    A common turn is not something you gonna expect here, starting by a intro that really don't give you a clue of what is comming on. And it goes on along the tracks making yourself ask what this album is really about, and this happens for a mixture of calm instrumentals playing heavy melodies singed by Anna "haunted" voice about unsettling    "A intimate album, and for sure a not sweet one"

    From start to finish, A Common Turn takes you through Savage’s liberating highs, all whilst throwing you her turbulent lows – a raw and emotive album, to say the least.

    While these influences [Nick Drake and Ella Fitzgerald] are certainly present, A Common Turn is undeniably and entirely Savage’s own; these are her trials and confessions, and it’s a stroke of great bravery and generosity for her to have released them in this enrapturing manner.

    A Common Turn serves as an excellent commentary on modern life, with some intensely personal struggles that others might be wary of sharing, lined up and forensically examined.
