We had the pleasure of interviewing Selin over Zoom video.
Istanbul-born, London-based pop force Selin makes a major statement with her latest single “Cool” – which marks her first official English single under Warner Music.
Written by Selin with Gil Lewis (Blithe, BEKA, Aleyna Tilki) and Micky Blue (Tiësto, TWICE, TaeYeon), “Cool” is a slow-burning, alt-pop number that faces the problem and ensuing emotional chaos of trying to remain on good terms with an ex. Expertly crafted pop hooks and Selin’s honeyed vocals help deliver the personal lyrics with complete emotional capacity, backed up by full-bodied drums and distinctively catchy guitar riffs for a sensational pop-rock experience.
With Selin getting her name out there via big-time dance cuts for major names like Mahmut Orhan, Mert Oksuz, Barlas & Mert, and Trafoier, the bilingual, free-spirited creative made her official Warner Music debut in 2021 with the punchy and slick synth stylings of “Gidip Gel”; effortlessly blending English and Turkish lyrics with Selin’s powerful vocal moments, Selin then proved her international capabilities by transforming the song into a fully English remake in “Give and Take”, which received key support from Brooke Reese’s Apple Music show.
Selin embarked on her journey as an independent artist after graduating from the BIMM Institute London, which has seen her opening for artists like Donna Missal at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London, as well as a stadium tour around Turkey performing alongside Turkish icon Sertab Erener. Carving out an audience for herself with her ‘boho rock’ vibes and unique viral content of Selin covering Turkish classics with English lyrics, the covers prove a further example of Selin’s mission to sprinkle what she calls her “Turkish spice” into all aspects of her career – be it through creative infusions of Turkish instruments across Western pop production, or seamlessly mixing Turkish and English lyrics together. Always taking an authentic approach to her songwriting, Selin uses the art form as her own form of healing and writes with ‘no filter’ to capture her innermost thoughts and feelings.
