British singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone released her brand new single “London Is Lonely” on Thursday evening. This is the BRIT Awards rising star’s first release since the arrival of her EP, The Walls Are Way Too Thin. The heartbreaking song details how Holly felt disconnected and isolated when she moved to London. When speaking about “London Is Lonely”, Humberstone said:
“London felt so intense and although there were so many people around me, I felt even more isolated and like I didn’t belong. I kind of lost myself in the city. I didn’t exactly know who I was anymore, and so going home and writing felt like my safe space to process everything. It’s funny now listening to the song almost two years on, post-pandemic, and feeling like nothing much has changed at all. I’m still trying to find my place here and make it my home and so it felt right to put this song out into the world right now, when so many other people are probably feeling lost right now too.”
Holly Humberstone was recently revealed as a special supporting guest for an upcoming leg of Olivia Rodrigo’s highly anticipated 2022 SOUR Tour. The tour dates are set to kick off right after Humberstone’s debut full-length US tour supporting girl in red this spring. Holly was also just revealed as a featured performer at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 16th and April 23rd, 2022. Tickets for Humberstone’s shows with Rodrigo and girl in red are on-sale now, and a complete list of tour dates can be found on her website here.
