Anthony Huseyin - O Geliyor (Making O) [LP]

Anthony Hüseyin presents their new album O Geliyor (Making O), in which they return to the rediscovery of their gender, their childhood, and their attachment to Zeki Müren.

This genre of music was open to musical hybridism, and Müren himself also included elements of jazz and pop music. Stylistically, O Geliyor (Making O) is a combination of contemporary discoid electro-pop music, based on Turkish Art Music by Zeki Müren. After successful current re-interpretations of Turkish music styles like neo-Anatolian pop and neo-Arabesk, this album provides a first take on neo-Turkish Art Music. The album title is referring to the third genderless person pronoun in Turkish called "O," which encompasses all gender possibilities in one word. The album reflects on the memories that haunt people and the indescribable wounds of displacement. Set against the backdrop of Berlin, home to many immigrants and political and queer refugees, it exposes the profound emptiness in a metropolis wishing to imagine itself as a safe haven for the free-spirited, yet always reminding the Other that they don't belong.
