Customer Reviews
II. Generally Turkish pop hits just stand for the summer season and then disappear. This album is different. It is the "magnum opus" of the Turkish pop, a way to document the Turkey of 1990s.
III. Probably one of the best albums that you can find which is in a language that you do not have a clue about.
My choices are;
"Simarik" (I admit that this is not the most original song that you can find), "Ikimizin Yerine" (one of the settled and slow songs in Tarkan's catalogue), "Ölürüm Sana" (has a great video, must see), "Salina Salina Sinsice" (catchy!), "Gecenin Ürkek Kanatlarinda" (like an independent try, rare in Turkish music), "Kir Zincirlerini" (old disco hit, still has some power).
Simarik is the biggest hit from this album, (it is the song where he kisses both left and right) but other singles have been or will be released (Bu gece, Olurum sana).
To describe this music as anything other than Turkish would be silly. However, it is very modern Turkish and the sound is what many trendy western dance acts would kill to create. Tarkan combines arabic rythms (very similar to latin rythms) with heavy drum machines, he uses traditional Turkish and modern western instruments together and he sings both arabic and western scales well. He also writes most of his songs himself.
The songs are in Turkish language and should be included in the little booklet (if you can understand any of it).
It is not just a dance album although the hit singles are dance numbers. Olurum sana includes a couple of strong, intense and powerful ballads which will make your heart long for Turkey in no time...
When I first heard of Tarkan I was in Paris, September 1998. I bought the album then and it soon grew to be my favorite CD. Now, one year later, it still is!
hwj, NZ 1999.
We were hooked by this album's blend of Turkish rhythm, phrasing and orchestration with a very western pop production style. Fortunately, Tarkan does not suffer from the Eurovision overacting syndrome but has a powerful and expressive voice.
I am sure this disc could break into UK mainstream but they would probably have to do an English version - a shame. Try it for yourself.
