Sometimes beginning with a rhythm, sometimes with a melody, this journey can take listeners to unfamiliar places and introduce them to new discoveries. Tallisker is one of the artists we have discovered along the way.<\/p>\n<p>This week, we turn our attention to France. Like many listeners, I first discovered Tallisker through her distinctive interpretation of \u201cDilek Ta\u015f\u0131,\u201d a song we hold very dear. I must admit, the moment I heard her version, I was excited at the prospect of interviewing her. As it turned out, the perfect moment to take our conversation, which began on social media, one step further came with the release of the first single from her new EP \u2014 quite fittingly titled \u201cK\u0131smet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>True to its name, \u201cK\u0131smet\u201d is imbued with emotions that resonate deeply with us. Yet the song reaches beyond the connection it establishes with its listeners, opening a door to conversations about the relationship between East and West, as well as questions of identity and belonging. And we have another lovely piece of news to share: we will meet Tallisker in person this March when she performs in Istanbul. Until then, we look forward to whatever surprises she may have in store for us!<\/p>\n<p>Through this conversation, I wanted to hear about Tallisker\u2019s journey from the beginning to where she is today. As I explored her story, I also had the chance to listen to her entire musical catalogue, a discovery that brought me great joy. Preparing my questions was a pleasure in itself, filled with curiosity and excitement. And with the invaluable translation support of another dear friend of mine, Emre Kalc\u0131, the connection we had begun to build found its way into these pages in two languages.<\/p>\n<p>So, without further ado, let\u2019s listen to Tallisker\u2019s music as we step into her world. Thank you, Tallisker, for this wonderful conversation. Until we meet again very soon, sending you lots of love, straight from the heart.<\/p>\n<h5 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Kadri Karahan<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Tallisker\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/artist\/5kHKhgCMg9yezOrISm4wJH?si=5pJ4VowdTN-PYta6j2BJcA&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Her \u015feyin en ba\u015f\u0131na d\u00f6nersek, k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck ya\u015flarda ba\u015flayan ve profesyonel s\u00fcrece ilerleyen m\u00fczik yolculu\u011funun senden dinleyelim istiyorum.

What was music like as a beginning in life for you? How did it make you feel, and how did it\u00a0help you take those first steps? Who was there for you along the way, whose support did\u00a0you receive, and how did you come to believe in yourself and in your music?<\/h5>\n<p>From a young age, freedom was essential to me. I\u2019ve always felt a kind of rebellion towards established systems and the idea of following a predetermined path. I couldn\u2019t imagine simply working under someone else\u2019s orders \u2014 I dreamed of building a more off-grid life, on my own terms. I was good at school and initially wanted to become a biologist or researcher, because science fed my curiosity. Then literature gradually became more important to me, so I studied it instead. It shaped the way I think, my critical mind, my love of writing and my fascination with language. Throughout all of this, music was my secret world. I would write songs alone in my bedroom, and it became a delicate, almost salvational escape, like a place where I could disappear and simply be myself. I didn\u2019t initially feel legitimate enough to pursue it professionally. I had very little formal musical education and was mostly self-taught. But around twenty, I realized that no other career could make me as happy as being a free artist. Eventually, I dared to put some of my first demos on SoundCloud. That\u2019s where everything started.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tallisker - DAVAM\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A4PlEeaRcAM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>On the one hand, your journey has taken you through different countries, cultures, and\u00a0musical traditions. You have preserved the essence of traditional music while blending it\u00a0with contemporary sounds. In your songs, there is always a search for freedom, a sense of hope, but also stories of disappointment. I\u2019m curious about where this inspiration comes\u00a0from. How would you describe yourself as a musician, a songwriter, and a composer?