‘Watch It!’, the new single from Turkish artist Ba\u015fak Gurcan is incredibly catchy, and is sure to be on many a playlist over the summer. Bright and soulful vocals set against a simple instrumental make for a track that is at once memorable and an ear-pleaser.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sparse lyrics are perfectly positioned to give space for features such as the stepping bass notes, and popping synths, while the repeated refrain of “watch it” in the backing vocals adds a further compelling element to the track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Watch It!’ is wholly relatable, the lyrics telling the story of how we all want to be trusted, yet we find it difficult to trust anyone else. Individuals are shown as putting their love to one side in their every day pursuits, and that this is actually harmful. Ba\u015fak\u00a0wants to remind us to trust one another, and allow ourselves to show (and receive) love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A graduate of Hacettepe University State Conservatory Jazz Department, Ba\u015fak\u00a0has trained as a Jazz vocalist, and has had the opportunity to work with the likes of Emre KARTAR\u0130, saxophonist\u00a0George “Skip” Gailes, trumpeter\u00a0Rex Richardson, pianist\u00a0Bob Hallahan, guitarist\u00a0Adam Larrabee, bassist\u00a0Mike Richmond, percussionist\u00a0Tim Collins Howard Curtis\u00a0and\u00a0Doug Richards, former president of the VCU Jazz Studies Institute.\u00a0She has also\u00a0worked with Randy Esen as a jazz vocalist at the Hacettepe Jazz Department.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Ba\u015fak sang for the soundtrack of the documentary, ‘Mirror and Bar’, as well as singing the pieces of modern dance performances choreographed by\u00a0Berk Sar\u0131bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
