Long tipped as a vocalist to watch, Ahu steps softly from the shadows of her lauded guest appearances to deliver To:Love.It’s a captivating performance from the Turkish singer whose unique style might be found somewhere between traditional soul and the studied remove of the likes of Broadcast’s Trish Keenan. If there’s poignancy in her delivery, there is hope in the lyrics: it’s a song about the calm and freedom felt by lovers after they split.

I introduced Ahu Kelesoglu to you, some weeks ago. Here is the latest release of OneHandedMusic. To: Love is produced by Paul White, one my favourite producers and the Remix is produced by no less a figure than Dimlite. Good day..
Fact Magazin:The young Turkish singer, full name Ahu Kelesoglu, has already built up quite a reputation for her collaborations with Flying Lotus, Mr Beatnick and others – it was she, under the name Dolly, who contributed the sublime, dusky vocal to Flying Lotus’s ‘Robertaflack’. Increasingly focussing on solo work inspired by house, techno, the golden age of jazz singers, European movie soundtracks and much else besides, we reckon Ahu’s really going to be one to watch in the months and years that lie ahead. We took the opportunity to ask her a few questions, and she reciprocated not only with some informative answers but with an exclusive mixtape for FACT as well. A wonderful audio tour of our girl’s formative influences and current interests alike, it includes music from Brigitte Bardot, Daedalus and Matthew Herbert, not to mention two unreleased tracks by Portishead’s Beth Gibbons. Listen, read and enjoy.
