Charlie Turner Prepares to Drop Transformative New Single ‘Mrs Other’
Charlie Turner, one of London’s most compelling emerging artists, is gearing up to release his new single ‘Mrs Other’, a track that highlights his talent for blending genres and exploring deeply personal themes. The song reflects Turner’s journey through a post-university crisis, capturing the nuances of aging and self-discovery through his unique mix of jazz, rock, and punk influences.
Written during a time of personal upheaval, ‘Mrs Other’ began as a simple jam-session riff. Over time, it evolved into a fully realized track that combines a raw, introspective narrative with Turner’s signature musical complexity, offering listeners a deeply relatable experience through his candid lyrics and innovative sound.
Turner’s debut EP, Debut, released in 2024, marked his entrance into the modern London jazz scene with critical acclaim. Featuring collaborations with prominent artists like Pyjæn and Zeñel, the EP showcased Turner’s ability to navigate the spaces between aggression and reflection. It quickly earned him a loyal following and positioned him as a voice to watch in the music world.
Turner’s live performances are equally captivating. From Notting Hill Arts Club to LUNA Lounge, he’s played alongside a host of talented artists, building a reputation for electrifying, genre-blending shows. His previous single, ‘HOIME’, gained attention through BBC Introducing London, significantly expanding his reach.
‘Mrs Other’ signals a new chapter in Turner’s artistic evolution, as he looks ahead to releasing more singles and a longer-form EP in 2025. With his deeply personal lyrics, daring soundscapes, and relentless creativity, Turner continues to redefine the boundaries of modern jazz and beyond.
As if dropping a three-pack project filled with bangers was not eye-catching enough, Burgeoning Ghanaian talent NSRB Dray has served another masterpiece with the release of his new single “Eye for Eye.”
Known for singing from raw emotions, NSRB Dray takes it a step further in this new release where he talks about being in a state of despair and self-doubt.
However, there’s no doubt about his intentions on the record. NSRB Dray goes in hard from the first beat drop on the YNT Deezy-produced track.
On “Eye for Eye,” he glides on the boppy instrumentals for two minutes straight, highlighting the world’s abundance of greed, unforgiveness, ego, and pride.
He opens with his version of the famous Mahatma Gandhi saying, “An eye for an Eye leaves the world blind,” before letting his baritone vocals shine through what can pass a “here’s how the world works” pep talk to the listeners.
The record boasts of superior rawness draped around melodious saxophone sounds by Sam Aryee, missing in so many fine-tuned street-preaching jams lately. NSRB Dray’s delivery stands out as the lyrics pierce the ears and hearts of the listeners to nod and note down.
He shared the reason for his choice of lyrics exclusively to Amplify Ghana, stating that his never-give-up spirit pushed him to send a message of hope to his audience.
“Eye for Eye is a music piece written in a state of disrepair and self-doubt. It talks about not giving up and staying well composed in every situation,” he explained.
After dropping “PLAN B” which touched on a similar subject matter, last year, this new release could easily pass as his master plan, but the singer’s unpredictability and versatility means fans can expect different sounds from him.
“Eye for Eye,” is NSRB Dray’s 2025 welcome message. It was mixed by the singer and mastered by talented sound engineer QID Korle.
