Returning earlier this year with new singles ‘Swimsuit’ and ‘Birthmark’, rising singer-songwriter Holly Hebe has announced her forthcoming EP, Mood Ring, is dropping Friday 17 July.

The seven-track release is an intimate exploration of loss, love, superstition, nostalgia and the emotional chaos of growing up in the modern world.

Influenced by her own experiences, Mood Ring captures 12 months in Hebe’s life, combining deeply personal and vulnerable lyrics with modern indie pop sounds.

Mood Ring is a collection of songs about clinging onto signs, being desperately hopeful and aimlessly sad, superstition and heartbreak,” Holly shares.

“Every song has a colour paired with it & eventually they all morphed into one giant emotional pinwheel for me that documents the last year of my life.”

A coming-of-age record shaped by heartbreak, nostalgia and reflection, press material describes Mood Ring as “an honest snapshot of emotional growing pains.”
