Writer and poet, Joshua Idehen, has today released ‘Turn It Around’, the latest single from his forthcoming debut album, I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try which is out this Friday, 6th March on Heavenly Recordings.
Three and a half minutes of pure house music, ‘Turn It Around’ is redemption in lyrical poetry, the kick of a four-four beat and a female vocal that arrives ready to save your soul on the dancefloor if needed.
Talking about the track, Joshua said:
“We can thank Ludvig’s wife, Ylva, who suggested it as an album closer. And, it found its place.”
