If this is your first time hearing the name Tricia Tribble, let us be the first to say: you’re in for something special. A powerhouse vocalist with roots planted deep in the rich musical soil of Chicagoland, Tricia has long been a treasure to those who’ve seen her live—but now, with “Turn It Around,” she opens the door to a broader audience, delivering an emotionally resonant and musically captivating track
Raised in the warm harmonies of church choirs, Tricia’s voice carries a depth and strength that can’t be taught—it’s lived. Peers describes her music as melodic, strong, and entertaining, and “Turn It Around” embodies all three. It is an anthem for anyone who’s grown weary of broken promises and unspoken feelings.
From the opening moments, the production sets a tone of thoughtful soulfulness. Wayne L. Barrett’s arrangement gently wraps around Tricia’s vocals like a well-tailored suit: supportive, subtle, but never overshadowing. You can feel the soft blend of gospel, jazz, and classic soul in the instrumentation—warm keyboard tones, steady drums, and a groove that simmers just beneath the surface, allowing the voice to shine.
And what a voice it is. Tricia’s vocal performance is the emotional backbone of “Turn It Around.” Her tone is rich and velvety, with just the right amount of rasp to bring rawness to her delivery. She doesn’t just sing the lyrics—she lives them. When she sings: “You say you want it, but you gotta show it. You gotta turn it around, turn it around baby.” It feels like a mirror held up to every relationship where words have come easy, but actions fell short. There’s a clarity in her phrasing, a purpose in every line, that makes the song feel personal even if you’ve never walked in her shoes.
Throughout the track, Tricia masterfully shifts between vulnerability and strength. In lines like: “I can’t fake it just to make it. I can’t keep giving my heart to you to break it.” She delivers the kind of lyrical moment that makes you pause and nod—because you’ve been there, or you know someone who has. These aren’t just good lyrics; they are lived truths, wrapped in soul.
The chorus is a standout moment, building like a soulful sermon with harmonies that rise in just the right places. It’s bold and memorable, offering both a plea and a line in the sand: “Too many years. Too many tears. You won’t make a change, but you want me to stay…” With each repetition of “turn it around,” the song transforms from lament to empowerment. It’s the sound of someone reclaiming their voice.
“Turn It Around” is a testament to Tricia Tribble’s artistic integrity and vocal excellence. She sings the songs people want—and need—to hear. Her work isn’t about chasing trends; it’s about telling the truth with grace, grit, and melody.
If you’re just discovering her, know this: Tricia Tribble is not a passing moment; she’s a presence. With a performance history that includes sharing stages with Stevie Wonder, Kenny Lattimore, and Eric Roberson, and portraying legends like Nina Simone and Tina Turner, it’s no surprise that audiences are always left asking: “When will she return?” Well, she’s here now—and “Turn It Around” proves she’s exactly where she belongs.
