Jade Turner's new single "Highway Town" out today!
Jade Turner releases her highly anticipated new single "Highway Town" today on all major streaming platforms and country radio. As the debut single from her forthcoming album, the song marks her first release since Turner's critically-acclaimed 2017 album, North Country. The new batch of songs are produced by multi-award winning producer, Murray Pulver (Doc Walker, Crash Test Dummies), whose talents brilliantly bring to life each story Turner tells. Her versatile sound shines on this record and her stories continue to resonate with country music lovers everywhere. As her music demonstrates, Turner is a wise soul who’s learned a lot throughout the years, and she’s looking to share the wealth through her gift of song.
Turner is already an award winning songwriter and performer, and it’s only the beginning for this charming rising star in Canada's country music scene. She is the winner of a 2017 Indigenous Music Award for 'Best Country Album' and Manitoba Country Music Awards 'Emerging Artist of the Year' award in 2018, with many more nominations to boot. Turner is well on her way to making her mark on the Canadian music scene, and feels the best is yet to come.
"I am really proud of this record! "Highway Town" was inspired by a trip through the prairies on my way to the Canadian Country Music Awards. There was something about seeing all those little towns that you pass on the highway between the bigger cities. They all have a story, people who chose to plant roots and those who leave to chase their dreams. It reminded me of leaving my community to move closer the the city to follow my own dreams." says Turner
The album is self-titled, which is fitting for a project that is filled with songs that express Jade’s different aspects of her personality and passions. Her eclectic interests coupled with the unpredictability of life makes for a one of a kind take; Jade’s love of motherhood, memories of her hometown, hard work as a millwright, travel dreams, her connection to the land, learning from her past and more are delivered in a way that paints the picture of her world like a good book. The maturity and musicality with which Jade tells her stories makes for an emotional ride of an album that country fans will find themselves relating to throughout.
Jade Turner’s fun-loving, blatantly honest, adventurous self is exactly what shines through in her music, whether she’s sharing her experiences, hoping to teach us a lesson, expressing her own worries or looking to induce a smile.
Her first single, "Highway Town", will be available on all streaming services, today.
