Holly Humberstone Announces Debut Album, ‘Paint My Bedroom Black’
Ethan Shanfeld Holly Humberstone, the pop singer-songwriter behind “Falling Asleep at the Wheel” and “The Walls Are Way Too Thin,” has officially announced her debut album, “Paint My Bedroom Black,” out Oct. 13 via Darkroom, Geffen and Polydor Records. This week, the British-born artist also unveiled the album’s first two singles, the stirring breakup ballad “Antichrist” and acoustic guitar-driven love song “Room Service.” Humberstone will perform the album for the first time in the U.S. at Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatre on Aug. 11, and she’ll also appear at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Osheaga Music and Arts Festival this summer. “This album is an exploration of the two sides of myself that coexist,” Humberstone said in a statement. “One side, the introvert who wants to board the windows up and shut the world out, writing about wanting to escape my surroundings and the confusion of life on the road last year. The other side of me, the extrovert, writing about a budding relationship, deep connections and love.”
