If you like Turkish music, this is a great CD to buy. Sezen Aksu is know as on of the most popular singers of Turkish pop music. Her music sounds a little more traditional than other pop singers like Tarkan, but this CD is still worth every penney.

The US has cultural pop singing sensations like Madonna and Britney. The Australians tour artists like Kylie and in the UK rolls out sizzling performers like Elton John and George Michael. In the Mediterranean, there is no larger force than that of the Sezen Aksu, or the little sparrow, as she is known.

Deliveren is her 15th album in Turkey...One of the best of all.
listen to :
Gidiyorum Bu Sehirden
Okudumda
Sari Odalar***
Hayat Sana Tesekkur Ederim
Keskin Bicak
Rumeli Havasi

and Oh-Oh "the funkiest" song on the album.

This little sparrow built her nest piece by piece, and My hope is that Sezen, and artists like her, will find international acknowledgment and acclaim. I suspect that if anyone can break into the all-English speaking market, it will be her. Sezen is big. Today she is a contemporary pop music institution in Mediterranean. One day the world. When you hear her music, you will notice the brilliance. Discover this talent by buying her album today.

ALSO Check Out Her New Album " SARKI SOYLEMEK LAZIM" which was released on August 2002.

I love Sezen Aksu's traditional approach to the songs on this album, especially selection # 4, Keshin Bicak. This song alone makes the album worth owning, but don't worry, you won't have to fast forward through everything else. The other songs are a delightful mixed bag.

This album was my first exposure to Turkish music and to Sezen Aksu. She deserves her title as the Diva of Turkey. My other big favorite is selection #7, O-kudum-da, as fun and rollicking as Keshin Bicak is sexy and sorrowful. "Deliveren" is a happy addition to my list of five-star reviews.

Sezen Aksu was selected by NPR as one of the fifty great voices for their programs. It is a voice very reminiscent of a young Piaf and being totally unaware of the content/lyrics of each song is inconsequential. The rhythms vary fro haunting to jangling - very Turkish.
