Single Review - Esther Turner / Close

Written by Anna McMillan

Halesowen’s very own Esther Turner released her new single ‘Close’ this week and I am yet to get it out of my head.

The indie rock sound of the young singer songwriter creates for a melodic piece.

The track contains strong, prominent vocals expressing the feelings of striving to live the life you want and the lessons you learn along the way. The added keyboard near the end of the track emphasises the serenity of the song.

It is definitely a soulful track which you would find me blasting in the car during drives down country lanes in the summery weather.

With the beautiful vocals from Esther and the repetitive catchy chorus, I can see this track being a huge hit for the young busker from Birmingham.

It’s like Ellie Goulding meets a mix between folk and indie rock.
