Diva Confirms Tarkan Track

Posted by Kaya Turan from Rochester, UK

Official confirmation has come for the eagerly anticipated music collaboration between trans diva Bülent Ersoy and Turkish pop's megastar on social media.

Ersoy shared a clip of a twenty-year-old music video on her Instagram account wearing a Versace design, explaining that she hoped to wear the label again for her latest video to Tarkan's "amazing" new song.

After rumours in the gossip column of Posta's Eylem İpek Şafak that Tarkan had relented to Ersoy's demands to return to the studio as she was unhappy with the arrangements, it now looks like the Tarkan penned track "Ümit Hırsızı" (Thief of Hope) is on the verge of release.

It had been rumoured to be released in June, with the delay reportedly due to a change of musical direction.

The musical arrangements by pop music producer Ozan Çolakoğlu were said to have been passed over for Turkish classical maestro, and diva favourite, Taşkın Sabah.

Previously, the outspoken diva had emphasised that rumours of a crisis over the song was "a complete fabrication". Ersoy had strenuously denied any rift with Tarkan, calling him an "old friend" and "people would believe what they wanted to believe".
