Newcastle-based indie sensation Heidi Curtis shares, 'What Am I Missing?' taken from her debut EP, Hollow Heart - out next Friday (May 29).
Heralding the latest stage in her development, ‘What Am I Missing?’ showcases the enigmatic musician’s powerhouse vocals and authentic songwriting in full flow; her classic rock, indie and folk sensibilities see her weave a sonic tapestry that has clearly resonated across the airwaves, with support on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music, capped off with a newly-announced slot at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend this May.
Detailing her third release, Curtis stated: “‘What Am I Missing?’ came from a place of deep frustration and burn out. I was putting my all into writing and felt like every road was a dead end, everything felt misaligned and I wanted to get to the centre of what I was feeling but I didn’t know how. In a moment of rage and honesty this song was birthed and with it the answers to what I had been missing all along. It’s the song that I believe gave my sonic identity some clarity and gave me a direction to follow. This song is my own personal reminder that in order to know who you are, you have to have felt lost at some point.”

Curtis’ formidable rise continues to gather serious momentum, having earned a spot in the NME 100 of 2026 and has been announced to support Lewis Capaldi and Self Esteem in the summer months, as well as making her debut appearance at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton last week. The Geordie newcomer’s live prowess is developing at an impressive rate, having already supported contemporaries such as Sam Fender, CMAT, Inhaler, Paolo Nutini and Ben Howard across the UK and Europe.
Inspired by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush, Jeff Buckley and Florence & The Machine, news of Curtis’ debut EP arrives off the back of a hugely impressive 3-4 month period, which has seen debut single ‘Undone’ and its follow-up ‘Siren’ gather monumental praise throughout the press landscape, with plaudits arriving from the likes of NME Magazine, DIY Magazine, Rolling Stone UK, Dork Magazine, The Line Of Best Fit and Wonderland.
