London-based musician Charlie Turner is poised to captivate audiences with his upcoming release ‘Mrs Other’ a deeply introspective single that intertwines his eclectic influences of jazz, rock, and punk into a raw, reflective narrative. The track, a meditation on the nuances of growing older and grappling with post-university life, demonstrates Turner’s ability to blend profound emotional depth with musical sophistication.
“’Mrs Other’ came out of a challenging time for me,” Turner shares. “I was experiencing a post-university crisis and starting to come to terms with the idea of getting older for the first time. It started as a simple riff for a jam session but quickly evolved into something much bigger.” That riff, initially created to fuel improvisational grooves, became the backbone of a song that is as introspective as it is musically intricate.
Turner’s knack for melding aggressive, high-energy moments with reflective, mellow tones has made him one of the most exciting voices in the modern London jazz scene. His debut EP, Debut, released in the summer of 2024, showcased collaborations with standout artists like Basile Petite, Pyjæn, Conor Albert, and Zeñel. The EP garnered critical praise, building a loyal following that continues to grow with each release.
Turner’s live performances are no less compelling. Having graced stages at iconic London venues like CLF Art Lounge, Notting Hill Arts Club, Servant Jazz Quarters, and LUNA Lounge, he has solidified his reputation as a versatile and electrifying performer. Sharing bills with acts like Faker Villain, Leo Pesci, and Seb Bonner, Turner has proven himself as both a skilled collaborator and a commanding solo artist.
With ‘Mrs Other’, Turner continues to push the boundaries of his sound. The track’s fusion of jazz and punk elements serves as the perfect vehicle for Turner’s raw and emotive storytelling. Supported by a seasoned group of musicians, his live renditions of the song promise a dynamic experience, blending improvisation with tight, genre-defying arrangements.
Earlier in 2024, Turner’s second single, ‘HOIME’, was featured on BBC Introducing London, a nod to his growing presence on the UK music scene. With ‘Mrs Other’, he’s poised to expand his reach even further, captivating listeners with a sound that is uniquely his own.
As Turner prepares to release ‘Mrs Other’, his creative momentum shows no signs of slowing. With plans to release more singles throughout 2024 and 2025, and a longer-form EP in the works for later this year, Turner is steadfast in his mission to carve out a lasting space in the music world.
‘Mrs Other’ is more than just a song; it’s a reflection of Turner’s journey—both personal and artistic. With his deeply personal lyrics, eclectic influences, and fearless approach to music-making, Charlie Turner is an artist to watch closely as he continues to shape the sound of London’s vibrant music scene.
