Apayrı

Apayrı (Disparate) is the fourth studio album by Turkish singer Hande Yener. It was released on 6 January 2006 by Erol Köse Production. Yener, who created her own style of music in the minds of her listeners and music writers with her first albums, began questioning her works and choices after the release of her third studio album Aşk Kadın Ruhundan Anlamıyor (2004), which caused her unrest. Her dissatisfaction with her songs led her to turn to a different style of music compared to her previous works. Erdem Kınay and Mete Özgencil, who had previously worked on a few number of her songs, prepared a large part of this album and these musicians played a significant role in the development of the album in general.

Apayrı, which is a dance-pop and house album in general, includes various features from different styles in its songs such as funk, R&B, rock and synth-pop. Inspired by dance music styles popular in the United States and Europe in the 1980s, the work was prepared especially under the influence of the music of Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams. Yener changed not only the style of her music but also the lyrics in her songs. The lyrics that were mainly concerned with challenging her beloved in the previous albums were now replaced by more relaxing words and discussed the mutual pain of love in this album. By adopting a new vocal technique in her songs, Yener used more docile and different tones compared to her previous works.
