Ally Evenson – Turning Turning
Putting a bow on an action-packed 2025, rising alternative-pop singer-songwriter Ally Evenson caps off the year with an introspective new single, titled “Turning Turning.”
The new song is out now via Assemble Sound/Atlantic Records. “Turning Turning” sets the stage for what promises to be a momentous 2026 with the anticipated release of her sophomore album, SPEED KILLS, out everywhere on February 20.
Ally took the reins and produced “Turning Turning” with creative partner-in-crime nydge and Kim Vi. Across the track, synths bubble, oscillate, and pop beneath her infectious delivery as chord changes squeak down the neck of an acoustic guitar. Getting reflective, she looks for clarity and laments, “Do you ever wish you could undo? Make it feel brand new?” The tempo accelerates, and she leans into a hypnotic refrain, “Turning turning I’ll keep the fire burning.” The unshakable melody immediately resonates, urging you to let go and let life take its course.
“This song is a little whimsical tune about self-reflection and letting things happen,” shares Ally. “Trying to control your surroundings is so exhausting and almost impossible.”
“Turning Turning” arrives on the heels of her latest release, “AFO.”
Over the course of 14 tracks, Ally’s forthcoming album sees her process the aftershocks of a breakup: the ensuing anxiety, profound sadness, newfound confidence, and ultimately, self-actualization. Co-producing with longtime collaborator and trusted musical confidant nydge, she’s in the driver’s seat on SPEED KILLS.
She sums it up best, “All of these songs are about me and my life. You’re getting who I am on SPEED KILLS. This is a study of myself.”
