Come Closer is the debut English language album by Turkish pop singer Tarkan. The album was published in Europe, Asia, Japan, North America, South America, Australia. It was released by Universal Records on April 7, 2006, in Europe and Central Asia. Tarkan began recording the album in 1997, following the success of his third Turkish release Ölürüm Sana that year.[2] Referring to the album's title, Tarkan said:
"I think that my music is very unique and connects both worlds. That's the reason why I named my album Come Closer. I believe in cultural sharing, in the idea of we-belong-altogether. In my opinion, music should have no borders and we should all try to come closer".[3]
In August 2005, a number of songs recorded for the album were leaked onto the internet by a Turkish DJ.[4] The leaked songs garnered considerable airplay in dance clubs in Turkey, before Tarkan's management took legal action against the DJs playing the songs.[5]
