(Self-released, digital) Royalton singer-songwriter Alison AliT Turner is used to playing 150 shows a year. When live gigs came to a screeching halt in 2020, Turner turned her attention to songs from her catalog that she thought hadn t been properly introduced to her listeners. Some Turner had mastered for the first time; others she rerecorded completely. She compiled them all on her third LP,
The Makeover, released February 19. Turner is a pop artist through and through, and these songs, written between 2009 and 2016, reveal what she was listening to in that time frame. (Even before I found her Inspirations playlist on Spotify, I guessed that she liked Paramore, Michelle Branch and Blink-182.)
