Holly Wilks

HOT VOX showcases some of the freshest emerging artists breaking through onto the scene, but in an industry saturated with new music, how can you cut through the noise?

To separate the best from the rest, we have cherry picked one of our favourite new acts and are pleased to have them as our Artist Of The Day.

Today’s Featured Artist Of The Day is Holly Wilks.

From a pop vantage, 20-something West Londoner Holly Wilks’ music grapples with the inevitability of death; what it means to be a woman; how to exist in a body. Amid widescreen indie melodies and smoky, ageless vocals, it’s her lyrics that are the real draw: like obsessive thought patterns, they tumble and fizz, occupying instrumental spaces other songwriters wouldn’t dare to fill, rhyming when least expected. The result is Gen Z pop of the most intimate, literate kind, treading in snow-prints left by Phoebe Bridgers and Lizzy McAlpine, but carving a path to the listener’s heart that’s loopier, and all her own.
