Leah Turner releases new single ‘American Made’
In a timely release for Independence Day, artist Leah Turner has unveiled her latest single, ‘American Made’. This semi-autobiographical mid-tempo track is characterised by the gentle strumming of an acoustic guitar and Turner’s distinctive vocals. Once again, Turner seamlessly blends her American upbringing with her Hispanic heritage, offering a song that underscores inclusivity in the definition of being truly ‘American made’. The song was co-written by Turner and Skip Black, with production by Alejandro Medina III.
Turner shared her inspiration for the song, stating, “I come from two dirt roads – one from Mexico, and one from California. Being second-generation Mexican American, it’s important to me to highlight the sacrifices my grandparents made to be part of this country. We all have dreams in our hearts – they followed theirs and became American Made, pero hecho en México. We may not all look the same, and we may come from dos mundos (two different worlds), but we are Americans and American Made. I’m proud to be American and Mexicana. I’m proud to be American Made.”
Known for challenging stereotypes and redefining country music with her unique blend of modern country and Hispanic roots. Her recent single ‘T-Shirt’ showcased a playful narrative about a past relationship, adding to her diverse repertoire. Additionally, her collaboration with Jerrod Niemann on ‘South of the Border’ featured a dynamic mix of drums, commanding horns, and electric guitars, earning recognition from Billboard for its intensity.
All three songs, including ‘American Made’, will be featured on Turner’s forthcoming EP, slated for release later this year.
