Humberstone sings verses full of pain and nostalgia, her soul swelling with words unsaid and feelings that need releasing: I wanna fix you, honey I wanna keep you closer But with all of my toxicity You get a little too much exposure I’ll be the first to admit I kind of fucked this darling Didn’t I? Did I use your body? Did I leave you broken? You know it didn’t take much to break your trust The dice was loaded So, come on, give me hell ‘Cause heaven knows I deserve it It chills my bones to know you’re suffering The single’s A-Side is a visceral, soul-stirring upheaval: Slow, brooding, and altogether gut-wrenching, “Antichrist” aches with yearning and regret as Humberstone bears a breakup’s heavy weight, her emotions spilling out in a breathtakingly beautiful performance that captures the fragility of a bruised, broken heart – even if it’s not necessarily our own. Released Jvia Polydor / Darkroom / Geffen Records, “Antichrist” and “Room Service” feel like two halves of a whole: One moody and electric, the other tender and acoustic, both undeniably Humberstonian thanks to their raw, candid, and cathartic deliveries. Antichrist – Holly Humberstone Am I the Antichrist? How do I sleep at night?

It’s finally happening! British singer/songwriter (and longtime Atwood Magazine artist-to-watch!) Holly Humberstone has finally announced her long-awaited, heavily-anticipated debut album Paint My Bedroom Black, the culmination of three whirlwind years that saw the Grantham native rise out of obscurity to clinch the coveted Brit Award for Rising Star – the same recognition that helped kick off the careers of Adele, Florence and the Machine, Emeli Sandé, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith, James Bay, and countless others.
