She started out as the vocalist in "The Bad." The Bad was an underground rock band like most other rock bands and they would perform gigs at clubs, often playing covers from other popular bands. In 1993, she met Şebnem Ferah, who has now also become another recognized rock musician in Turkey, and became the keyboard player of the successful all-female rock band Volvox. Özlem occasionally performed as the lead singer as well.
While still in Volvox, she met Hakan Peker and they started working on her debut solo album in 1994. This album, Kime Ne (literally, who cares?), was eventually released in January 1996 to widespread critical acclaim. The first single Aşk Herşeyi Affeder Mi? (Does love forgive everything?) shot to the top of the charts. Other hit tracks include Duvaksız Gelin (Bride without a veil) and Herkes Şanslı Doğmuyor (Not everyone is born lucky).
Özlem Tekin then left Hakan Peker's record label and went to İstanbul Plak (Istanbul Record) which also had acquired other popular singers like Tarkan. Her second album Öz (Pure) was released in February 1998. This spawned Yol (Road) which became an enormous hit.
Laubali (Care-free/Disrespectful) came out a year later to great success.
Özlem started up her own TV show on Kanal D called Yaz Rüzgarı (Summer Wind) in 2000. This aired for 1 hour, 5 days a week and received high ratings. In year 2003 she started acting in the TV series "Sil Baştan" (From Scratch). This show aired for 2 years, also with high ratings.
In 2005, she starred in the stage musical "Mucizeler Komedisi" (The Comedy of Miracles). That very year, her new album "10987654321" was released, which presented a much harder sound than her previous effort.
In 2006 she played in the Cem Yılmaz movie "Hokkabaz" (The Trickster).
In the same year,she also played in the tv movie "Maçolar" (Machos).
After this experiment, she received a nice surprise, a forest in her honor, owing to her tenth year in music sector. After a long preparation,the forest was completed and named as "Özlem Tekin-Bahar Ormanı (Özlem Tekin-Spring Forest)" by her fans.
In 2007, she played in another TV movie "Fesupanallah" (Gosh) and nowadays she is preparing for her new project which is a theatre play "Kim O" (Who's That). Özlem Tekin will share the roles with a famous Turkish thespian Metin Serezli in this project.
In 2008, she started a new TV show in one of the most famous national music channels in Turkey, Kral TV. The show's name is "Hiperaktif" (Hyperactive), which is well-suited for Özlem's personality. Özlem is also fully suitable for the program format in her second TV announcer experience after "Yaz Rüzgarı" (Summer Breeze).

Özlem Tekin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ben de seni
Bir zaman sonra sevgi ucuzlukta
Olmuşuz laubali, olmuşuz laubali
Laubali la la laubali
Laubali la la la la la la
Özledim seni
Sen de beni
Olmuşuz laubali, olmuşuz laubali
The lyrics of Özlem Tekin's song "Laubali" express the shift in a romantic relationship where love has become cheapened over time. The lyrics suggest that the two people in the relationship are no longer as committed or invested in each other as they once were, and that their love has become "laubali," which could be translated as being careless or reckless in their feelings for each other. Despite this, they have a strong sense of longing and fond memories of each other, even though they are physically close, they have grown emotionally distant.
The repetition of the phrase "olmuşuz laubali" throughout the song emphasizes the idea of how the relationship has transformed from one of passion to one of indifference, and how this has affected both individuals. The final line "olmuşuz laubali" suggests that their current state is a result of their actions and that they have allowed their love to become carefree and unimportant.
Overall, the lyrics of "Laubali" speak to the complexities of love, particularly as it changes over time. It captures the bittersweet feeling of holding onto fond feelings for someone while acknowledging that they may no longer reciprocate those emotions or that the relationship has shifted into something less meaningful.
