Makbule Hande Özyener, a.k.a. Hande Yener, caught my radar a few years ago while on holidays in Turkey. The chorus 'Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, Romeo....' was hardly to be overheard, and the catchy chorus certainly hammered its way into my head.
Over the past decade, she has introduced different styles to the ever expanding, Turkish pop music scene. Each one of her albums has managed to generate a lot of interest as well as anticipation due to the different styles, genres and rhythms. Besides the different experiments Hande tackles with music, her looks and image - a bit like Madonna - are also going through a constant change which arguably, blend in well with the sort of music she releases at the time. She was nominated for Best Turkish Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008, only to be beaten by Emre Aydın. Close to 17 million albums sold all over the world.

Lyrics:
Dün hiç yok gibi
Uzak, kasımdan soğuk gibi
Kar yağıyordu yalnızdım
Savaşlar cepheler
Sonra sen geldin
Arasından sislerin
Büyük yakaların vardı
Gösterişliydin
Dedin ki ben Romeo
Gerçek aşkın savaşçısı
Yalnızlık bitti
Sil gözyaşlarını
Kavga etmez sever beni
Romeo Romeo Romeo
Sabaha kadar kucaklar beni
Romeo Romeo Romeo
Hassas tüy gibi
Umut giyindim zırh gibi
Ağlıyordum yalnızdım
Seyirciler sahneler
Çok Teşekkürler Arkadaşlar
English translation:
Like yesterday doesn't exist at all
Far,like colder than November
It was snowing I was alone
Wars fronts
Later you came
From between the fogs
You had big collars
You were showy
You said that "I am Romeo"
The fighter of the real love
Loneliness ended
Erase your tears
He doesn't fight he loves me
Romeo Romeo Romeo
He embraces me until the morning
Romeo Romeo Romeo
Like a sensitive quill
I wore hope like an armor
I was crying I was alone
Spectators scenes
