Giving in to demands of fans across social media, London-via-Türkiye pop force Selin comes through with the theatrical ‘sad girl’ anthem “LOVERS HURRICANE” – her second official English single under Warner Music Türkiye. 

With highly personal yet relatable lyrics written by Selin with Gil Lewis (Blithe, BEKA, Aleyna Tilki) and acclaimed singer-songwriter Sarah Close, “LOVERS HURRICANE” takes shape as a powerfully emotive, sweeping ballad about a lost love affair which didn’t get the fairy-tale ending it perhaps deserved, as well as the maturity of having to learn from the past and move on – further realized in the music video’s stormy, dramatic visuals.

Artistically off-setting with the pop-rock vibrancy of last August’s “cool” (watch), the cinematic production on “LOVERS HURRICANE” is the perfect backdrop for Selin’s rich and full-bodied powerhouse vocals to take centre stage in a truly spectacular vocal performance – delivering the poignant, heartfelt lyrics with candour, which have already begun resonating with fans on TikTok, who have organically started creating POV videos using the track.

Speaking about “LOVERS HURRICANE”, Selin said the following: “I had been wanting to write about a specific situation playing on my mind; as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised that I needed to come face-to-face with what those feelings were. The song talks about that feeling of ‘what could have been’ with somebody; on the day I wrote about it with Sarah and Gil, it all just sort of came out. I didn’t want to fully forget about it, so I think writing this was almost like finishing a book, and now it’s ready to be shelved – but who knows, maybe one day this book will be revisited… I hope you can sing, scream, cry, and laugh to this song.”

With her sensational powerhouse vocals and dynamic stage presence, Selin is fast becoming a key name to watch. Cutting her teeth via dance cuts for major names like Mahmut Orhan and Trafoier, the bilingual, free-spirited creative eventually made her official Warner Music debut in 2021 with the punchy and slick synth stylings of “Gidip Gel”; eventually transforming the song into a fully English remake in “Give and Take”, which received key support from Brooke Reese’s Apple Music show.

Selin followed up the release with the mellow pop-rock of “cool” in August 2022, which saw international support come through from the likes of Rolling Stone, Clash and Ones to Watch; Selin’s joint single “Enemies” with Roxen landed a major slot on Spotify’s Times Square billboard, while her recent activation as Gap’s brand ambassador in Türkiye proved her rising commercial viability as an artist.
