Background

edit

A new version of the album reworked from scratch, titled Completed, was released in December 2022 under Turner's own label. With a song release each last day of the month from January till December. The track listing is slightly different from the Original Complete Me album, it includes a reworked version of Made Her Smile from Turner's 2007 EP Frankisum. An instrumental version of each track is included on the digital version. In April 2023 Turner managed to release a self funded blue vinyl version of the album. The vinyl had 100 signed copies that sold out quickly.[22]
