Holly Humberstone returns with her highly anticipated second album, 'Cruel World', released April 2026. One of the defining voices of her generation, Holly delivers a record that lives in the tension between pain and pleasure, where chaos and acceptance sit side by side. Renowned for her forensic songwriting - earning an Ivor Novello nomination for her debut EP and winning the BRIT Rising Star in 2022 - Holly has evolved into a global force whose lucid, emotionally piercing storytelling resonates far beyond her own walls. On 'Cruel World', she escapes into a dark fairytale of her own making, where childhood relics, monsters and memory collide, resulting in her most immersive, introspective and compelling body of work to date.
