Twisted
Passionate. Bittersweet. Melancholy. Haunting. Just some of the words which have been used to describe Helen Jayne McKellar’s second single ‘Twisted’, taken from her EP 'The Last Minute', and released on August 12th 2019! Written by Helen, and expertly mastered by Pete Maher (U2, Katy Perry, Annie Lennox), this mid-tempo semi acoustic break-up song has feisty vocals set against a backdrop of spiralling guitars.

Featuring Judie Tzuke and her daughter Bailey on backing vocals, Sam Tanner on keyboards, Richard Brook on drums and Pat Davey on Bass, ‘Twisted’ was produced by James Welch who also played guitars. It is available from all the major digital music online retailers.
