Holly Humberstone by Constantine Spence
Holly Humberstone will release it on March 15th.
New songs Work In Progress, Down Swinging, Easy Tiger and Dive – which is streaming online now – have been collected by Holly Humberstone on an EP titled after another of those, Work In Progress.
“Every song starts as a work in progress,” she’s said. “Some stay as demos and ideas, others find new life with more production. But these songs were demos I couldn’t leave behind.”
I went back through the archives and discovered these lost older versions of myself mixed up with the present version of me. I wanted to release them this year – as I start touring again and since the release of my debut album – as a work in progress for my fans. I’m very much a work in progress, and I think this body of work feels impulsive and more like a stream of consciousness to me. Dive is the first song I’m dropping today.
“I wrote it a few years ago as a kind of warning to a guy to not get involved with me. I was worried I’d hurt him. Whenever I think about the highs and lows of past and present relationships, it reminds me that life will always be evolving and changing in ways that I can’t predict, and I think that’s OK!”
