JUNO Award-nominated singer-songwriter Scott Helman is proud to announce the release of his new album, "Augusta 10," now available across all digital music platforms. Mirroring the original release date of his debut album "Augusta" a decade ago, this reimagined collection features newly recorded versions of tracks from the original album, blending their youthful spirit with a modern folk-soul sound. Helman produced the album alongside longtime collaborator Callum Maudsley, who toured as a member of Helman’s band during the original "Augusta" release cycle. The album was recorded in Helman's home studio in Los Angeles.
"I never thought re-recording this album would feel the way it did," said Helman. "Going back to these incredibly impactful moments and reliving them was one thing, but taking stock of what it all meant and making it into something new was really another. I think gratitude is best felt when you can strip away all the noise and truly reflect on why something meant what it did to you. 'Augusta' changed my life, and I’m so glad it’s changing it again, in its own magical way."
The album release marks an exciting new phase of Helman’s career with the launch of his own independent label, Fo Fum Records, in partnership with L.A.-based Regime Music Group. This venture allows Helman full ownership of his music and complete creative freedom. In a heartfelt announcement shared on social media, Helman reflected on this milestone with the words, "Is this how it was supposed to happen?" signaling a fresh start.

Accompanying the album release is a new music video for "Bungalow," co-directed by Helman and Ben Knechtel (Carly Rae Jepsen, Marianas Trench). The song was the first single from the original "Augusta" album and catapulted Helman's rise within the music scene. "Bungalow" became a Top 10 radio single in Canada, charted on Billboard’s Canadian Hot 100, and achieved platinum sales status.
