Leah Turner has released her semi-autobiographical debut album ‘This Is Mi'.
Arriving in the midst of Hispanic Heritage Month, the 9-song collection features recent singles ‘Love Like Legends' and ‘Otra Vez, along with the Jarod Niemann collaboration ‘South of the Border' and ‘Para Mi' with Norteño/Tejano artist Michael Salgado.
“This Is Mi is so special to me because it is my first full length album of my career, and it’s fully embracing my whole self,” said Turner of the project. “I have been working on bringing western country and Mexican music together for 5 years, and to see all the blood, sweat, tears, and tequila finally coming together is so exciting for me. This sound has been in the making for a long time, and teaming up with Alejandro Medina III was the final ingredient to the sound! We worked many long hours and saw many sunrises getting it perfect! I hope when people hear this record they feel like Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in Desperado: sexy, legendary, free, and so inspired that they want it ‘otra vez’ (again). I want people to know country music is for everyone, and if you have a dream that may go against the grain, do it anyway. That’s what makes you stand out! Si se puede!”
Turner most recently released ‘Love Like Legends', a mid-tempo that paints the portrait of an epic, Johnny and June-type love with a Latin twist, and sultry duet ‘Otra Vez'. The official music video for “Love Like Legends” premiered with CMT on Paramount’s prestigious Times Square billboard in New York City on 19th September.
