Painted on Water: Sertab Erener & Demir Demirkan June 16, 2009

'Painted on Water' is the self-titled album project by the duo of vocalist Sertab Erener and composer/guitarist Demir Demirkan. It is a unique excursion through jazz, rock and the duo's own Turkish musical and cultural heritage. 'Painted on Water' moves in a warm, fluid, and organic way among jazz, modern rock, and pop-flavored vocal compositions featuring Erener's sensual, evocative lead, and fusion-jazz instrumentals anchored by Demirkan's guitar. Each of the album's songs is inspired by the melodies of Turkish Anatolian classical and folk music, with English lyrics written by Demirkan and by veteran No. 1 songsmith Phil Galdston.