<\/h5>\n<p>I was lucky to grow up with very open-minded parents who encouraged me to question everything and never imposed a particular path or way of thinking on me. As an introspect, I spent a lot of time observing and analysing the world, and I\u2019ve always been rather sceptical of the way we create categories and divisions between people. I often feel that we live in a world full of cultural caricatures, where generations, cultures, aesthetics and identities are constantly being placed against one another. I like to challenge those divisions through music, by bringing together things that are supposedly incompatible: ancient and futuristic, traditional and electronic, different cultures and generations. For me, this is where my inspiration comes from. I\u2019m interested in creating encounters between worlds that aren\u2019t supposed to meet, and showing that there can be unity, beauty and freedom in those unexpected connections. As a songwriter and composer, I think I\u2019m ultimately trying to build bridges : between people, cultures, sounds and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tallisker - LIBRE (Official Music Video)\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OVy5FBWKmzY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Your first EP was released in 2014. As you continued your journey through singles and\u00a0EPs, I believe it was your 2022 album &#8220;Contrepoints&#8221; that made the greatest impact and brought your work to an international audience. What did this entire journey teach you, and what did it give you? How did you build a connection with your listeners along the way, and\u00a0what was it like to share that excitement with them?<\/h5>\n<p>I think &#8220;Contrepoints&#8221; taught me a very important lesson about belonging. Many people encouraged me to write in French because France is my home country, so I naturally thought this was where I should build my audience. But, unexpectedly, some of the strongest reactions came from Turkey and Eastern Europe, with beautiful echoes in California and other diasporic territories. At first, I was hurt by the feeling of not being sufficiently supported in my own country. Then I realized how lucky I actually was: my songs were taking me to places I had never imagined reaching. I compose while travelling, and now my music makes me travel too. It feels almost like a return of karma. What is particularly striking is that a line from &#8220;Cocagne&#8221; \u201cNo one is a prophet in their own land\u201d has become a reality in my career. I wrote it as an observation, and somehow, it became my own story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tallisker by La Sacem (ADE 2025)\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ePFJ6uJGHjk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>The song that introduced you to us and brought us together was the much-loved\u00a0\u201cBagatelle.\u201d With this song, you captivated us and struck a chord deep in our hearts.

Did you have any sense that it would receive such a warm response?<\/h5>\n<p>Following the success of &#8220;Cocagne&#8221;, I was invited to perform in Bodrum, and I took the opportunity to spend a few days in Istanbul. That\u2019s where I first heard \u201cDilek Ta\u015f\u0131\u201d in a caf\u00e9. I didn\u2019t understand the lyrics, but I was immediately captivated by the incredible delicacy of the melody. I initially imagined making a pop-electronic remix, but then French lyrics started coming to me, sometimes even keeping me awake at night. I gradually realized that I wanted to make a reinterpretation rather than simply a remix. I had no idea how the Turkish audience would react, so the warmth of their response was deeply moving. I like to think that perhaps the song brought people some comfort or touched something in them.<\/p>\n<p>And knowing that G\u00fclden Karab\u00f6cek appreciated my version meant a lot to me.

I can\u2019t tell you which one just yet, but I can promise you that I\u2019ll be singing it at Zorlu.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Edward Maya &amp; Tallisker - Summer Heart (Lyric Video)\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/361L1uR4Ngw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>With your &#8220;East &amp; West&#8221; EP and the second studio album you are currently working on,\u00a0&#8220;High Winds Forecast&#8221;, you say that you are opening the door to a new chapter in your music.\u00a0In this new chapter, you bring pop songwriting together with cross-cultural influences, while\u00a0placing themes such as identity, cultural dialogue, and freedom at the heart of your work.\u00a0You have said that this new musical journey will speak to people who feel that they belongvto more than one world. What can we expect from this new journey in your music?<\/h5>\n<p>The cross-cultural dimension of my music comes from two different aspects of my life. First, I have roots where East and West meet, and I\u2019m proud of that double family heritage. At the same time, I\u2019ve never felt completely anchored to one side or the other. My sense of belonging is both very rich and quite complex. That naturally shapes the way I write and create. Then, through travelling, encounters, books and different cultural environments, I\u2019ve deliberately sought out transformative experiences in both the East and the West. Over time, this became a real way of looking at the world, and of creating. For a long time, I felt quite alone in this position. Then I gradually realized that many of us are actually living this way. And this is what I want to explore with these new songs: to find and bring together those people who, like me, have their heart between several worlds, whether because of their family history, chosen or forced exile, dual nationality, moving from one country to another, or simply because they feel a deep attraction to a culture that isn\u2019t their own and embrace it. How many of us are we out there, escaping the norms and building ourselves between several worlds ? I want to know.