ADRIAN DESCRIBES “MÜCEVHER”

Cem Adrian describes his special 20th-anniversary album as: *“This album is made to remind us of what is valuable in a time when the value and importance of all branches of music and art are changing, and humanity is on the brink of losing its way. It’s not a challenge to the mediocrity, but an album for those who haven’t evolved in that direction. The coming together of such great values transformed what could have been a commemorative album for my 20th year into a collective piece, far beyond that, resembling an anthology of Turkey’s modern music scene of the last 50 years. This album was elevated to a very different level by incredibly valuable figures from pop, rock, alternative, rap, electronic, and authentic music genres, as well as important names from theater and cinema, whose voices and spirits brought this work to a place we have longed for both musically and literarily. *Mücevher* was recorded through hundreds of musicians, dozens of arrangers, thousands of hours of work, spanning 5 hours, with 80 tracks, and it has become a masterpiece that I produced, using all my experiences and musical knowledge at the end of my 20th year, featuring priceless collaborations and an unprecedented variety of content and sound.”*

Cem Adrian, who began his career with a concert at Bilkent University in October 2004, has earned an unshakable place in the music world with his boundary-defying and versatile creativity, powerful voice spanning a wide octave range, compositions embracing all the colors of music, and deeply emotional lyrics. Over the past 20 years, the artist has developed his unique interpretation and firmly established his unconventional approach to music, gaining recognition in the industry. Working across a broad spectrum of music, Cem Adrian has released 20 albums consisting of his own compositions as well as his interpretations of Turkish folk and classical music. The artist, who has developed various projects in genres ranging from jazz to electronic music, continues to grow his fan base worldwide. Additionally, Adrian is Turkey’s most frequently performing artist, consistently connecting with his audience across numerous cities both in Turkey and internationally.
