Öykü Gürman took the stage last night at the Noah’s Ark Deluxe Hotel in Cyprus. Fatih İçmeli, the singer’s fiancee, with whom the singer is getting ready to marry recently, also watched Gürman from the front table.
“I had to get off the stage and get out again”
Gürman, who took the stage for the second time in the same hotel upon popular demand, said, “This is the second time I am performing here, by popular demand… There was an audience of a thousand people on the last stage. I had to get off the stage and leave again. This happened to me while I was studying at the conservatory, at high school or at university. I can say that it happened after a long time in my professional life. I take off my headphones, I put on my bathrobe. I wanted to breathe backstage because I was sweating. When I heard fork and spoon sounds, ‘again, again’, I said, ‘Did something happen, a disagreement outside? happened?’ I said. Turns out they were calling me, I came out again. This time we met again with the Black Sea folk songs with our audience,” he said.
“WIDE REPERTOIRE”
Gurman, who gave the good news of the new single, said, “The song Ayaz Nights was made famous by Burhan Çaçan in 1990. Our generation knows better, the young people also adapted to the song. I get good reactions. I love such a vocal arabesque technique; I combine it with a more flamenco throat,” I read with a rhythm arena for myself… There is a wide repertoire from arabesques to pop, folk songs to art music and Azeri songs.”
Stating that he likes pop singers who read Arabesque, Gürman said, “I like Merve Özbey very much. I like Simge Sağın very much. Finally, Gülşen sang ‘You Forgive, I Forgive’, and she went on a run.”
“THE WORK MUST RESPECT”
Talking about Zeynep Farah Abdullah’s interpretation of Bergen songs with her own voice in the movie ‘Bergen’, the singer said, “I love to sing in the projects I’m involved in, because I’m a singer. “As you said, this has created a discussion topic because it’s about the biography. I think we can sum it up like this, we need to respect the effort. Bergen’s style in those years was a popular vocal,” he said.
Speaking about the assertive stage outfits of his recent artist friends, Gürman said, “Everyone is free to wear whatever they want.”
“FEELING FREE AND BEING BRAVE IS IMPORTANT”
“Don’t you find stage outfits bold and assertive?” To the question, the singer said, “Of course he is brave. If the person on the stage feels so happy and believes that he can express himself better like that, if he has put a lot of effort into it… There is an aesthetic concern for this. Aesthetics is also beautiful, so I do not find it wrong. Gülşen is a very productive person, she has made her own lyrics and music for years. I respect her a lot, that’s the important thing. Because she is a producer. It’s the way she wants to express herself. She wears clothes very nicely. That’s why she feels free and It’s important to be brave,” he replied.
“I AM WHO LIKES DECOLATE”
“Would you agree not to wear a low-cut on stage if your fiancé asked?” To the question, the famous name replied, “Boyfriends are separate, lover, engaged, spouse separate, but I am a person who likes décolleté in his decision.
Making a statement about the date of marriage, Gürman said, “After the pandemic, I also follow many magazine news, there are celebrities who decided to get married. There are very good partnerships, but the decision is made and the date cannot be given. That’s what happened with us,” he said.
“WE SHOWED A SMALL ACTING”
Gurman, who was in front of the camera for the digital platform of Kanal D, said, “It was like I combined acting with interview. It was something I took part in an episode. We both interviewed and performed a small-scale acting.”
Stating that he did not take a break from acting, Gürman said, “A good script needs to come. Good director, good actors, good team. Especially after ‘You Tell Black Sea’, I have a little more fun and weaving.”
