About "Wandering Soul ":
Capturing the journey of personal exploration to rediscover oneself following the end of a long-term relationship, Jade Turner’s “Wandering Soul” extends a melodic, thoughtful glimpse into the winding road of change. Mellow and hopeful, the instrumentation captures the essence of Turner’s emotional journey back to herself as she reflects on the process of rediscovery - not the feeling of loss. Opening with a slow acoustic guitar and Turner’s gentle vocal, the song builds as the subject moves forward in their journey back to themselves, supported with the addition of drums, electric guitar, and layered background vocals. In her most lyrically vulnerable song to date, Turner reveals the small, meaningful ceremonies she performed in secrecy as she sought to find herself again. Known for her immense vocal power, Turner showcases another side of her vocal versatility in the soft, delicate delivery of “Wandering Soul”, demonstrating that strength can also be felt in sensitivity. An anthem for anyone who has felt as though they lost themselves, Turner’s latest track offers a musical hand on the journey back to who they once were.
“‘Wandering Soul’ is about leaving a comfortable situation and grieving that loss to find yourself again.” - Jade Turner
With a natural gift for telling stories through music, rising Canadian Country artist Jade Turner continues to share and support the Indigenous culture that inspires her. Recognized for her original songwriting and stunning music videos, the member of Misipawistik Cree Nation has already established a diverse audience attracted to her energetic stage presence and singles like “Somehow Someone,” “Hangover Blues,” and “Worth.” Her 2017 debut album, North Country, was named Best Country Album at the Indigenous Music Awards in 2017 where the cinematic music video for her single, “Worth”, also received a nomination.
Turner was raised in northern Manitoba, where local radio stations played Indigenous music and songs by country artists. Because she doesn’t play an instrument, Turner knows that her songwriting approach is unusual, yet it’s already earned her the 2018 title of Emerging Artist of the Year from the Manitoba Country Music Awards, and an incredible 18 other MCMA nominations. In 2022, Turner received a nomination from the Western Canadian Music Awards in the Indigenous Artist of the Year Category, as well as three nominations at the Manitoba Country Music Awards.
In 2023, Turner released "Deadweight", a deeply personal song about the frequent cruelty experienced on social media. The tune was penned with Canadian artist Crystal Shawanda, who Turner credits as being the artist who inspired her most to pursue a music career. Following its release, Turner appeared on eTalk and SiriusXM, and that same year was nominated for four Manitoba Country Music Awards, bringing home two in the categories of Song of the Year, and Single of The Year. As a finalist in SiriusXM's 2024 Top of The Country competition, Turner recorded "That Wind", which was released in May 2024. Turner has announced her third album, Breathe, which will be released in the Winter of 2025.
