Holly Humberstone – “Overkill” Vevo DSCVR performance
“‘Overkill’ is probably one of my favorite songs. I was going through at a really happy time towards the end of last year. Before this, I’d never really been one for relationships, they just weren’t something I was looking for. But I’d recently started seeing someone and I was excited about it all for the first time. I realized I was falling for this guy and just wanted to know if he felt the same way about me. Or if telling him how I felt was just going to freak him out and scare him away! I can be quite full-on. I wanted ‘Overkill’ to capture all the thrill and uncertainty and confusion and the many other emotions that come with falling for someone for the first time.” – Holly Humberstone

Holly Humberstone – “Overkill” music video
“The video for ‘Overkill’ was a pretty weird experience. Lockdown meant that we couldn’t shoot a professional video, so we had to improvise a little!! My sister, Eleri, and I took an old VHS camera out at dusk into a forest near our home and she had me follow her through the trees, as I played along to ‘Overkill’. It was basically my version of the 5k run except I had no idea where I was going and it was impossible to see anything and not to trip!” – Holly Humberstone
‘Overkill’ examines the intensity of a relationship in your youth. The likable tune contains a relatable narrative, ear-welcoming vocals, and tuneful melodies. Also, the likable tune possesses guitar-driven instrumentation scented with a strong alternative-pop aroma.
