December 10th, 2021 (Los Angeles, CA) - Following in the footsteps of some of the UK’s most iconic artists ever, breakout singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone has officially won the 2022 Brit Awards’ Rising Star prize. Awarded to the most promising emerging acts in UK music, the prestigious honor serves as an exclamation point on an already-colossal year for the 21-year-old, and cements her status as one of the most exciting new talents in the world. On the heels of captivating thousands of fans across the US and UK on her recent debut headline tour, including back-to-back SOLD-OUT nights at both The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles and Bowery Ballroom in New York City, the Ivor Novello-nominated artist released her sophomore EP The Walls Are Way Too Thin [Darkroom/Interscope/Polydor Records] this autumn to widespread acclaim:

“A new star emerges” - LA Times

"Humberstone has a lovely and versatile voice and a remarkably effortless way with a melody.” - Variety

"The Walls Are Way Too Thin EP provides proof positive that Humberstone is perhaps the brightest Gen Z singer/songwriter to emerge from the U.K. in quite some time." - Under The Radar

"Holly Humberstone is using vulnerable songwriting to carve her 
own path to pop stardom” - UPROXX

"The Walls Are Way Too Thin is marked by instantly arresting melodies” - Billboard

"With this new EP, she’s evolved her sound further..she again demonstrates a knack for the superb fuck-you turns of phrase that make her music so memorable.” AV Club 

"The Latest ‘It’ Brit Songwriter to Know...Holly Humberstone proves she's worth the hype." - WWD

“A rising artist who is taking the music scene by a storm." - Euphoria Magazine

Humberstone’s selection as this year’s Brit Rising Star follows yet another monumental announcement for the young artist this past week, as she was recently revealed as a special supporting guest for an upcoming leg of Olivia Rodrigo’s highly anticipated 2022 “SOUR Tour.” The tour dates are set to kick off right after Humberstone’s debut full-length US tour supporting girl in red next spring. Tickets for Humberstone’s shows with Rodrigo are on-sale today, December 10th, at 10AM local time, and a complete list of tour dates can be found below or via her website here.
