HOLLY HEBE KICKS OFF 2021 WITH THE RELEASE OF HER NEW SINGLE ‘NOTHING HURTS I PROMISE’ + A SINGLE LAUNCH SHOW
Following a stellar 2020, Holly Hebe returns with the release of her third single, ‘nothing hurts I promise’ plus a single launch show at Bar Open. Succeeding past releases ‘sink’ and ‘we are fine’, ‘nothing hurts I promise’ showcases undeniable vulnerability from the budding singer-songwriter, creating an emotionally charged track, laced with bittersweet lyricism, detailing the notions and agony of a slow-burn romance.
Releasing on the 16th of April, ‘nothing hurts I promise’ exudes passion and skill, reflecting growth in Holly’s musical prowess. Brimming with Holly’s staple environmental soundscaping and emotive storytelling, the track opens with a gentle piano, recorded in her backyard, truly immersing you into the world of Holly Hebe. Then enters the vocals, soft and delicate, reflecting the fragile nature of the song's meaning; the fear of telling someone how you truly feel. With the addition of distorted vocal layering, Holly has created almost what feels like a ballad of two people’s hidden yearning, however, they cannot pluck up the strength to tell the other how they feel. Ending the track with a choral “nothing hurts like these unsaid words”, this track means a great deal to the Mornington Peninsula artist, with her explaining:
“This song is super personal & makes me feel extremely bittersweet-- I love how I can process thoughts and feelings through my music & this song has definitely helped me to do that.”
Holly’s singles ‘sink’ and ‘we are fine’ have made waves for the independent artist, accumulating over 25,000 streams on Spotify since their 2020 release. This has been backed by premieres on Triple J Unearthed Radio, as well as raving four-star reviews from both Triple J Unearthed own, Dave Ruby Howe and Abby Butler. With recently supporting Triple J High Finalist Tulliah at her sold-out Corner Hotel show and headlining the sold-out La La Local // Boxing Day Fundraiser at the Workers Club, Holly has flourished into a well-rounded musician, captivating audiences with her smooth vocals and immersive kazoo solos.
On the eve of its release, Holly will be holding a single launch show at Bar Open on the 15th of April in celebration. Transforming the venue into a swell of harmonies, saxophone and kazoo solos, Holly Hebe is an act to keep on your radar.
