Reviews
“Voice of a nation: İstanbul musician Melike Şahin’s literary lyrics and stage presence have helped create a modern diva.”
Hannah Lucinda Smith’s Piece For Monocle, August 11, 2024
“Musically these 10 compositions mix melancholic anatolian folk influences, disco hedonism, pop smarts and cinematic soundscapes, all sung in a glorious voice full of passion and commitment but equally capable of nuance and subtlety.”
Nigelwilliamson For Uncut, November 5, 2024
“If you need a soundtrack to your next bosphorus-based love affair, then look no further that Melike Şahin, the new “Turkish Diva” a singer with sultry gravity that pulls you right out of anylanguage barrier into a full mood of elegance.”
Dj Connor For Ones To Watch, November 12, 2024
“Melike is not only pushing the boundaries of Turkish pop but also defining the future of global independent music.”
Nikolas Kaan Yilmaz’s Piece For Songlines, January 30, 2025
