Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, Sura cemented her status as one of Turkey’s biggest breakthrough artists when “Bir Daha Yak” earned millions of streams in 2019. It was deserved recognition for an evocative songwriter who brings narratives of loss and longing together with gorgeously minimalist percussion and haunting beats that allow her stellar voice to take centre stage. Ambitious vocal runs and hooks induce goosebumps as she delivers narrative themes with a lasting impact. As she shifts from discordant anxiety to regret, she turns pop into pure poetry.
