HELEN TOWNSEND enthrals with evocative new single ‘Battlefield’


Walyalup / Perth, renowned Americana artist, Helen Townsend, is set to enthral music enthusiasts with her latest single, ‘Battlefield,’ the second release from her highly anticipated forthcoming album. Following in the footsteps of ‘Is This Love,’ a track praised as “irresistible honky-tonk blues” by an anonymous critic, ‘Battlefield’ showcases a completely distinct musical proposition.
With a commitment to exploring the spectrum of mortal love, Townsend embarks on a journey of highs and lows in her upcoming collection of songs. If ‘Is This Love’ represents the high point of this emotional journey, ‘Battlefield’ delves into the tumultuous cobblestones of despair that often pave the way to the transcendence of unconditional love.
In ‘Battlefield,’ Townsend’s evocative lyrics, “Words are like poison / Sharp and unkind,” extend her ability to bare her soul and create a universal connection through her personal experiences. This candid self-expression is a driving force for musicians, and Townsend excels in making her personal life and words resonate with all of us.
The single ‘Battlefield’ delivers a slow and restrained melody, with Townsend’s passion and intensity simmering just below the surface. Her unique voice, rooted in Nashville and spanning the Pacific, is accentuated by the instrumentation. Townsend pays homage to the legacy of country-rock artists who preceded her, yet her songs remain uniquely her own.
‘Battlefield’ promises to be a slow-burning sensation that offers a delicately nuanced counterpoint to ‘Is This Love.’ Listeners are encouraged to savour this musical masterpiece before Townsend’s next release, allowing ‘Battlefield’ to become a timeless accompaniment to their own peaks and troughs of true romance.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience ‘Battlefield’ and join us in celebrating Helen Townsend’s outstanding contribution to the world of Americana music.

Kingdom Kome x RUEN see the “Cracks In The Foundation”

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.
Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”
Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.
Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
