Holly Humberstone announces a new compilation EP with a fresh single, Can You Afford to Lose Me?
Holly Humberstone’s new release, Can You Afford to Lose me?, haunts listeners with a
plaintive combination of desperately breathy vocals and brutally poetic lyrics. The 22-year-
old, bedroom-indie, singer-songwriter dares to dance upon the razor-thin line between love
and hatred, pleasure and pain, tenderness and cruelty. The song painfully wrestles with
unanswered questions regarding modern-love and heartbreak, reaffirming Humberstone’s
place within the sad-girl genre. The track perfectly encapsulates the frantic, final pleas that
are made following the realisation that a relationship is reaching its conclusion and is a
testament to Humberstone’s delicate vocal talent. Holly Humberstone remains a perfect
listen for lovers of Clairo, Lizzy McAlpine, Lucy Dacus and Mitski. Can you Afford to Lose
me? is the titular track in Humberstone’s newest EP, in which she compiles and
demonstrates her powerful musical journey to date.
