Scott Helman Creating Mural, Releasing Song About Climate Crisis

By Aaron Brophy

Toronto pop singer Scott Helman has created a wall mural installation and is releasing a song to raise awareness about the ongoing climate crisis.


The Bungalow and PDA singer launched the mural Nov. 21 in Toronto along with artist Kayla Buium (Milkbox). The painting will include messages of concern about the climate crisis collected from Helman supporters in recent weeks as part of the Evergreen Project.

"For the past few weeks, an anonymous form on my website has been collecting testimonies about the climate crisis," Helman said in a statement.

"We’ve received over 600 entries and have compiled them into a document entitled The Evergreen Manuscript."

Helman and Buium will illustrate these testimonies on the mural. Members of the public who attend to watch the creation of the mural will have the opportunity to add their own message.

Aaron Dessner Sets the Record Straight on Gracie Abrams’ ‘Death Wish’: It’s ‘Definitely Not’ About Taylor Swift

The producer also shared how he ended up performing with Noah Kahan over the weekend.

Aaron Dessner and Gracie Abrams have now made three albums together, with the pop star’s third studio effort, Daughter From Hell, arriving July 17. But one song in particular has stirred up a few misconceptions, and in a recent conversation with Billboard, the producer cleared them up.

Hopping on a Zoom call on Tuesday (July 21) — just days after joining Noah Kahan on stage in New York to perform one of The Great Divide songs he produced, a cameo that severe weather almost ruined — Dessner addressed confusion over the production and subject of “Death Wish,” one of the most talked-about tracks on Daughter From Hell. Some listeners have expressed surprise that the spritely album version sounds so different from the somber live piano version Abrams initially recorded and released amid her Secret of Us Tour, questioning why the duo would “change” the “original.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.)
