted to do was to get a hotel room with my best friend, lock the world out and do stupid stuff like order room service. To me, this song is a simple love song to the people I care about the most, and the seemingly basic experiences you share together that can so often be taken for granted. The busier I get, the more I treasure the precious time I get with my friends and family; the more I value them in my life,” says Humberstone
