Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a critical resurgence for the legendary songwriter, 'Turbulent Indigo' addresses heavy themes of domestic abuse, the AIDS crisis, and institutional corruption. Musically, it returns to a more stripped-down acoustic core compared to her synthesizer-heavy 1980s output, earning her two Grammy Awards including Best Pop Album.
