It was released on 3 June 2013 by Pasaj M\u00fczik. It was Er\u00e7etin’s first major work since the 2011 release of Aranjman 2011, and her first studio album after K\u0131r\u0131k Kalpler Dura\u011f\u0131nda (2009). It is a pop album, and like Er\u00e7etin’s previous works contains elements of Balkan music.Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk… was recorded and produced over the course of 12 months, and has 15 songs in total. Er\u00e7etin was the album’s main songwriter and wrote nine of its songs on her own. The album also features the songs “Yaral\u0131 G\u00f6nl\u00fcm”, originally performed by Zeki M\u00fcren, and “Herkes Gibisin”, based on a poem by N\u00e2z\u0131m Hikmet. The two songs were recomposed and performed by Er\u00e7etin. The album’s first song and music video, “Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…”, is based on the legend of Simurgh and discusses the falling of human soul into the worldly traps and losing its way. Music critics gave the album positive reviews in general..The promotion for the album was postponed due to Taksim Gezi Park protests and it was initially promoted only on the singer’s official website and on the website of its production company. The album topped the list of best-selling albums in Turkey and sold 50,000 physical copies in the year it was released. In the album’s booklet, Er\u00e7etin mentioned that Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk… was her last album  to be released in CD format.

The preparations for her seventh studio album began in the summer months of 2011. The production phase lasted for 8 months, after which she started working with Alper Erin\u00e7 in the studio and recordings were done after 12 months.[1][2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4On 3 June 2013, Candan Er\u00e7etin’s seventh studio album, Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…, was released by Pasaj M\u00fczik.[1] It’s a pop album with 14 new songs, nine of which were written solely by Er\u00e7etin, and the fifth song, “A\u015fk”, was written by her and Redd’s lead vocalist Do\u011fan Duru.[3] Just like her previous albums, rhythms of Balkan music were used in this work as well.[1] The album’s lead single “Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…”, is titled after the legend of Simurgh. In the song, it is told how human’s soul loses its way because of eagerness, greed and jealousy, and in the legend it goes on a mission to find Simurgh, but it faces many worldly barriers.[1] In the album, Anna Vissi’s song “Sigxaritiria” is turned into Turkish under the name “G\u00fcle G\u00fcle”, as well as Ella Fitzgerald’s “Bei Mir Bist Du Sch\u00f6n” which was performed by Er\u00e7etin in Turkish with the new title “E\u011flen Ne\u015felen”.[4] The Turkish version of “Misirlou”, which was performed by Zeki M\u00fcren in the 1950s under the title “Yaral\u0131 G\u00f6nl\u00fcm”, was re-performed by Er\u00e7etin and included in the album.[4] On the songs “Dalga” and “Yak Gemileri” old compositions by Sorinel Pustiu were used.[1]N\u00e2z\u0131m Hikmet’s poem, “Herkes Gibisin”, was composed into a song and performed by Er\u00e7etin. The album’s release accidentally fell on the same date as the fiftieth anniversary of Hikmet’s death.[1] As a result of the “desire to establish a link between the legacy of the past and the music of today”, she prepared the ghazal for “Herkes Gibisin” together with Veysel Samano\u011flu.[1][5]In the album’s booklet, Candan Er\u00e7etin mentioned that Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk… would be her last album that was going to be released in CD format. In her note, she wrote: “I’m afraid this is the last album we’re releasing together with a CD record. The world is changing, so is Turkey, and so is the technology, and we are left with no options but to adapt to new changes. I will not give up on singing songs, crying, laughing, and living in short. Because singing with you gives strength to my soul, it makes me feel alive and lightens my loneliness. Then someday, somehow, we are going to meet again.”[5]Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk… ranked first on the list of best-selling albums in Turkey.[6] According to M\u00dc-YAP, the album sold 50,000 physical copies by the end of 2013 and became the fifth best-selling album of the year.[7] With 54,790 downloads on digital platforms, it became the tenth most-downloaded album of the year.[7] The number of sales for the album was 104,790 altogether. The promotions for the album were postponed due to the Taksim Gezi Park protests and it was initially only promoted on the singer’s official website and the website of its production company.[8] Later, in a note sent with the album’s copies to a close circle of musicians, Er\u00e7etin said:“Hello. We released the album Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk… on Monday 3 June 2013, just as we had planned a long time ago, but as our country is passing through stormy days and to not to take attentions away, we did not want to do the main promotion in any platforms other than candanercetin.com.tr and pasajmuzik.com. Our hearts did not let us do it. But I wish to see this album in your archives just like the other ones. Yours affectionately, Candan.”