The disco-informed soul singer and songwriter Gavin Turek recently came out with “Slide,” her collaboration with the multi-instrumentalist bLAck pARty. That song, it turns out, was not a one-off. Instead, it was the stealth-release first single for Turek’s forthcoming album Madame Gold, which finds Turek adapting a whole new sound and persona. Today, she’s announced the album and dropped another single.

Turek produced and co-wrote all of Madame Gold with Childish Gambino collaborator Chris Hartz. On the album, she digs deeper into ’70s funk and soul, and she imagines herself a fantastical superhero character. In a press release, Turek says, “Releasing this album is my way of taking back my power and stepping into the role of my own superhero. I don’t need a man, a label, or the government to save me. I needed to find the hero in myself.”

Turek’s new single “Illusions” has a nice, sparkling glide to it. It’s a blissed-out love song, and Turek really wraps her voice around its groove. Turek co-directed the song’s video with Nina Reyes-Rosenberg. In the clip, we see a gold-painted Turek in the desert, spending time with a special friend. Every shot in the clip could appear on the cover of an old sci-fi pulp novel or as a still in a Jodorowsky movie. Check out the video and the Madame Gold tracklist below.
