Buy the New CD, Monochrome In Technicolor, at CD Baby:


The Music:

Helen is a singer and songwriter who's songs detail wide-ranging life situations both on a personal and universal level. Her lyrics often take the listener on intricate trips through the darkest crevices of the soul, pulled through the other side by, if not complete hope, than vital understanding. These journeys are accompanied by a predominantly electronic, yet varied musical pallete, pulled from her upbringing in the San Francisco Bay Area: East Bay soul, British Punk and New Wave, South Bay rock and North Bay folk all figure in the tasty, provocative stew that forms her music.

Album Release:

Helen has just finished her new CD, Monochrome In Technicolor, which will be made available for sale on most online retailers within the first two weeks of April, 2008. You can preview most of the tracks either here on her myspace page or by clicking the "Soundclick" playlist. Her previous songs have already reached the top of the charts on numerous music websites. Helen Sventitsky is currently working with A&R Select, an independent A&R firm based in Hollywood, California. A&R Select is representing the artists work for possible record deals; film, television and video game scores; and publishing deals.

Helen currently appears on the following compilation, now available on Itunes:
