Aberdare’s Leon Evans, the man behind the alias My Turning Point, shares a raw, unfiltered solo project that reminds us that music can still get right down into your bones. His latest single, “The Eulogy,” is an emotional one. Awakening from a 3am dream in December with the words “trauma bond” reverberating in his head, Evans grabbed his phone in a half-sleep daze.
The pouring out was 90% of what we hear now in “The Eulogy,” a haunting tribute about a broken, once unbreakable friendship. It’s not written for radio. It’s not chasing trends. This is grief, seized mid-exhale. An eulogy for a bond that once felt forever. Evans, who began writing music at 15, has always been weighted down with emotional isolation, regret, and an unshakable imposter syndrome. That pain is expressed most purely here. With quivering sincerity and a back-drop with nothing to hide behind, “The Eulogy” feels less like a song and more like the pre-dawn whisper of something long kept secret.
As a singer, Evans’s goal is to connect. There is something beautifully human about how his voice strains, holds, and sometimes breaks. It’s the sound of a person grappling with a wound still festering. The sparse instrumentation lets that voice and the heartache behind it stay front and center. Each note feels as if it’s teetering on the brink of a breakdown. But as gloomy as “The Eulogy” is, it’s not without beauty.
There is catharsis in the ache, quiet, universal grief of the kind that can come only when the music means something. And that’s what makes My Turning Point different. Evans is seizing moments, life-altering ones. A single from his second album, “APATHY,” feels like a gut punch that informs the emotional architecture of the project. If you’ve ever grieved the living, this one will haunt you. “The Eulogy” by My Turning Point reminds us that not all heartbreak is in the headlines, but some of it is in the art. It is vivid, flawed, and utterly devastatingly memorable.
