Brighton’s rising pop superstar Libby Whitehouse is shaking up the music scene with her newest single, “Something”. Inspired by the pop stars who came before her such as Katy Perry and Elton John, Whitehouse blends witty, honest lyricism with a voice that could challenge the stars of the early 2000s to inspire an audience of Gen Z listeners and beyond.
Whitehouse has experienced notable successes early in her career. With a loyal community of 100,000 followers online, she has received plays on BBC Radio 1, and has worked with brands including PUMA and Sprite.
Even with her successes, Whitehouse has goals that go beyond the surface. About the intentions behind her music, Whitehouse said:
“I want my music to be a safe space for people to celebrate life and to express themselves; to celebrate who you love, including yourself, dress how you want to dress, and to be unapologetically…you. It’s also important to me that I encourage my fans to stand up for themselves and to do what makes them happy, no matter what anyone else thinks.”
Whitehouse said her new single “Something” is written for those who feel the pressure to have everything figured out for themselves. She added:
“Being a girl in your early twenties feels like the best and worst thing ever, but we’re all trying our best and without realizing it, we all go through the same things. This song is to let you know that it’s ok to feel 100 things at once when trying to be ‘something’. Make sure you scream it with your friends, it helps!!!!”
