Somewhere In Between Unveil Soul-Soothing New Single “Lay Your Head On Me”

In a world moving too fast and feeling too much, Somewhere In Between—the Canadian-American indie folk duo of Deena Robertson and Austin Bisnow—return to offer a balm for the soul. Their latest single, “Lay Your Head On Me,” out today, is a tender, emotionally rich anthem that reminds us of the quiet power of love: a soft place to land in an increasingly chaotic world.

Marking the first release from their forthcoming sophomore album (title still under wraps), “Lay Your Head On Me” signals a striking evolution in the duo’s sound—emotive, cinematic, and unmistakably human. With echoes of Thom Yorke’s vulnerability, Tom Odell’s haunting elegance, and the intimate alchemy of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the track still grounds itself in the warm familiarity of indie folk trailblazers like The Lumineers, Bon Iver, and The Head and the Heart.

At its core, “Lay Your Head On Me” is more than a love song—it’s a promise. Early in their relationship, Deena and Austin made a vow: in the face of fear or pain, they would H.O.C.—Head On Chest. That simple, grounding gesture became a cornerstone of their partnership, and now, a mantra for others seeking connection amid the noise. The new single feels like a love letter to that sacred pause, an invitation to be gentle—with each other, and with ourselves.

Since their breakout debut Stories Untold, Somewhere In Between has amassed nearly 3 million global streams, played sold-out shows across the U.S., and cultivated a fiercely loyal international following. Their music—heartfelt and honest—has landed them in publications like Earmilk, Wonderland, and The Wild Is Calling Us, while earning placements on coveted Spotify playlists such as Fresh Folk and even a surprise spot on Norway’s Viral 50.

Outside the studio, the duo continues to live with the same intention that fuels their music. Deena, a yoga entrepreneur, and Austin, an acclaimed songwriter/producer (credits include John Legend and David Guetta), recently launched In Between Coffee, a thoughtful half-caff brand built around the pursuit of balance. Though not yet available in Europe, it reflects the duo’s ethos of living “somewhere in between”—not chasing extremes, but embracing the space where real life unfolds.

With “Lay Your Head On Me”, Somewhere In Between prove once again they’re not just making music—they’re creating moments of meaning. From heartbreak to healing, their songs speak to the raw, radiant humanity we all share.

This is more than an indie folk act to watch. This is music that holds you, right when you need it most.

Five-time GRAMMY Award-winning global icon Shania Twain has announced a major run of outdoor shows across the UK and Ireland for June 2027, including headlining State Fayre, the UK’s largest music and BBQ festival, on Saturday 19 June.

The eight-date run begins at Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre on 16 June, before Shania heads to Glasgow Summer Sessions at Bellahouston Park, State Fayre Festival in Chelmsford, Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields, Live at Powderham in Exeter, Dublin’s Marlay Park, Belsonic in Belfast and finally culminating at Oxfordshire’s Blenheim Palace Festival on 29 June.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 6 November at 9am.

The announcement follows the release of Little Miss Twain – The Places I’ll Go, the deluxe edition of Shania’s acclaimed seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain. Released this July, Little Miss Twain marked a significant and deeply personal chapter for Shania. After more than three decades as one of the most successful and influential artists in music, the global superstar turned back to the beginning, revisiting the experiences, sounds and memories that shaped her before the world knew her name.

Drawing from her childhood and teenage years growing up in Canada, the acclaimed album traces the roots of her singular sound across country, pop, rock, soul and bluegrass, offering a revealing portrait of the influences behind an artist who would go on to reshape the boundaries of country and pop music. The album also features an exceptional lineup of collaborators, including Tanya Tucker, T Bone Burnett, Ronnie Wood, Josh Homme, Ray Parker Jr., and Toto’s David Paich. With Little Miss Twain – The Places I’ll Go, Shania expands that story, offering an even deeper look at the formative experiences and musical influences behind both the artist and icon she would become.

Also recently released was the audiobook of Shania’s 2011 memoir, From This Moment On, now available with narration from Shania herself. The bestselling book traces her tumultuous rise to stardom and features a new foreword with personal reflections on her journey.

Shania’s influence remains as far-reaching as ever. In 2027, she will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Come On Over and the 25th anniversary of Up!, two era-defining albums that transformed country and pop music, broke barriers around the world and cemented her status as a global icon. With a huge run of live dates in 2027, and a biopic chronicling her life and career also in development, Shania continues to look ahead while celebrating the music and milestones that have defined her extraordinary career.
