"Sor" is the latest track from the Turkish band's fabulous 2010 album "Masumiyetin Ziyan Olmaz" to be released as a single.

Check out the video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU3ZSfZB26M which includes some gratuitous belly dancing (!)...and Harun Tekin in a black suit. :)

I can't stop listening to that Mor ve Ötesi CD which I bought last week in Bodrum. Brilliant Turkish rock music! Their name should be familiar to European music fans as they represented Turkey at Eurovision two years ago with "Deli". Their new album "Masumiyetin Ziyan Olmaz" just gets better with every listen, and I will review it soon on this blog. Harun Tekin has a terrific, distinctive voice and is a great frontman. Favourite tracks so far:

"Araf": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrKevlnYnqY

OK it may be 10 years old, but on any night in any bar in any Turkish holiday resort I guarantee that this will get played, with an accompanying dance routine by some rather lovely waiters no doubt :))))

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the lovely Tarkan with "Şımarık" (a.k.a. the original version of "Kiss Kiss"):



By the way I bought Tarkan's latest album "Metamorfoz" whilst on holiday and will eventually get around to reviewing it on here. :)
