She released her first single in 1972 and she was chosen  the singer of year in 1973 in Turkey. She has relased 18 albums, 19 45rpm singles and 1 single so far.

She recently released her newest album "Hayal" (Imagination/Dream). And she has shot two video clips foir this album.  "Bir bilseydim" and "Yaramaz" video clips are shown on Turkish TV channels.

The album has 11 songs:

Having watched that clip, listened to that song (Bir Bilseydin), I didn't enjoy it at all, its such a DEPRESSING song and she looks like as she is suffering in pain, oh well, it appeals turkish public I suppose, they like sadness, it shows through their turkish channels, dramatic films etc. I went to turkey holliday with my friends and almost all channels shows their dramatic love nothing but drama scenes, full of them.

She is regarded a big singer, because of her past. But I don't like her songs.

"Sevince" is in my opinion Turkey's worst entry. Surely such a great singer deserved something better.
