I mentioned I would do another post on new Turkish music, so here it is. :)


Hadise- Farkımız Va


First up here is Farkımız Va by Turkish Belgian singer Hadise. It translates as "We Are Different" in English and is from her latest album Şampiyon (Champion), which was released last June. The video was uploaded to YouTube on 14th March






Kenan Doğulu- Kardan Kadın

This is  Kardan Kadın by Kenan Doğulu. It's from his album "Aşka Türlü Şeyler and the video was uploaded on 5th March.




Berkan-Bem

This is Ben by Berksan. His full name is Berksan Ozer and he went to a Turkish music school as a child. He released his debut album Çilek in September 2003. Since then he's released 5 more albums- Kalbime Dönüyorum (2005), Bay Bay (2007), Zaaf (2009), Su (2011) and 6 (2016). He's also brought out 3 maxi singles and a remix album. Please note: I translated this from Turkish Wikipedia, so I hope it's accurate!


According to Google Translate, Ben translates as "I". The video was uploaded on 9th February.

Gürkan Aykutalp- Rüyalar Seni Sorar

This is the new song by  Gürkan Aykutalp. It's listed under Rap on netd muzik's (Turkish music platform) YouTube page. I can't find much about Gurkan online but will give his social media links below.

I haven't heard much Turkish rap so it's good to hear new things. This is more of a slow rap. :) Video was uploaded on 28th Feb.

Caner Fındık- Defter


Now for a bit of Turkish rock!  This is Defter, the new single by Caner Fındık, who is from Istanbul. I think his debut single was Seviyor Musum. (Not much English language info on him online).  Defter was released earlier this month.

Melodi- Sadakatisz

Melodi is a 19 year old singer who was discovered through Instagram. This is her single Sadakatisz which I think translates as "Unfaithful". It took me a while to find information about her and what I found I translated from Turkish, so I'll write more about her in future if I come across more info. :)

Sadakitisz came out in January, so it's 2 months old now, but it was new for 2018 so I've included it!

Hope you enjoyed the post! Who's your favourite Turkish singer/group?

P.S. If you're a Eurovision fan you'll be interested to hear that Turkey may return to the contest this year! I hope they do; I usually like their entries. :) Hadise was their 2009 entry and Kenan Dogulu entered in 2007.

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
