⋘ ────── About the song ────── ⋙
The song Viens dans ma Vie from the vinyl « Viens Dans Ma Vie / Face A Face Avec Moi » released in 1977 by the Odeon Musik label from Istanbul.
I fell in love with the melody and the lyrics. This beautiful love story is interpreted to perfection in French by the Turkish singer Ajda Pekkan (Turkish pronunciation: [aʒˌda pe̞kkan]).
Subsequently I discovered in Turkey the immense discography of Ajda nicknamed the « superstar of Turkish pop music ». An incredible career spanning more than 5 decades and more than 42 million copies sold worldwide.
I worked with the musician Patrice Komlanz to add harmonies to the mood of the song with wind instruments and add more beats.
“Viens dans ma vie »· comes with the spring, like a love song.
