The roots of traditional music in Turkey spans across centuries to a time when the Seljuk Turks colonized Anatolia and Persia in the 11th century and contains elements of both Turkic and pre-Turkic influences. Much of its modern popular music can trace its roots to the emergence in the early 1930s drive for Westernization.
With the absorbance of immigrants from various regions the diversity of musical genres and musical instrumentation also expanded. Turkey has also seen documented folk music and recorded popular music produced in the ethnic styles of Armenian, Greek, Polish, Azeri and Jewish communities, among others. Many Turkish cities and towns have vibrant local music scenes which, in turn, support a number of regional musical styles. Despite this however, western-style pop music lost popularity to arabesque in the late 70s and 80s, with even its greatest proponents Ajda Pekkan and Sezen Aksu falling in status. It became popular again by the beginning of the 1990s, as a result of an opening economy and society. With the support of Aksu, the resurging popularity of pop music gave rise to several international Turkish pop stars such as Tarkan and Sertab Erener. The late 1990s also saw an emergence of underground music producing alternative Turkish rock, electronica, hip-hop, rap and dance music in opposition to the mainstream corporate pop and arabesque genres, which many believe have become too commercial.

내 손을 잡아 어서
널 나에게 맡겨줘
Real live 바람을 타고 번져
시작은 작은 불꽃
타올라 뜨거워
우린 저 멀리 먼 곳까지
뛰어봐 더 숨이 찰 때까지
열정 혹은 냉정 사이
이런 나를 감당할 수 있니?
What's your blood type? Oh, you?
I'm blue
Yeah, what's your blood type? Oh, you?
I'm blue
이 고귀한 마음에 흐르는 기품
Yeah, what's your blood type? Oh, you?
I'm blue, blue, blue
물불 안 가리고
흠뻑 뛰어들어 적셔
나의 이 색깔로
잊지 마, 나는 다 가져야 돼
웃지 마, 긴장해 다
들어봐 거친 파도 소리
느껴봐 내 심장 박동 소리
달아오른 이 분위기
멈추지 마 해가 뜰 때까지
What's your blood type? Oh, you?
I'm blue
Yeah, what's your blood type? Oh, you?
I'm blue
이 고귀한 마음에 흐르는 기품
Yeah, what's your blood type? Oh, you?
I'm blue, blue, blue
I'm blue, blue, blue
(I'm blue, blue, blue)
What's your blood type? Oh, you?
넌 blue
Yeah, what's your blood type? Oh, you?
넌 blue
그 뜨겁고 투명한 마음은 넌 blue
Yeah, what's your blood type? Oh, you?
넌 blue, blue, blue
The lyrics to Ive's song "Blue Blood" convey a sense of urgency and passion. In the beginning, the singer asks for someone's hand and urges them to trust and rely on them. They describe how the flame starts small but quickly becomes intense and hot. The singer then suggests going far away, pushing themselves until they are out of breath, and questioning if the other person can handle them between their passion and coldness.
The chorus asks about the blood type of the listener and reveals that the singer is "blue" in response. This color represents their noble heart and dignity. They emphasize the importance of not forgetting about their unique color and their need to possess everything. They caution against laughter and advise the listener to stay on guard.
The next verse encourages the listener to listen closely to the sounds of rough waves and feel the rhythm of the singer's heartbeat. They encourage the atmosphere to keep going until the sun rises.
The final chorus repeats the question about the listener's blood type and reaffirms their "blue" status. It reinforces the idea that the listener possesses a passionate and transparent heart that is "blue."

Wow, wow, the middle eastern instrumentals in the chorus was such a fantastic prize for me!!! Love their vocals here, very sweet song!!
Nolman Z
I would say it’s more Andalus instruments, from Maghreb and Southern Spain
Stars 🌟
@Nolman Z I'll just say both, because this type of instrumental music is heard in Arabic/Assyrian songs.
Nolman Z