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CONCORDE\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Js96pfFffPQ?list=OLAK5uy_kC3rhjfL76oXJXApslgfG5-G1enh2RYw0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>What can you tell us about \u201cK\u0131smet\u201d the first song to be released from the album? What\u00a0will happen next, and how will the process unfold? Can we say that you have reached your\u00a0dreams in music and that your wishes have come true, or is everything only just beginning?<\/h5>\n<p>\u201cK\u0131smet\u201d announces the EP with notes of hope and resilience, and it may be the brightest song on the whole record. The singles that follow will have a darker, more realistic perspective on the state of the world. East &amp; West stands at the crossroads not only of East and West, but also of hope and realism. The EP is an invitation to come together through music, at a time when society feels increasingly polarized. My dream is to bring people together in their differences, around a shared and joyful energy of life. But it also looks directly at the geopolitical reality around us, mindful of the violence of monopolies, the brutality of capitalism, the idiocy of dictatorships, and the impunity surrounding war crimes, such as those we are currently witnessing in Gaza. I couldn\u2019t make a record about freedom and human connection while turning away from these realities. I still have a long way to go if I want to create more unity and connection through my music. It is difficult and long-term work, especially in the world we live in today, but I don\u2019t feel discouraged. On the contrary, I feel more determined than ever to keep building bridges, bringing people together, and creating spaces where we can reconnect with our shared humanity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dawns\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zr_L6z5neQk?list=OLAK5uy_myYp8tG4WX0p8cL5DjjYTrw8c9l-jk01s\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>And finally, let\u2019s talk about the artists who have inspired you in music. Who do you listen\u00a0to, and which artists have influenced the music you make today? How do you view the\u00a0current landscape of music? What are your thoughts on Turkish music, and which Turkish\u00a0artists have you had the chance to discover and listen to?<\/h5>\n<p>My deepest musical influences come from traditional music in all its forms : from Celtic music to dabkeh, via the traditional songs of Corsica and the Balkans. There is something about these ancestral sounds, passed down from generation to generation, that deeply moves me. They carry the power of transmission, and the ability of music to bring people together across time and despite life\u2019s hardships. Among modern artists, I\u2019ve been influenced by French artists such as Daft Punk, Stromae and Myl\u00e8ne Farmer, as well as pop artists like Lykke Li, Rosal\u00eda and M.I.A. I have a particular love for Turkish music, especially for its beautiful balance between melancholy and joy. G\u00fclden Karab\u00f6cek, Nil\u00fcfer and Sefo are among the Turkish artists I love, and I\u2019m very curious to discover many more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tallisker - GAZOLE feat Umut Timur (Live Session)\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p1NdLbv0bXs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Finally, is there anything you would like to say to your listeners in Turkey?<\/h5>\n<p>I would simply like to say thank you. I\u2019m deeply touched by the warmth and support I\u2019ve received from Turkish listeners, even before I had the chance to meet them. You made me feel welcome from afar, and that means a lot to me. I\u2019m very happy that we will finally get to meet in person. I hope this is only the beginning of a long musical journey together. See you very soon in Istanbul.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.muzikekspres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tallisker-konser.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Biletler \/ Tickets:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zorlupsm.com\/etkinlikler\/coca-cola-presents-tallisker-seren-sarac\">https:\/\/www.zorlupsm.com\/etkinlikler\/coca-cola-presents-tallisker-seren-sarac<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u00fczi\u011fin s\u0131n\u0131rlar\u0131 a\u015fan dili, farkl\u0131 sesleri, k\u00fclt\u00fcrleri ve hik\u00e2yeleri bir araya getirirken her sanat\u00e7\u0131 da kendi d\u00fcnyas\u0131ndan bir iz b\u0131rak\u0131yor.
