Sebnem Ferah Turkish Fashion
Looking through the Top 10 albums at any music store in Turkey, one is sure to find a Sebnem Ferah album. The Turkish fashion icon and music superstar has just released another critically-acclaimed album titled My Name is Forest, and judging by her looks on the cover, she draws comparisons to Amy Lee of Evanscence in her style. They both emit a "rebel angel" persona, with dark clothing, dark makeup that verges on a goth look, and they both have beautiful voices that soar over a hard rock backdrop in their songs.
Sebnem Ferah's sound is somewhat of a twist on late 80s hairmetal music, but with female vocals and lyrics about depression and destruction rather than partying. The instrumentation ranges from accordian to piano, but most of her songs use minimalist verses and power guitars over which Ferah displays her soaring vocals and beautiful harmony.
