After
singing on the Mercury Prize-winning & platinum-selling album ‘The Seldom
Seen Kid’ with Elbow, Salford-based Louise teamed up with the successful
"Art & Soul" band DC
Fontana from 2012 to 2013, and enjoyed a busy action packed year gigging around
the country and receiving fantastic reviews for the bands EP "Pentagram
Man".
She
already enjoys a successful career as an in-demand session singer & with a
string of collaborations & guest appearances on tunes featuring Primal
Scream’s Denise Johnson, Manc poet & song-writer Edward Barton, indie
outfit Bluebird Kid Clark and a regular guest with The Electric Stars
organising/singing harmony parts and also conducting and arranging a choir on
their highly received album "Sonic Candy Soul"...
This
Salford chanteuse is now ready to step out on her own with her debut release on
Detour Records! This 6 track EP showcases the many sides of TURNER, all part of
her vintage charm, one minute classic Dusty, the next epic Scott Walker style
ballads & just for good measure a track that could easily fit into all of
the great Bond films.
The very
talented 'Derek D'Souza' who recently released his book "In The
Crowd-Images of the Jam" which peaked at number 1 in the Amazon charts &
has received Rave reviews worked on Turner's front cover.
Showcase
gigs are set for up and down the country.... So watch this space...

Reviews
"‘Turner’
is one to watch out for in 2013" - LOUDER THAN WAR
"With
her platinum bob, panda kohl eyes and expressive voice...Part Dusty/ part
Debbie Harry, she's very adaptable to many styles and sounds" - NO OTHER
PRESS
"This
is Turner ! And Ladies & Gentlemen, we should be glad. For here is an
artist who is far more than a singer/songwriter. Turner is an Icon in waiting.
She is totally out of step with the mass produced, unit shifting, pop of today,
and that Music lovers is a good thing! Turner's songs are dripping in melody
& emotion. Lyrically she can be both disturbing & mysterious, without
ever losing her knack for a killer hook. Her 2013 take on bohemian suss, make
her the perfect antidote to the TV conveyer belt of shame!" - TONY SALT
(Manchester Underground Scene)
"Oozing
a contemporary freshness in her pristine and melancholic music. With her
spacious and unravelling catalogue of sounds along with her good looks and
vintage charm Turner's career is on the up! Hailing her as one of Salford’s
rising new stars. - THE MANC REVIEW
"If
ever there was a voice that transcended the world, it would be that of
Turner" -
ROCK'ROLL
IN MY SOUL
"Physically,
she’s a France Gall throw-back; she can also strike an Anna Karina-esque
ethereal pose. And like that were not enough, she still appears to possess the
charm and sense of irony belonging to another fave 60s icon of mine: Françoise
Hardy. Louise lets her music do the talking. The rest is par for the course;
her eyes never say: ‘Look at me!’ She’s unable to take that side of things too
seriously… All part of her “vintage charm”..." - CHRIS ROSE
