Earlier this summer season, Turkish singer-songwriter emir taha released his debut EP, Hoppa Pt. 1, a breathtaking six-tracker that place forward his R&B eyesight. In the past he is commented that he hopes to do for Turkey with R&B what Roselia did for Spain with Flamenco. That may possibly seem like hubris, but Hoppa Pt. 1 laid out an R&B audio built around impossibly sleek vocals and splashed with sensitive touches of Turkish influence, carefully introducing his world-wide viewers to the sounds that elevated him.

Now, with 2020 drawing to a shut, he has 1 previous video from the EP before he embarks on plans for it truly is follow-up (due upcoming yr). The video clip for “Huyu Suyu” (the title of which implies “techniques and h2o” in Turkish) was shot in Hackney, East London by Olivia Rose, who describes the video as “the coming together of the masculine and female. Taking affect from Emir’s lyrics as very well as his Turkish heritage, we set the movie in drinking water — from a bath to the deep blue — where by Emir meets a mirage in a red veil — loosely centered on Turkish bridal attire. The movie focuses on that electric instant when you assume two men and women are coming jointly but they don’t fairly make it, the instant the mirage disappears and Emir realises he is on your own in the bathtub at the time extra.”
