Ulviyya releases a new single - Turn Back (Geri Dön)

Ulviyya’s new single, Turn Back, (Geri Dön) isn’t her traditional jazz style. But it is a reflection of experiments with drugs and the struggle of getting clean. Even with the song Turn Back, singing directly to a singer's addiction, looking at what was broken, Ulviyya manages to express personal pain and the regret of hurting others. .

The line, ‘I haven’t filled on the days of life yet, I haven’t filled on my time with you’ shows a craving and desire that blends with the remorse and nostalgia of the song. 

Whether stuck in a morass of depression and sloth, or a whirlwind of parties, drugs, and illusions, Turn Back is a cry for return.

Ulviyya encores at the Caucasus Jazz Festival

On Sunday, May 9, the Caucasus jazz Festival held its final concert in the Tbilisi Philharmonic to an overflowing crowd. After the 300 seats filled, an additional 150 fans crowded into the back to view the performance. Fans also watched live online as the entire performance was streamed.

Singing with friends from Armenia and Georgia, Ulviyya provided vocals to one improvisation before providing the musical and philosophical finale to the evening with a funk version of ‘Come Together’. Come Together symbolizes her feeling that people of Armenia and Azerbaijan should come together despite whatever their leaders do. Politics brings war but music can unite!

As all the festival musicians poured onto the stage during the standing ovation, they spontaneously began to jam together, proving that applause can be fuel to musicians.

The evening finally concluded past midnight with Ulviyya singing ‘Mas Que Nada’ with all the Kavkaz Jazz Festival participants playing with her – multiple saxophones, trumpets, basses, drums, and other jazz instruments.

The concert was recorded and will be issued as a DVD in the near future.
