CAT TURNER - 23/IOU
Cat Turner is an electropop music artist and producer based in Galway, Ireland. She began producing her own tracks from a place of necessity as she wanted to start finding her own sound. The more she witnessed the music producer/songwriter scene the more she realized how little people, especially women, did it. She says "that made me scared to do it myself, which was the exact reason I had to."
"23/IOU" is Turner's latest track, packing together two emotionally vulnerable dark pop tunes. Her signature husky vocals sound as if they should belong in a rock or jazz project, but are sonically refreshing over electronic music. Hanging over angsty synth and energetic arpeggios, her vocals are kissed by autotune here and there, giving them an electronic edge for emphasis. I'm particularly in love with the second half of the track, "IOU," finding it playing on repeat in my head as I try to fall asleep at night. I'm totally engaged and look forward to the forthcoming music video.
