Hello there everybody,
As some of you may know, I've been trying to send a package to a friend in Scotland for a few weeks now. My efforts had been in vain until I came across this company called TNT Express. So, finally I was able to send the package. Included in the package were the movie "Oldboy", PlayStation 3 game "Valkyria Chronicles", which he originally sent to me to watch and play, and the movie "Başka Dilde Aşk" along with Özlem's latest album "Bana Bi'şey Olmaz". I told him that he might not be able to understand the lyrics, but that I wanted him to focus on the music and the way the words sound to his ears (not the meanings of the words). I will supply him with the translation of the songs if need be. And here is his review of the album:
"The Ozlem Tekin CD is great! I could always look up online for translations of the song, but based on music alone it's wicked! Ozlem has a good voice and the band are great. The backing vocals on the chorus of the first song sounds so good even though I have no idea what they are singing lol. So far I mostly enjoy the songs 1,2,3,5,7. The last song seems more like an outro as it's a variation of song 2. But tbh its all good and thanks again."
So, he likes 1-Bana Bi'şey Olmaz, 2-Kimse Bilmez, 3-Yatağım Boş, 5-Sen Anla and 7-Erkekliğime Ver most in the album. I was sure he was going to enjoy "Bana Bi'şey Olmaz", "Kimse Bilmez" and "Sen Anla". Especially "Sen Anla", because that song is so universal and so awesome, I can't think of a single person who would refuse to like it. The fact that he liked "Yatağım Boş" and “Erkekliğime Ver”, however, surprised me. I would expect him to like “Şikayetim Var”, as well. Nevertheless, he said he enjoyed the whole album and that was good news for me, since I wasn’t wrong in thinking that Özlem would be as successful abroad as she is in our country, if not more.
