Pop force Holly Humberstone has shared fragile new cut ‘Scarlett (Garden Version)’.
The songwriter is cresting a wave, with her second EP ‘The Walls Are Way Too Thin’ scorching a path across socials.
Recently packing out London venue O2 Forum Kentish Town, Holly then dug out her passport for shows on either side of the Atlantic. Now she’s ready to share something new, and more than a little revealing, too.
‘Scarlett (Garden Version)’ is online now, a fragile piece of music that illustrates Holly Humberstone at her most vulnerable. Blessed with an intoxicating vocal, it finds Holly re-casting her work, illuminating it with fresh light.
In a note, she comments…
“When I first started releasing music I wanted people to be able to see where I created the songs and where the stories had come from. My ‘Vanilla (Stairwell Version)’ was created, filmed and recorded on my stairwell at home; the place that inspired the first EP. As things progress it’s really important to me to keep allowing you into my world, so I’ve made a new version of Scarlett – my (garden version). This is a special corner of where I live now, a place I spend time with my sisters and friends. Considering this song is about my best friend it just made sense to me to be in this spot.
Touring my songs around the world this year has given them each a new life, and my love for them has grown in ways I couldn’t imagine. ‘Scarlett’ was written about my best friend and a boy who wasn’t treating her right. It crushed me to see her go through that shit, but it’s been so amazing to watch people around the world relate to this song and scream the lyrics while standing next to their best friends. I hope you love the garden version of my fave song to sing live right now.”
Tune in now.
