Official Audio — Selami Sahin Ben Sevdali Sen Belali
Released a modern 4K lyric video and cover in 2025 as part of the Selami Şahin Şarkıları 3 tribute project.
While Şahin's version is the definitive original, the song has been reimagined by several major Turkish artists:
"Ben Sevdalı Sen Belalı" is a cornerstone of Turkish Arabesque-Pop, originally written and composed by the legendary Selami Şahin in 1994. This official audio track, which appears on the 1995 album İlle de Sen , is actually the original "demo" vocal. Despite recording the song over 30 times, Şahin and his arranger found they couldn't recreate the raw emotion of that first take. 🎵 Composition & Sound Selami Sahin Ben Sevdali Sen Belali Official Audio
