A Journey Through Sound & Self

London-based musician Charlie Turner is poised to make waves with his latest single, ‘Mrs Other’, an emotionally charged track that dives deep into the complexities of growing older and finding one’s footing in a post-university world. This introspective piece blends Turner’s signature jazz, rock, and punk influences, delivering a raw yet intricate exploration of self-discovery. Turner’s knack for capturing universal emotions in an unconventional soundscape makes ‘Mrs Other’ a standout in his evolving discography.

The song originates from a simple riff Turner conceived during a jam session, born out of what he describes as a “post-university crisis.” That riff, initially just a tool for improvisation, grew into a fully realized piece layered with emotional depth and sonic experimentation. The lyrics add a deeply personal dimension to the track. With its brooding introspection and genre-blurring composition, ‘Mrs Other’ is a testament to Turner’s ability to turn personal reflection into universal resonance.

Turner’s debut EP, Debut, released in 2024, showcased his unique ability to marry aggressive and mellow tones, cementing his reputation as an artist unafraid to push boundaries. Collaborating with names like Pyjæn, Basile Petite, and Zeñel, Turner brought a fresh perspective to the London jazz scene. The EP was a critical success, lauded for its boldness and versatility, and ‘Mrs Other’ promises to build on this foundation.

In live settings, Turner is a force to be reckoned with. His performances at iconic London venues like Notting Hill Arts Club and CLF Art Lounge have become a must-see for jazz aficionados and casual listeners alike. Backed by an ensemble of skilled musicians, his live sets are electrifying, unpredictable, and always captivating. Sharing stages with artists like Faker Villain and Leo Pesci, Turner continues to refine his craft as a dynamic performer.

As he looks ahead to 2025, Turner is already laying the groundwork for more releases, with plans for a longer EP. ‘Mrs Other’ is not just a song—it’s a glimpse into Turner’s evolving artistry, where raw emotion meets genre-defying innovation. Keep an ear out; Charlie Turner is only getting started.
