Pro Reviews: Come Closer (Ger)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Come Closer is Tarkan's first Englishlanguage album after several years as a Madonnalevel superstar in his native Turkey. With his wellscrubbed, boyish looks, blueeyedsoul voice and fondness for eargrabbing, gimmicky arrangements a la the Neptunes, Tarkan comes across like a Turkish Justin Timberlake. On the best parts of Come Closer, particularly the first single "Bounce" and the insistently catchy "Why Don't We (Aman Aman)" (which comes complete with a cameo by Wyclef Jean), Tarkan strikes a delicate balance between creamy dancepop goodness and cheesy, overproduced plasticity. A few songs fall too far on the wrong side of that balance, such as the irritating "Start the Fire" (which sounds oddly like a bad ripoff of George Michael's "Faith") and the hyperactive, Black Eyed Peaslike "Don't Leave Me Alone," but on songs like the snaky electrobelly dance "Shikidim" and the dreamy love jam of a title track, Tarkan makes all the right moves. Much as happened when Shakira did the Englishlanguage crossover with Laundry Service, longtime fans and pancultural hipsters might blanch at how thoroughly Americanized this take on commercial dancepop is, but fans of the form will find much to love regardless. - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide |
