SPELLLING has revealed a new version of “Ammunition,” one of many standout cuts from her 2025 LP Portrait of My Heart. Chrystia Cabral recruited Jean Dawson for the updated rendition that was co-produced by Psymun, and which follows new duet versions of the album’s title track featuring Turnstile’s Brendan Yates and “Destiny Arrives” featuring Weyes Blood.

Regarding the new version, Cabral said: “[This is] ‘Ammunition’ reimagined as the duet I always intended and heard it to be. We laced the original’s romantic R&B into a grittier, cathedral-of-synths version. A dark fairytale turned electric. Jean’s voice is a mirror to the song’s strange soul; our outsider hearts collide. I think Jean channels that same retro-soul weirdness I grew up on, and our chemistry makes the love story feel more urgent. We lean into being beautiful misfits searching for refuge.”
