AUDIO: Bahar – “Zaman”

Bahar has released a brand new single called“ Zaman”. The singer has expressed her desire to incorporate her Turkish roots in her work. This is exactly what she did in this single. The song that is mainly in German has a full Turkish verse. It is hard to imagine these languages paired together, but Bahar shows us that it can be done!

Lyrically, the song is about taking a trip down memory lane, but its uplifting rhythm leaves you in a good mood. On top of the language the change “Zaman” also has several beat and pace switches. Once again, we applaud Bahar for her originality and authenticity as an artist. This is a release you don’t want to miss.
