Başak Gurcan uplifts on immensely catching single, "Watch It!"
Perfect for the summertime and the upcoming hot months, Başak Gurcan’s newest single “Watch It!” has arrived and it is marvelous. Read on for a full analysis of the track, in addition to a background on this artist.
Trained as a jazz vocalist, but continuing to experiment in genres of all kinds, Başak Gurcan has just shared a genre-bending single titled “Watch It!”. While it’s certainly rooted in pop, there’s so many other elements of music that show themselves, but with an emphasis on an electronic production. It’s simple, effective, and immensely catchy in the best way possible, which is why we’re overwhelmingly recommending everyone out there crank it up loud and get listening ASAP.
Led by a reverberating bass line, swirling synthesizers, and Başak’s voice that transcends it all, this one is a complete package of what makes music so uplifting. On the background of “Watch It!”, it’s “based on each person's desire to be trusted, but the sad truth that no one is willing to trust others”. We didn’t initially take this for more of a serious listen as our attention was transfixed on the production and backing track, but after going through repeated listens, Başak really has laid out an important storyline depicted in the song. The resounding message here is to remind others to love and trust one another, and to hope that you’ll receive the same treatment right back.
As for the artist, well she’s typically been behind the scenes these days working closely to produce music in many other genres, as well as lending her voice into the mix. We sincerely hope to see more releases like this coming sooner rather than later, because as of now, it appears that she’s only got a couple songs attributed to her. As the summer looms around the corner, it’s uptempo pop EDM tunes just like this that we want blasting on the speakers. She’s got such a specific tone in her voice and a flair in the style, it’s begging to be followed up with for more. We can virtually guarantee that once you listen, you’ll feel the same.
