Hi everyone, I am surprised that everyone is interested in Tarkans song for Emir and nobody cared for his other song, for Sibel Can. Because the song for Sibel Can is much nicer!
I am not really impressed with Emir or with this new song, and Tarkans appearance in the video. To me Emir doesnt really look or sing like Tarkan, but he does his best to look like him, with his haircut, beard and eyeliner. But his face to me seems a bit boring.
When Murat Boz was a hit, I asked Ozlen why they did not have Murat issue his album with HITT. After all, Murat had been given a Tarkan composition and several arrangements by Ozan Colakoglu. But Ozlen said, they thought Murats album would not be succesful. So Murat went to another record company. And there he made a lot of money for that record company, with Tarkans composition and Ozans arrangements...weird...
It seems with Emir, Tarkan doesnt want to make the same mistake twice, so they signed Emir at HITT and are putting full backup behind this young artist. But it seems to me that Emir doesnt have the same amount of singing talent or originality as Murat Boz. Emir is trying to be a Tarkan clone, and even his song title (I can't be you) and video refers to this.
It's fascinating that Tarkan now has two newly composed songs out: the song by Emir, and a song by Sibel Can, which was issued in the same week almost.
But while all the fan community is obsessed with Emir, nobody is discussing the Tarkan composition for Sibel Can. I think the Sibel Can song is nicer and more interesting than Ben Sen Olamam. It is much more Turkish, more orignial and has a typical Tarkan sound.
Just like Cakmak Cakmak, Tarkan gave this song to Sibel Can because they are close friends. The song is called Cantada Keklik, (I thik it means: a cake in the bag- probably an expression). The title was first rumoured to be Cok Ayip (Shame on you) but this line only appears in the song lyrics.
in case you are interested, here is the Sibel Can song:
