From selling out her LA headline show at La Fonda to storming the stages at Lollapalooza in Chicago to Summersonic in Japan, Holly Humberstone has become a global live talent and this weekend gets ready to make her mainstage debut at Reading & Leeds Festival.

PRE ORDER “PAINT MY BEDROOM BLACK”
Last month, Holly Humberstone released “Superbloodmoon” featuring d4vd, the third song taken from her highly anticipated debut album Paint My Bedroom Black, out on 13 October 2023. A Super blood moon is when the Earth’s moon is in a total lunar eclipse and the sky becomes red, and Holly loved the idea of how rare it was. She met billion streaming American singer and songwriter d4vd in London at longtime collaborator Rob Milton’s studio, and they both wrote the song in a few hours, imagining two people staring at the rare lunar eclipse from opposite sides of the world.
Always inspired by her environment and how that affects her sense of self and identity, from her parent’s Haunted House to flatshares in London with The Walls Are Way To Thin, “Superbloodmoon” reflects the landscape surrounding Holly, travelling the world, taking a flight last year on tour and trying to find an anchoring and missing loved ones.
