“I would prefer to create something unique and rather not have a resemblance to other artists. I

believe the EP is a combination of different genres and elements.” Cagri Raydemir comments on his music.

Cagri Raydemir is a singer-songwriter and music producer making a return with his brand-new four-track EP, Absence.

Absence, is a genre-blending alternative, rock, and progressive release. The production includes typical instruments of the genre (guitars, keys, drums, vocals), and also additional ones (trumpet, percussion, and folk instruments like caglama, kopuz).

Every aspect of the four-track EP – lyrics, music, vocals, instruments (excluding featured guests), programming, arrangements, recording, mixing, and mastering – was done by Cagri Raydemir in his custom-built home studio.

Regarding the lyrical concept, this new EP and; his previous releases are Cagri Raydemir’s observations on the human condition overall and up to the listener’s interpretation.

Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!

Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.

First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
