(Picture: Maxime Imbert)Holly Humberstone hated London when she first moved here. Her breakout song, ‘The Walls are Way too Thin’, was inspired by her first house share in Deptford where she moved in 2019 with a friend of a friend and some strangers she met online. ‘The house is full but I’m all alone,’ she sings. Millions could relate. Her new single continues the theme. It’s called ‘London is Lonely’. ‘Kind of feel like I’m living in the Upside Down,’ she sings, as electric pianos pulse moodily beneath her.
Speaking to the 22-year-old now, it’s clear that our great metropolis hasn’t won her heart just yet. ‘It’s completely bizarre to me,’ she says. ‘Like, even walking down the street is a whole sensory overload experience.’
