Holly Humberstone ignites a dark fairytale on the road to her next era with “Die Happy”

 Holly Humberstone, a British singer-songwriter, makes a big and moving comeback with her new song "Die Happy," which was played for the first time on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders. This song, her first release since the March EP "Work in Progress", shows that she is feeling more creative as she works on her second album.

"Die Happy," written by Humberstone with Nate Campany and Rob Milton, who also produced the song, goes deeper into her unique mix of atmospheric storytelling and raw honesty. The song is in a liminal space between fantasy and reality, and it is influenced by images from creepy fairy tales, nighttime journeys, and the shadows of broken buildings. It shows a reckless kind of love that looks at the line where love becomes both exciting and dangerous.

Silken Weinberg directed the accompanying visualiser, which adds to the mood in a way that fits with the song's strange unease. It adds depth to the song's emotional range by capturing the passion of falling in love, both its beauty and danger, and letting it take over your life.

After taking a break to grow, think, and reconnect with her artistic identity, Humberstone comes back with more clarity and purpose. The collaborative base she shares with Milton and Campany makes "Die Happy" a bold re-entry point, hinting at a new chapter that will be more fearless and expressive. Holly Humberstone not only re-establishes who she is, but she also opens up a darker, deeper narrative world that invites listeners to get lost in its charm.
