Today sees Holly Humberstone return with her brand-new single To Love Somebody. Taken from her highly anticipated second album Cruel World, to be released on 10 April 2026, inspired by Victorian theatre, Brothers Grimm and Nosferatu the track's towering pop sensibilities offer a tantalising glimpse of what lies ahead in this bold new chapter. “The record explores love as beautiful and inherently painful,” she says. “In To Love Somebody I wanted to capture that contradiction: to love somebody, is to hurt somebody and to lose somebody, well at least you got to love somebody. In order to feel extreme happiness, you have to know extreme sadness. That’s the tension of the record”. Take a listen below.
