🎤 Kalben

About

Kalben is a Turkish singer-songwriter from Istanbul whose music blends folk, indie and acoustic pop with intimate, poetic lyrics. A Sofar Sounds session that went viral - over five million YouTube views - launched her career, and she has since won several major Turkish music awards. Songs like "Sadece" and "Yara" cemented her reputation as one of Turkey's most distinctive voices. Her 2026 album Land of Lost Poets marks a darker, more atmospheric turn in her songwriting.
