Lola’s World Records is set to release the new studio album by ATİYE, Europe Music Awards Best Turkish Act Nominee of 2009, showcasing her stunningly exotic voice and invigorating songs. Besides her exuberant performance, the album features ATİYE writing and composing to reveal her prolific songwriting ability and versatility, together with some deep music gurus like İskender Paydaş, Murat Çekem, Philip Ellwart and Manuel Grom. ATİYE excels with 11 songs recorded and two remixed in the album, collaborating with great artists of different musical climates like Nazan Öncel, one of the most influential artists of the pop scene in Turkey whose compositions have almost all become huge hits; the popular acoustic rock singer and songwriter Teoman, the darling of a wide range of fans; Phoebus Tassopoulos, the celebrated Greek songwriter of the 1990s and 2000s; the ruthless rapper MC Tuna; and Dadda Dice, the hearty voice of blazing Reggae, Dancehall and R&B. The entire album is basically alluring with an irresistible set of songs deserving to be hits, like Muamma (Enigma), Salla (Shake), Aşkına da Sana da (Nor You, Neither Your Love), Don’t Think, No Nobody and Deli Ya (So Crazy). The track Kal (Stay) stands out with its urban love story and rebellious qualities owing to the amazing duet of ATİYE and Teoman; and the uplifting song Dondurma (Ice-cream) is definitely the hit candidate of the next spring and hot beaches of the summer. Yalancı Mevsim (A Season that Lies) and Bile Bile (Knowingly) are two beautiful, tender love songs of broken romance. ATİYE successfully manifests an album of hybrid identity, perfectly bringing together the elements of Pop, R&B, Rock, Reggae and Oriental sounds, very much in line with her own story that has roots in Western Europe and Turkey interweaved with pictures from Germany, USA, Turkey and France. Home to a multi-cultural and diverse family of global beats Lola’s World Records presents this hot new album to all music fans in Europe within the frame of the new series of the label: Lola’s World Pearls. |
