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.

Suki Summer’s ‘LOVESICK AND SICK OF LOVE’ is a Cinematic Coming-of-Age Masterpiece

Indie-pop newcomer Suki Summer may be a fresh face, but her new EP, LOVESICK AND SICK OF LOVE, proves she’s got a veteran’s soul. Across six emotionally layered tracks, Suki unveils her most intimate and refined work yet—a sonic diary chronicling the highs and heartbreaks of modern love. With dreamy production and searing lyrics, this EP doesn’t just whisper its pain; it commands attention.
From the sugar-rush romance of “Summer Crush” to the tear-stained farewell in “outro (it’s nvr bye it’s jus c ya l8r),” Suki crafts a narrative that feels both personal and cinematic. Every track is a chapter in the emotional evolution of a young woman learning to love, lose, and find herself again. Her vocals shimmer with a quiet confidence, often drenched in nostalgia yet pulsing with clarity.
The title track, “LOVESICK AND SICK OF LOVE,” marks a pivotal moment in the EP—a bold declaration of emotional exhaustion with dating culture. “It’s about the burnout of constantly opening yourself up just to be misunderstood or ghosted,” Suki explains. The raw honesty hits hard, resonating with anyone who’s swiped, waited, and walked away empty.
What elevates Suki’s debut is her ability to balance soft melancholy with sharp insight. Fans of Clairo, Gracie Abrams, and Mazzy Star will feel right at home, yet Suki’s poetic edge and immersive production carve a new lane entirely. Each song feels like a vignette from a beautifully tragic indie film.
With LOVESICK AND SICK OF LOVE, Suki Summer doesn’t just join the indie-pop conversation—she shifts it. Vulnerable, nuanced, and breathtakingly real, this EP signals the arrival of a bold new voice ready to reshape the genre from the inside out.
