BODUR is here to channel musical art into an exploration of self. The London-born Turkish-Sri Lankan artist harnesses an alternative electronic soundscape to embrace her dual heritage and layered identities. From the EP title to her visual aesthetics, BODUR’s creative process is shaping her as an artist who is inspiring a generation of South Asian and Middle Eastern women across the UK. Delicately capturing three stages of transformation and documenting a journey of self-acceptance, BODUR’s 3-track EP can only be described as mesmerising, sensual and powerful. Effortlessly weaving through themes of youth, growth and rebirth, ÖZ offers a political and personal project showcasing her natural virtuosity. Translated from Turkish, ÖZ means ‘self’, and that’s exactly what this collection of songs are diving into. According to BODUR, each track can be viewed as a microcosm; “I’m zooming in on particular stages of people’s lives that are particularly transformative.”
