In January, Charlotte Cornfield announced her new record Hurts Like Hell. So far the Canadian singer-songwriter has released the title track and "Living With It" featuring Feist. Today, she's back with "Lost Leader" with Christian Lee Hutson.
"This is a hard song," Cornfield says. "But I also think it's a little bit funny. Tragicomic maybe? It's about a tormented frontman character whose personal demons and poor behavior are getting the best of him. The story is told in second person but there are two perspectives represented here: the struggling artist and the disappointed fan. Christian Lee Hutson sings the part of the ‘lost leader,’ and though he only has a few lines he delivers the hell out of them."
Last month, Hutson married fellow singer-songwriter Maya Hawke, best known for her role in Stranger Things. He co-wrote and recorded her just-announced album Maitreya Corso, which arrives in May.

Hurts Like Hell is out 3/27 on Merge.
