NİLİPEK.

Nilipek. is an Istanbul-based singer-songwriter who blends her own stories with common emotions while singing calmly on a music that varies from acoustic pop to alternative rock.

Her first album Sabah has been noted by critics as one of the best albums of 2015 and since then Nilipek. continues to influence Turkish alternative music with a distinct arrangement and vocal style throughout her releases and collaborations. Her two studio albums Döngü (2017) and Mektuplar (2020) signified a transformation into a noisier music and new ways of storytelling. Her radical cover on classical Turkish song Gözleri Aşka Gülen (2018) was followed by another radical cover of a kitsch pop song, Bir Gün Beni Arzularsan Gel three years later (2021). For the following years, she focused on collaborations and special projects; such as “Castles” with French indie-pop singer Oscar Anton and “Vazgeçtim” with Turkish producer Taner Yücel.

The influential singer-songwriter finally released her long awaited fourth album, titled Uydurdugumuz Oyunlarla in May 2024. The tracks promise the listener a forty-five-minute uninterrupted journey while combining political symbolism in lyrics with innovative musical arrangements. The album also elegantly portrays Nilipek.’s musical evolution since her first album in 2015. Combining elements of intricate songwriting, poetic Turkish lyrics, and compelling arrangements, Uydurduğumuz Oyunlarla promises to captivate listeners with its emotive depth and sonic innovation. From the haunting melodies to the introspective storytelling, each track on the album showcases Nilipek.'s unparalleled talent and evolution as an artist.
