Helen Love Reveal Title Track From Upcoming 10th Studio Album “This Is My World”

Welsh cult-icons Helen Love have announced that they will release their tenth studio album, This Is My World, on the 28th January 2022 via Alcopop! Records. To celebrate the news, the band have released a video for the title track and lead single that is now available on all good digital service providers. Their forthcoming tenth full-length follows on from the band’s ninth studio album, Power On, that was released mid-pandemic in 2020. Spending lockdown digging through her record collection and rediscovering her zest for the bands of her youth, with the punchy hits of Power On, Helen Love firmly reignited her passion for punk, and it showed loudly, proudly and snottily on each and every staccato, pogo-inducing hit.

“The album that I started recording on a misty wet February day earlier this year is not the record I was expecting to make when I finished it on a cherry blossom weekend in early April. The songs seemed to just fall out of the sky. The fuzz pedal stayed in its box, the amps were turned down, the synths made way for trumpets and a string section came out of the cupboard…whatever this record is, it’s honest.” (front woman Helen Love)

This Is My World sees the scales tip in the other direction, away from Love’s exploration of and enthusiasm for her youth, revealing a rare introspective and reflective side of her songwriting that looks towards the future and examines the inexorable march of time that eventually comes to all young punk rockers…even Sheena. “Getting older, life changes,” says Love philosophically. “Children grow up and leave home, loved ones pass away, friends move on. It’s easier to look back and harder to push forward…it’s not all Bubblegum punk rock disco around my house any more, but in truth, of course, it never was…”
