SPELLLING teams with Turnstile's Brendan Yates for new version of "Portrait of My Heart"
"SPELLLING's (aka Chrystia Cabral) great 2025 album Portrait of My Heart included "Alibi," a collaboration with Turnstile guitarist Pat McCrory, and now she has released a new version of the title track that features guest vocals from Turnstile vocalist Brendan Yates. "I was really happy to discover that Brendan was into SPELLLING when I saw him speaking about The Turning Wheel being his album of the year on NPR's 'faves on faves,'" Chrystia says."
""It's the most fun and affirming aspect of making music for me, finding out my favorite artists are also attuned to what I'm making. Turnstile brought me out to play some shows with them in 2022 and during a soundcheck I heard Brendan playfully singing 'I hate the boys at school'. That planted the seed in my mind that a collaboration would work really well. Having him sing on this 'Portrait of my Heart' remix was such a cool way to capture our radically different but mutually appreciated musical expressions.""
SPELLLING's 2025 album Portrait of My Heart included the track Alibi, a collaboration with Turnstile guitarist Pat McCrory. A new remix of the album's title track features guest vocals from Turnstile vocalist Brendan Yates. Brendan previously praised The Turning Wheel on NPR, creating mutual appreciation between the artists. Turnstile invited SPELLLING to perform on shows in 2022, and a soundcheck moment inspired the collaboration. Brendan's vocals bring a distinct, energetic flair to the remix. SPELLLING also released a new version of Destiny Arrives that features Weyes Blood.
