Come Closer is the debut English language album by Turkish pop singer Tarkan. 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. Referring to the album's title, Tarkan said:
"I think that my music is very unique [sic] 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".
In August 2005, a number of songs recorded for the album were leaked onto the internet by a Turkish DJ. The leaked songs garnered considerable airplay in dance clubs in Turkey, before Tarkan's management took legal action against the DJ's playing the songs.
Tarkan was about to release his U.S Remix album featuring Wyclef Jean and Miri Ben-Ari. Pete "Boxsta" Martin remixed the entire album. The album was recorded in L.A at Westlake Studio, N.Y at Sony Music Studio and London at The Matrix Studio Complex. Pete remixed the original versions from his debut English album "Come Closer". There were supposed to be two new tracks added in as well.
It was going to be released worldwide in 2008.
