The album can, in fact, be treated as a concept album about the capacity for change that lies at the heart of even the most hard-boiled and unsympathetic of men, the kind we meet straight away on âAinât Niceâ and âToadâ.
When âInto The Sunâ introduces us to a similar figure having a Damascene moment in which he realises the damage he has caused, we realise that we are, in fact, following a single flawed protagonist: an aging huckster who loves nothing but his dog, his drugs and himself. Travelling with this self-sabotaging antihero though his highs and lows, his relapses and revelations, as he rises above his basest impulses to pursue love and a life of peace is a hell of a journey in itself.

Michelle Obama once said that to âdare to be vulnerableâ is to break down barriers and show others who you really are. With
Anna B Savage, this quote can be applied explicitly throughout her tenderly captivating and embracingly vulnerable debut album âA Common Turnâ.

However, the unexpected success of this release had serious consequences for Savage as she struggled with feelings of imposter syndrome and at her lowest, questioned whether she could continue writing music any longer.
Over the last five years, Savage has built things up from the ground again to rekindle her passion for music and for herself. âI started to like myself again,â she explains in a press release, and âA Common Turnâ openly explores this vulnerable five-year period with authenticity and poise.
