Emerging in 2019 with a string of singles each more seductive than the last, Bedo commands the middle ground between contemporary Turkish pop—full of traditional instrumentation and a trademark wide vibrato—and the cutting edge of North American R&B. His subtly autotuned slow jams move with the bump and shuffle of trap, with Bedo sounding variously wounded and aching, lustful and longing over room-shaking beats. Sprinkled with serpentine strings and oud lines, these songs are a cross-pollination of new and old, East and West.
