For Holly Humberstone, recording her Apple Music Home Session felt like a step back in time. “I’m really not a technical person so my home set-up has to be pretty basic,” she says. “I just plug a mic into my laptop and press record. But I like it, because it’s exactly how I used to record all my songs when I was younger.” That feeling was only bolstered by where this session—part of the series where we ask some of our favourite artists to set up at home and re-interpret their, and other people’s, signature tracks—was recorded: in Humberstone’s Lincolnshire family home. It’s the place that has, above anywhere else, shaped and inspired the stunning confessional pop that’s made the singer-songwriter one of music’s fastest-rising talents. “These tracks were all recorded in the same room in my house, in my little creative spot, that I’ve made music in since I was teeny,” she says. “The house has changed a lot since then and it’s now slowly falling apart, so it has a pretty wonky feeling quality about it.” The result is an atmospheric session housing the Lorde-like “Falling Asleep at the Wheel” and the whispered “Livewire”—on which Humberstone contemplates drifting away from childhood friends—as well as a stirring cover of Bon Iver’s “22 (Over Soon)”. “A lot of my songs were written first on guitar or piano and then produced,” adds the singer. “So it’s pretty cool that I get this chance to put songs out there in their original and simplest format, and for people hear the bare bones of the songs.” Dive in for an intimate session from an artist on the cusp of superstardom.
