SPELLLING (aka Chrystia Cabral) released her transformative album Portrait of My Heart last year. She now revisits the album’s title track, featuring Turnstile’s Brendan Yates. Their vocals intertwine in a part-duet, part-duel, transforming the song into a moody vocal showdown.
SPELLLING shares the following about collaborating with Yates:
“I was really happy to discover that Brendan was into SPELLLING when I saw him speaking about The Turning Wheel being his album of the year on NPR’s ‘faves on faves’. It’s the most fun and affirming aspect of making music for me, finding out my favorite artists are also attuned to what I’m making. Turnstile brought me out to play some shows with them in 2022 and during a soundcheck I heard Brendan playfully singing ‘I hate the boys at school’. That planted the seed in my mind that a collaboration would work really well. Having him sing on this ‘Portrait of my Heart’ remix was such a cool way to capture our radically different but mutually appreciated musical expressions.”
