Contemporary pop/country breakup song with a contagious melody, feisty vocal and spiralling guitars.

The Last Minute

Twisted

Modern ethereal piano and strings based track, mid tempo, with encouraging yet slightly haunting lyrics.  An unusual arrangement featuring Helen's powerful lead vocals interspersed with Judie Tzuke's soft refrains.

REVIEW by Sarah Pema

You’ve Come Home is a piano-based pop ballad that marks the start of a healing process. We are introduced to Helen’s angelic voice as the source of wisdom and comfort. The song continues her EP’s (The Last Minute) plea for authenticity, openness, sharing and honesty, and for accepting who we are and how we feel within the safety of loving, comforting arms. And therein lies our freedom and healing: We just need to come home. Musically, it’s a wonderful fusion of different influences and techniques. There are quiet, tender, reflective moments in the music with just a piano. There is also the use of a solo bell that rings out profoundly just once and prompts us to pause for thought and breathe before the use of synthesized sounds oscillate wildly in the background like the torrent nature of a clinging, distressed mind haunted and flooded by bad memories. Around the softly sung “You got to be free” are backing vocals that introduce a gospel quality appropriate for a message that could be absorbed as quite spiritual in nature. “Don’t you worry, you’ve come home” finishes on a deep, lengthy somber note that leaves it up to the listener to decide where that place is. It’s exquisitely put together.

You've Come Home

Chilled, laid back soulful pop with a positive and uplifting lyric.

Always By Your Side

The title track from Helen's 2018 EP, Last Minute is an infectious country/pop track, with a shuffling back beat and an angsty lyric.  This version is the radio edit, with the shortened instrumental break.
