TURKISH DELIGHT!

"Definately westernized, modern, belly-rolling, hip-swiveling, sexy, musical rhythms worth recognition in the U.S! No quick flash in the pan pop-star, he's not compared to the "King" (Elvis) for nothing. If you like modern pop/rock music try it with a twist of belly-dancing beats, turkish-techno, and a sultry turkish accent. I played this album recently at a party. It wasn't until everyone stopped dancing to it that people began to realize it was in a forgein langauge. It's amazing to share something like this with people from across the globe in a forgein land. No matter if you can't understand a word, good music is a universal langauge."

My favorite Tarkan CD to date

"Wow...what can I say...the man has talent! I have the majority of his CDs (still missing the first two and anxiously awaiting the new CD single "Ayrilik Zor" - it is UNBELIEVABLE!!!). For a while I thought Bu Gece from "Tarkan" was my favorite song, but then...I heard Kuzu Kuzu. :::SIGH::: Now THAT is a good song (and if you can get your hands on the CD single..it has the acoustic version that is just as wonderful). I love what he does with his voice during that song. I love Ask (a beautiful love song)...and Hup (you can't help but dance when that is on). Tas is nice...although I must admit..I lean more towards Bir Oluruz Yolunda (another great beat...basically it is Tas reworded for the Turkish Soccer Team for the 2002 World Cup). Sen Baskasin is great...Gitti Gideli is a sad slow song. I could go on and on...basically, song for song...I think this CD is much better than Dudu (though that one has some great moments, I like this one MUCH better)...but that is just me.



As for the LONG awaited English album...well..all we can do is hope. I am hoping he stays a little closer to his own sound (singing in English of course!) and doesnt sell out to the American market. He is so unique...America has NOTHING like him now (and quite frankly...hasn't had for a VERY long time)...the man can sing and write beautiful music...he definitely can dance :::sigh:::...and he has an appeal like no other.



UPDATE!!!! As the writer above me stated...the LONG wait is over...the English CD is coming :D I heard it was only a single (a total of 4 songs..but I could be wrong)...but let me tell you, I heard 3 of the tracks..and they are INCREDIBLE (and that is putting it mildly!!!). He did not sell out in any way shape or form. They are very Tarkan-like...very sensual, a great beat, with a Middle Eastern influence. All I can say is...I AM SO EXCITED FOR HIM. He is on the verge of something that could potentially be HUGE.



I also read that there is a new Turkish CD coming out in the fall...could it outdo Karma (which is my favorite Tarkan CD to date)? Well...I guess we will have to wait and see...but if it is anything like the English songs...Tarkan fans are in for a real treat! :)"
