Topics turkish music, indie, alternative, singer-songwriter, full album

Nilipek. is a Berlin-based Turkish singer-songwriter whose delicate yet powerful sound has shaped the landscape of Turkish alternative music for nearly a decade. Her debut album, Sabah (2015), was hailed as one of the year’s finest, marking the arrival of a unique voice in the indie scene. Since then, Nilipek. has continuously evolved, exploring new textures and sonic landscapes. Döngü (2017) and mektuplar (2020), embraced a shift toward a more layered sound, blending introspective storytelling with bold, experimental arrangements. Her striking reinterpretations, such as Gözleri Aşka Gülen (2018) and Bir Gün Beni Arzularsan Gel (2021), further cemented her reputation for reimagining familiar songs in unexpected ways. With the release of her long-awaited fourth album, Uydurduğumuz Oyunlarla (“The Games We Made Up”) in May 2024, she delivers poetic Turkish lyrics with cinematic arrangements and haunting melodies, the album is a testament to her ever-evolving artistry.
