A Common Turn is a questing and provocative record that’s both remarkably dynamic and audaciously exposing.
A Common Turn delivers everything promised by the singles and that EP six years ago. It was worth the wait.
A Common Turn is at its best when Savage is purely focused on herself, plumbing the depths of her psyche and existential angst.
A swooping mix of art rock and intelligent dance music.
Thoroughly modern in its make-up, A Common Turn is simultaneously reflective and rambunctious. Anna B Savage has made an outstanding first impression.
This is a gem of an album. Personal, honest and highly emotive, it tackles big questions; but most of all, it dares to be vulnerable.
Though the record is littered with anxiety, Savage has never sounded more self-assured — it's a complex, contradictory mix, but it makes for something deeply human.
For her debutalbum, Anna B Savage clears a groundbreaking path where stirring, lower-register singing meets bold, simple lyrics that are heartrending, funny or both.
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.
