Akkor

Description

Singer-songwriter Melike Sahin will release her new album AKKOR via Gülbaba Records in partnership with Day Dreamer. A powerful affirmation of survival that propels the traditional influences of Anatolian pop and folk into the future, AKKOR rises like a phoenix from the flames to reintroduce the Turkish superstar diva to an international audience. An expression of Sahin's personal growth, the album is a testament to her rising status as the voice of a generation, with lyrics that have been embraced as a call for women's rights in Turkey. Recorded live in London with producer Martin Terefe (London Brew, Buika, Jamie Cullum), AKKOR features a selection of the most talented and avant-garde musicians in the scene, including guitarists Dave Okumu (Adele) and violinist Raven Bush, as well as Terling Campbell (David Bowie) on drums, Glen Scott (Eric Bibb), and Nikolaj Torp Larsen on keyboards. Bringing an international touch to her heart-wrenching performances, the record represents the most concentrated and complete expression of Sahin's sound to date.
