Holly Humberstone has announced her highly anticipated second album Cruel World, to be released on 10 April 2026. One of the defining voices of her generation will return with a record that explores the delicate tension between pain and pleasure, where chaos and acceptance coexist.

Renowned for her meticulous songwriting, nominated for an Ivor Novello for her debut EP and awarded the BRIT Rising Star in 2022, Holly has grown into a global force, with storytelling that resonates far beyond her own experiences.

On Cruel World, Holly steps into a dark fairytale of her own creation, where childhood relics, monsters, and memory collide. Today, she offers a glimpse through the looking glass with the soaring new single “To Love Somebody,”accompanied by an enchanting video directed by Silken Weinberg (Ethel Cain).
