June 18, 2026 - Internationally acclaimed Turkish actress and performer Beren (aka Beren Saat) today releases her debut EP, Exuberance, via Dola Music and The Orchard. Available now on all streaming platforms, the six-track English-language project blends electronic pop, R&B, blues and Anatolian influences into a fearless statement of self-discovery, empowerment and artistic reinvention.
Co-produced by multi-platinum artist Kenan Doğulu and mixed by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer Brendan Morawski (Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Rihanna), Exuberance finds Beren embracing music as a vehicle for personal expression after years of bringing other people's stories to life on screen. The EP balances contemporary pop production with subtle nods to her Turkish roots, creating a sound that feels both intimate and expansive.
"Exuberance is about allowing yourself to be fully and unapologetically who you are," says Beren. "Creating a sound that reflects my feelings and tells my stories has been one of the best experiences of my life. "
The EP features contributions from acclaimed musicians and creatives, including Michael League (Snarky Puppy) on bass, while the visual world surrounding the project was developed with MTV VMA Award-winning director Ecem Lawton, choreographer Marvin Brown (Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, Britney Spears), and stylist Joey Thao, known for his work on Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance.
The release arrives on the heels of the breakout success of lead single "CapitaliZoo," which reached #1 on YouTube Music Video Trends and earned editorial support across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more, while introducing audiences worldwide to Beren's musical vision. The song's official music video has amassed more than 2.7 million views and continues to gain momentum internationally.
