Song Shuffle with Holly Humberstone: A Musical Journey Through Backstage at Gov Ball
Backstage at Gov Ball in New York City, Holly Humberstone participated in Rolling Stone's Song Shuffle series. She shuffled songs on her phone, sharing her thoughts on each track that came up. The first song was "Everyone's a Winner" by Flyte, a band she considers underrated. Next was "Change" by Big Thief, an artist she admires as a potential legend of our generation. She then discussed Tom Petty's "Wildflowers," a song she finds perfect for touring with friends. Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic" was another favorite, evoking a coming-of-age movie vibe. Lastly, she shared her love for "Working it Out" by ML Buch, describing it as a dreamy, summer-y song that feels like a hug.
Humberstone is currently on a busy tour schedule supporting her new album, Cruel World, with shows across North America and Europe. She wrote the album with live performances in mind, cherishing the connection with her band and the audience. Music, for her, is about connecting with people and sharing a human experience.
