British award-winning singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone has unveiled her enchanting new single ‘Dive‘ from her upcoming EP ‘Work In Progress‘, the follow-up to her top 5 debut album ‘Paint My Bedroom Black‘ which landed late last year. Premiered to fans on her Discord community, the single weaves a cautionary tale of falling in love, filled with images of the ocean and pouring rain. Co-produced by Rob Milton and Benjamin Francis Leftwich, it also features a surprise sample from the hit U.S. TV show Real Housewives.
The indie fusionist shared her excitement on Instagram about how the four-track project came to be, and how it contains ‘lost, older versions‘ of herself, commenting: “I recently went back through my archives and rediscovered these demos and felt that I wanted to release them as a project without overthinking too much. This EP is lost older versions of myself mixed up with the present. I’m very much a work in progress and I just really wanted to share these tunes with you guys cos I still love them ! Cant wait for you to hear the rest in March.”

After a year cemented by collaborations with the likes of MUNA, d4vd and Del Water Gap, ‘Work In Progress’ will continue Humberstone’s streak of exciting features, including folk band Flyte’s Will Taylor and acclaimed producer Andrew Sarlo, known for his work with Big Thief, Dijon and Bon Iver. The remaining tracks on the EP are the title track, along with ‘Down Swinging‘ and ‘Easy Tiger‘.
Having already embarked on a mammoth 20-date UK and European tour with shows in Paris and Amsterdam under her belt, the London-based singer will be kicking things off in the UK leading up to the EP in Manchester on March 8, followed by a jampacked tour in Australia, Japan and a 17-date tour in North America this summer.
