CHARLOTTE CORNFIELD ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE “AUDIENCE OF ONE”
COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING OUT NOW ON NEXT DOOR RECORDS
Charlotte Cornfield announces her new single, “Audience of One”. Produced by Bonny Light Horseman’s Josh Kaufman, the song is the latest page in Cornfield’s beloved and flourishing songbook, and arrives ahead of her upcoming fall tour which will see her traveling from Hamilton, down through Colorado to New Mexico, and back up the west coast towards Vancouver before returning to Ontario.
Once described as “Canada’s best-kept secret” by Rolling Stone, Cornfield’s critically lauded craft has long led an impassioned trail of discovery behind her, with an ever-expanding circle of fans and esteemed peers. Speaking to the deeper meaning behind her latest single, Cornfield shares the following:
“I’ve always been fascinated by the way that fear permeates my dreams. It meanders through vaguely recognizable surroundings, attaching itself to shadowy figures along the way. When I wrote this song I was picturing myself in one of those dream states, crashing an out of control vehicle and then performing to no one except a single ghost-like audience member. In the chorus I am reasoning with myself, trying to let go of the fear and worry that haunts me. I recorded ‘Audience of One’ with Josh Kaufman after we had finished making most of Could Have Done Anything. Annie Nero sang this stunning backing vocal, and it just felt like a song that needed to live on its own.”
“Audience of One” follows the release of Cornfield’s fifth album, 2023’s Could Have Done Anything – which the FADER praised as “full of the remarkable tenderness and deft storytelling,” and eloquently described by Pitchfork as being “a brief and lovely alt-folk record, vivid and unmoored from place and time.” Dates for Cornfield’s upcoming tour can be found below.
