Review
Holly Humberstone's 'Can You Afford To Lose Me?' is the kind of album that feels like a warm hug on a cold day. Released in 2022, this 11-track collection is a beautiful mix of familiar tunes and fresh material that really showcases Holly's growth as an artist. The title track is a real standout - it's the kind of song that makes you want to curl up with a cup of tea and just feel all the feelings.
You know, there's something so special about the way Holly writes. Her lyrics are like little snippets of diary entries, so raw and honest that you can't help but relate. And her voice? It's like butter, smooth and rich, carrying every emotion with such authenticity. The production is stripped back, which I love because it really lets Holly's songwriting shine through.
I'll admit, I was a bit bummed not to see some of my faves like 'Drop Dead' and 'Sleep Tight' on this album. But honestly? The songs that made the cut flow together so beautifully, it's hard to complain. Plus, knowing this is just a teaser for her full debut album? It's got me counting down the days! If you're into music that makes you feel things deep in your soul, 'Can You Afford To Lose Me?' is definitely worth a listen. - Jennifer
