About This

One of the most powerful voices and lyricists in Turkish pop music, Sıla has reintroduced her beloved track “Bodrum’un Suları”, originally featured on her “Joker” album years ago. The song was re-released on September 12 across all digital platforms, now with a unique and cinematic arrangement by Dünya Kızılçay, who also performs as Sıla’s backing vocalist. A Triumphant Rebirth at Harbiye The first hint of the song’s revival came during Sıla’s August 30th performance at Harbiye Open-Air Theatre, where she performed the piece live for the first time in years. The crowd’s overwhelmingly positive reaction signaled the beginning of a new chapter for the song. Sıla’s Words on the New Arrangement Sharing her thoughts on the revamped version, Sıla expressed: “About two years ago, during a conversation, Dünya told me how much she loved ‘Bodrum’un Suları’ and asked why it had never been recorded in a studio. I simply said, ‘Then go ahead and do it.’ With her imagination, inspiration, and epic arrangement, the song transformed into something entirely new. I’m truly happy with how it turned out — it’s an honor to present it this way.” A Bridge Between Nostalgia and Innovation Thanks to Dünya Kızılçay’s creative vision, “Bodrum’un Suları” now offers a fresh musical experience while still honoring its nostalgic roots. This renewed version stands as a meaningful milestone in Sıla’s artistic journey, blending the emotional depth of the past with the richness of today’s sound.