[9]Critical reception[edit]Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk… received generally positive reviews from critics. H\u00fcrriyet‘s Cengiz Semercio\u011flu gave a positive review for the album, and wrote that he was able to see three different sides of Er\u00e7etin in the album: Entertaining Candan (in the songs “E\u011flen Ne\u015felen”, “Kim Deli”, “Dalga”, “Yak Gemileri” and “Yaral\u0131 G\u00f6nl\u00fcm”), Sad Candan (in the songs “A\u015fk”, “Beklemeden”, “Sen” and “Herkes Gibisin”) and Lonely Candan (in the songs “Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…”, “Ya\u011fmur”, “G\u00fcle G\u00fcle”, “Yaln\u0131zl\u0131k” and “Hafif”). He mentioned that the songs grew more and more beautiful as one listened to them repeatedly, and named the acoustic version of “Sen” as his favorite song in the album. In conclusion, he wrote that the singer had managed to both entertain and sadden her audience.[8] Sadi Tirak from the same newspaper described the album as Er\u00e7etin’s worst album to date and wrote that he had faced the album with great disappointment. He also did not find the songs “Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…”, “E\u011flen Ne\u015felen”, “Kim Deli”, “Dalga”, “Yak Gemileri” and “Yaral\u0131 G\u00f6nl\u00fcm” suitable for Er\u00e7etin, and believed that they should have been given to Nil Karaibrahimgil.[10]Radikal‘s Arda Savc\u0131 wrote in his repertoire that the album was consisted of proper songs that would not mislead the listeners. However, he noted that a little minimalism would not be bad in the lyrics, and named the songs “Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…”, \u2018”A\u015fk”, “E\u011flen Ne\u015felen” and “Yak Gemileri” as the starred pieces of the album.[4]Sabah‘s Fecir Alptekin liked all of the album’s songs and described Er\u00e7etin as a “bard-musician”. He found the song “Beklemeden”, which he described as the star of the album, as a competitor to K\u0131r\u0131k Kalpler Dura\u011f\u0131nda‘s “Bahar” “in terms of the effect and enthusiasm that it creates”.[11]Milliyet Sanat‘s Yavuz Hakan Tok wrote that the album was exactly something that was expected from Er\u00e7etin and believed that with this work she had succeeded in securing her place in people’s hearts. He found the ghazal at the beginning of “Herkes Gibisin” impressive, and believed that “Kim Deli” with its makeshift lyrics was the weakest piece in the album. He also mentioned that the song “Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…” with its content was somehow talking about the resistance at the Taksim Gezi Park protests.[12]Music videos[edit]Candan Er\u00e7etin postponed the promotions for Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk… due to the Taksim Gezi Park protests.[8] The album’s first music video was made for the song “Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…”. The video was recorded at the Ma\u00e7ka Park in Istanbul and 80 of Er\u00e7etin’s young students from Sait \u00c7ift\u00e7i Primary School and Minik Y\u0131ld\u0131zlar Kindergarten appeared alongside her. It was recorded over the course of nine hours and directed by the album’s visual director Bozkurt Bayer.[13] The music video was first released on 21 November 2013.[14] The second music video, “Herkes Gibisin”, was made using the footage from one of Er\u00e7etin’s concerts and released on 29 June 2015.Track listing[edit]TitleWriter(s)Composer(s)1.“Milyonlarca Ku\u015ftuk…”Candan Er\u00e7etinEr\u00e7etin4:302.“Ya\u011fmur”Er\u00e7etinNuri Irmak4:423.“G\u00fcle G\u00fcle”Er\u00e7etinKarvelas Nikolaos5:054.“Yaln\u0131zl\u0131k”Er\u00e7etinEr\u00e7etin4:075.“A\u015fk”Do\u011fan Duru\u00a0\u00b7  Er\u00e7etinDuru4:136.“Beklemeden”Er\u00e7etinEr\u00e7etin4:397.“Sen”SinanEr\u00e7etin\u00a0\u00b7  Alper Erin\u00e7\u00a0\u00b7  Irmak3:588.“Hafif”Aylin AtalayJ\u00fcrgen Heusser3:459.“E\u011flen Ne\u015felen”Er\u00e7etinSholom Sholem Secunda4:0810.“Kim Deli”Er\u00e7etinEr\u00e7etin\u00a0\u00b7  Erin\u00e73:5311.“Dalga”Er\u00e7etinSorinel Pustiu4:0212.“Yak Gemileri”Er\u00e7etinPustiu4:2713.“Yaral\u0131 G\u00f6nl\u00fcm”Recep Suat Say\u0131nNicolas Roubanis4:2414.“Herkes Gibisin”Naz\u0131m Hikmet RanEr\u00e7etin6:1815.“Sen” (Acoustic)SinanEr\u00e7etin\u00a0\u00b7  Erin\u00e7\u00a0\u00b7  Irmak3:38Total length:66:34NotesThe opening of “Herkes Gibisin” contains improvised lyrics that were prepared by Candan Er\u00e7etin and Veysel Samano\u011flu.[5]Personnel[edit]D\u00fcnya M\u00fczik \u2013 producerPasaj M\u00fczik \u2013 productionCandan Er\u00e7etin \u2013 producer, singer, songwriter, composerAlper Erin\u00e7 \u2013 composer, arranger, mixing, guitar, double bass, mandolinNuri Irmak \u2013 composer, pianoKarvelas Nikolaos \u2013 composerDo\u011fan Duru \u2013 songwriter, composerSinan \u2013 songwriterAylin Atalay \u2013 songwriterSholom Sholem Secunda \u2013 composerSorinel Pustiu \u2013 composerJ\u00fcrgen Heusser \u2013 composerMehmet Akatay \u2013 percussionVeysel Samanl\u0131o\u011flu \u2013 viloin, electro midi violin, improvised lyricsTamer Karao\u011flu \u2013 accordion, keyboardTalat Karao\u011flu \u2013 clarinetG\u00f6ksun \u00c7avdar \u2013 wind instruments groupErkut G\u00f6kg\u00f6z \u2013 wind instruments group, flugelhornHasan G\u00f6zetlik \u2013 wind instruments groupG\u00fcndem \u2013 bowed string instruments groupMustafa S\u00fcder \u2013 solo violin, alto soprano saxophoneSelahattin G\u00fczelel \u2013 guitar, flamenco guitarMeltem Tuluk\u00e7u \u2013 choir member\u0130pek Kutbay \u2013 choir memberSeda Aksak \u2013 choir memberDeniz Pamuk \u2013 choir memberDeniz Pamuko\u011flu \u2013 choir memberH.
