With her most recent single ‘Die Happy‘, Holly Humberstone closed 2025 by teasing an exciting new era. It truly felt like she was tapping in to something special, and it left me eager for more. Thankfully Holly hasn’t left us waiting for long, as her latest release ‘To Love Somebody’ is quick to build on the rapidly growing hype and anticipation for her sophomore album Cruel World (out 10th April). Inspired by the age old wisdom that “it’s better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all“, ‘To Love Somebody’ is a reflection on accepting the bad with the good. How heartbreak is as much an essential human experience as falling in love is. How knowing that kind of pain and sadness gives a better frame of reference, and a greater appreciation for, all the joy and happiness in our lives. The track is home to some stunning synth work, a wonderfully expressive rhythm section, and an addictive call and response pre-chorus. Best of all though is the incredible music video, drawing inspiration from Nosferatu and classic Hammer horror, which perfectly captures the enchanting gothic romanticism of this new era.
