Independent Americana artist Helen Townsend is thrilled to announce the release of her long awaited debut album Little Lover, available from 23rd August 2019.

Little Lover is a departure from her multi-award nominated 2014 EP “Wayward Heart” to a more edgier, rockier and more diverse sound for the singer songwriter. The album features twelve of her original compositions, including promised land co-written with Bill Chambers which was nominated for WAM 2017 Song of the Year.

“Upward Now”, from the new Album, was inspired by “the feeling that no matter how bad things are, you know that if you hang in there, you will always end up ok”. Drawn from her Americana roots, its an upbeat, toe tapping, feel good song that has audiences singing along from the 2nd chorus.

Helen is a prolific songwriter, influenced heavily by her roots, her life’s journey and her unique observations on life. “Little Lover” showcases her songwriting and storytelling prowess and is a perfect example of the Americana genre.

Helen said.“Belle Harvey, James Newhouse and James Vinciullo co-produced the album, assisting me to find the right players for the sound I was looking for with the aim of shifting to an edgier outcome with a varied groove, dynamic and sentiment in each track, “Helen said.“Working with Lee Jones (The Sleepy Jackson, Eskimo Joe, Ruby Boots), who’s ability to find hooks and instrumentals that have personality to make a track come alive, adds so much to all the tunes!”
