Today, 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.

PRAISE FOR CHARLOTTE CORNFIELD & COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING
“Cornfield is a sharp-eyed songwriter, who, like her contemporary Courtney Barnett, is particularly adept at both reinforcing and undercutting the emotional core of her narratives with quotidian detail and slacker silliness” —Rolling Stone, Artist You Need To Know
“Charlotte Cornfield always fills her lyrics with beautiful, evocative images” - Exclaim!
“Charlotte Cornfield is a songwriter who brings a sense of profundity to the simplest of phrases… ‘Could Have Done Anything’ is full of the remarkable tenderness and deft storytelling Cornfield is known for” — The FADER
"...a brief and lovely alt-folk record, vivid and unmoored from place and time…Cornfield’s words linger long after the record is over, thanks in part to her lovely and understated vocal delivery: a capacious alto, generously raspy, the influence of Lucinda Williams plain." — Pitchfork
“...her clearest-eyed assemblage of songs yet” — Paste
"The further you dig into the Canadian songwriter’s newest collection of sunset-folk, the more you realize how hard it is to sound this casual—and how much of a joy it is to see an artist continue to come into their own.” — FLOOD
“...a well-crafted set of bittersweet folk-pop combining acoustic and electric guitars and atmospheric keyboards with richly detailed lyrics of love, loss, friendship and heartache.” — KEXP
