NOTION

"SINCE DROPPING THEIR DEBUT SINGLE, 'HOLE IN MY HEART!', THIS YEAR. IT APPEARS THAT CL TURNER'S TALENTED ENSEMBLE IS PROVING TO BE ON AN UNSTOPPABLE TRAJECTORY... THEY'RE A SEASONED GROUP OF TOURING PROFESSIONALS AND ADROIT MUSICIANS, ALL UNDER TURNER'S LEADERSHIP AS A VETERAN MUSICIAN, PIANIST AND SONGWRITER. THE MUSICAL PARADIGM'S LATEST OFFERING 'PERMANENTLY' TELLS A TALE OF RAW VULNERABILITY AND HUMAN INTERACTION."

EARMILK

"THIS AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVE WAS WRITTEN AFTER FOUNDER / SINGER-SONGWRITER C.L. TURNER, III HAD DEALT WITH HIS LIFE TURNING UPSIDE DOWN. GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE, HAVING HIS MOTHER DIE, A FRIEND DIE AND BECOMING UNEMPLOYED, MADE HIM TURN TO CREATING MUSIC IN HIS DARKEST DAYS. LYRICS INCLUDING, ''I AINT PERFECT / I'LL NEVER BE /TEL KEEP PUSHING TO GET IT RIGHT / AIN'T GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT,'* SHOW THE PERSEVERANCE NEEDED TO KEEP GOING WHEN LIFE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. MUSICALLY, THE TRACK IS AN UPBEAT AFFAIR COMPLETE WITH DRIVING BASSLINES, HONEY-DIPPED VOCALS AND BRIGHT GUITAR RIFFS. A MELODIC AND INVIGORATING MIX OF GENRES INCLUDING SOUL, POP. ROCK AND BLUES MAKES THE SONG A STANDOUT''“

TOO MUCH LOVE

"CL TURNER'S MUSICAL JOURNEY BEGAN AT A YOUNG AGE, DISCOVERING HIS KNACK FOR PLAYING THE KEYS BY EAR AROUND THE AGE OF 10. HIS WIDE-RANGING MUSICAL INFLUENCES ENCOMPASS A DIVERSE SPECTRUM, DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM THE LIKES OF POST MALONE TO EARTH WIND & FIRE, BRUNO MARS TO GREEN DAY, AND ARIANA GRANDE TO ARETHA FRANKLIN. TURNER'S MUSICAL PROWESS HAS TAKEN VARIOUS FORMS, RANGING FROM SOLO PERFORMANCES TO BEING PART OF A SMALL R&B ENSEMBLE CALLED DRY ICE, AS WELL AS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN FORMAL CHURCH GROUPS.
APPROXIMATELY A DECADE AGO, LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCES ACTED AS A CATALYST FOR HIS SONGWRITING TALENT TO BLOSSOM, AND THIS CREATIVE WELL SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUNNING DRY."

CELEB MIX

"TURNER EXPLAINS THAT "PERMANENTLY" IS ABOUT "LOVE, LONGING, AND RELATIONSHIP ANGUISH." THE SONG REVEALS THE BREAKDOWN OF A ONCE SUBLIME RELATIONSHIP THAT IS DESCENDING INTO FRUSTRATION, ANGER, AND BITTERNESS. THE OUTCOME SEEMS INEVITABLE.""HIS MUSICAL INFLUENCES ARE DIVERSE... FROM POST MALONE TO EARTH WIND & FIRE ... FROM BRUNO MARS TO GREEN DAY ... FROM ARIANA GRANDE TO ARETHA FRANKLIN."
"WELL STRUCTURED, "PERMANENTLY" BLENDS BALLADRY, ROCK, AND RAP-LITE INTO AN ALLURING EARWORM OF A SONG, FULL OF SPLENDID POP-ROCK ENERGY."

RIVAL

"CL TURNER IS A TALENTED MUSICIAN WHO HAS BEEN PLAYING KEYS BY EAR SINCE HE WAS 10 (AN AWESOME FEAT TO BE SURE). TURNER'S SESSION GROUP FEATURES SKILLED MUSICIANS AND PRODUCTION TALENT, INCLUDING A GRAMMY-WINNING PRODUCER WHO HAS WORKED WITH COLDPLAY. THEIR SONGS FEATURE CAREFULLY CRAFTED LYRICS THAT EVOKE DEEP EMOTIONS AND ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A POP-FRIENDLY SYNCOPATED BEAT."
