Nilipek.

Nilipek. (actually, Nil İpek Hülagü, and with a period at the end) is a Berlin based Turkish singer-songwriter and an indie artist whose music generally strikes a soft tone, swaying between rock and folk influences. Her work is anchored mostly in western esthetics and only incidentally draws from traditional folk motifs. In that regard, she is more in line with classic Turkish artists Bülent Ortaçgil and Mazhar Alanson, especially in the way she keeps her sound small and intimate. She sings in Turkish, in a soft and smooth voice that takes on a whispery quality when she turns the tempo down a notch or two. Between her keen ear for melody and the emotional weight she can pack into her lyrics and delivery, songwriting is one of her major strength.
