Is anyone else a fan of this Turkish artist? He’s 29-years-old, and does a bit of everything, but is primarily a musician and (recently) an actor. I think he’s very talented and I’m becoming a big fan.

My favorite song of his is probably [Anladım](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHGhqtR-pEQ) (I Understand), a duet with Pamela Spence (half-Turkish, half-English, thus explaining her very un-Turkish name) that is about a love self-destructing. The video is engrossing and despite the language barrier you get a good grasp of the powerful emotions expressed in the song.

My second favorite is [Yağmur](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAzMjJcvFaM&feature=related) (Rain), the lyrics of which are ridiculously beautiful in both Turkish and English, like so:

\*Saçlarımda nefesin yerine yağmur \*(There is rain in my hair instead of your breath)  
\*Dudağımda dudağın yerine yağmur \*(There is rain on my lips instead of your lips)
