Turn Your Head

'Turn Your Head' is the third and final single to be lifted from the album, Through The Shadows. The track debuted at #10 on the UK Official Charts making it her lowest chart position to date. However with sales of 200,000, the track did significantly better than her previous effort, "DJ".

Critical reception
The song received positive reviews from music critics. BBC Music's Mike Diver said, in the album's review, that the "Turn Your Head" is "memorable" due to its use of "military percussion" and Nick Levine of Digital Spy claimed that the track contains a "cute combination" of "strings and sweet nothings". Tom Ewing of The Guardian said that the song was "an austere take on modern pop that gives Anna's voice the space it needs" and Louise McCudden of In The News said that, despite having "possibly the most lyrically mundane chorus [she had] ever heard", "Turn Your Head" is a "well-calculated song" that gets stuck in the listener's head. MusicOMH writer Sam Shepherd voiced his belief that the song includes's Anna's best vocal from the album and he praised the "deftly orchestrated production" and Andy Gill of The Independent said that there is an "undertow of paranoia" in the piece. Later Fraser McAlpine, during his chart blog review of the song, awarded "Turn Your Head" five out of five stars, saying "Anna's pleading voice strikes home. Hard. [..] It's nothing to do with anything which is happening in her personal life, I don't need the back-story to get carried away, it's simply that she sings these tender, mournful lyrics as if she means every word."

Music Video
The accompanying music video for "Turn Your Head" was filmed in early May 2011 at Eltham Palace in London and made its debut on T4 at 12.20 GMT on 25 May 2011. The concept of the video is very much the same of that of the single cover. Anna performs a routine styled by the fairground accompanied with male dancers.

Digital Spy was complimentary about Anna's choice of attire in the video, whilst the Daily Mail praised the choreography. Promo News also gave the video a good review and called it "a top-notch pop vid".
