Disappointing!.......2007-06-15

He sounds like Justin Timberlake in this CD rather than his personal style. I agree with much that has been written here and I tend to think that this CD was catered for US charts. I'm not impressed with it and I also think his voice sounds much better in his native tongue of Turkish. This english CD sounds like it's going to be his only one. It's not bad but it's NOT Tarkan. If you're expecting a CD like Karma or Dudu this is nothing like them.

Tarkan is cooler than Tarzan!.......2007-05-13

Oh man, I fell in love with Tarkan in 3 hours. Buy this Cd. I'm not even Turkish and I'm in love with his songs! I'd say his Turkish albums are better... His turkish songs are more natural. His "Come Closer" album sounds like it's been waaaay aimed to succeed in the American music industry. Nonetheeless, this album is a MUST for Tarkan fans. :D

Not a lot of flava.......2006-12-28

I agree with Ay from New Jersey. I, too, am a huge fan of Tarkan, and was looking forward to this album. For me it turned out to be a bit of a bust. Here and there we get glimpses of his Turkish genius, but for the most part, "Come Closer" sounds like every other R&B Lite album out there. I was expecting a much more creative blend of East and West. It is unfortunate that the Pussycat Dolls' "Buttons" has more impact than much of the material on this album. It almost seems as if Tarkan were writing music to cater to "American" tastes, rather than writing from the heart. If this is the case, then Tarkan, be true to yourself. Your fans love your creativity.

I was closer before.......2006-11-15

This is a great CD if you take issue with listening to music recorded in a language not native to your own. Judging by Tarkan's already outrageous popularity, that really doesn't seem to be a problem. Therefore, if you are ALREADY a Tarkan fan you will not be over the moon with this CD. His Turkish language CD's are far surperior to this one and I think that's because he has tried to "tone down" the middle eastern flavor of his previous music in order to appeal to a more "main stream" (i.e. AMERICAN) audience. To those who are fond of a more "Western", less "ethnic" sound to their pop music, then you will love this CD. It's very dancey, it's well mixed, and Tarkan's voice is smoothe and silky as ever. I like the CD enough to give it 4 stars, but give me "Dudu" any day!

Tarkan is SO much better than this..........2006-11-12

OK, this is horrible. As a Turkish-American, I have been listening to Tarkan since I was about 16 (I am 30 now) and I absolutely adore his music. I was SO looking forward to this album- we have been saying that Americans would LOVE his style. This album, however, does not show his style and that "je ne sais quoi" that makes him a Euro-mega star. It sounds like a poor imitation of Britany Spears, N'Sync or Spice Girls circa 1999. Actually, I believe that some of his stuff resembles Wham from the early 80s, and again, not a flattering, fun Wham but a sad, poor imitation Wham. This album is the pits- American Customers, PLEASE oh PLEASE don't buy this, but please do buy "Kuzu Kuzu" or "Sikidim" or one of his other, older Turkish albums. Those are fantastic.

Long- awaited.......2006-11-03

I've been a Tarkan fan for years and it's a great first effort in English - well produced. It's a shame it's not getting the promotion it deserves because it's so much better than most of what's out there from North America.
