BEST NEW TRACKS: TURAN "DEPARTED"

7/22/14

London-based multi-instrumentalist Turan's debut "Departed" is a best new track for sure, and one hell of a balancing act. Little if anything else is known about him, which is fine. If I could write a song this good I'd let it do the speaking for me as well.

Blending a series of genres together, while varying his flow more than most emcees do their entire career, Turan makes a bold opening statement with "Departed." The more I listen to this song, the more that man's proclamation that his music is "avant garde, passionate, and honest" seems more factual than egotistical. Sounding a little bit like Yeezus, Woodkid, and even Hans Zimmerman, whom Turan has called a huge influence, "Departed" is all things to all people. As the lead single off Turan's forthcoming debut, Persistence of Memory EP, this track is sure to gain him a cult following, if not more. Can't wait to hear what else this kid has up his sleeve. For now I'll just listen to this on repeat.
