Charlotte Cornfield has signed to Merge Records, the Toronto singer-songwriter announced on Tuesday, January 13. Hurts Like Hell, her sixth album and first on the label, arrives March 27. Check out the artwork and Scott Jacobson-directed video for the title track—which features vocals by Big Thief’s Buck Meek—below.
In addition to Meek, Cornfield recruited Feist, Christian Lee Hutson, and Maia Friedman to sing backup across the follow-up to her 2023 alt-folk project Could Have Done Anything. Hurts Like Hell was produced by Phillip Weinrobe.
In 2025, Secretly Group—the group behind Dead Oceans, Jagjaguwar, Saddest Factory, and Secretly Canadian—acquired a 50 percent stake in Merge.
