Apparently, Catie Turner appeared on Season 16 of American Idol back in 2018, respectably placing in the top seven. That’s a lesson to nose-in-the-air musos to not be dismissive when it comes to those pop reality shows, because Turner is the real deal. Her voice has a magical, smokey quality to it that is simultaneously smooth and edgy.

On “Who Am I,” Turner sings the line “identity is like an orgasm, I wanna have one,” which is both brilliant and layered. “California” is a quirky little gem, blessed with elements of college rock bands such as REM and Everclear. In fact, Turner’s entire Blue Alchemy album is excellent, so get clued in.
