Nilüfer's Vocal Techniques and Songs:

Nilüfer's voice is characterized by its clarity, power, and emotional range. She has a mezzo-soprano voice with a wide range of notes, which she uses to create various vocal textures and dynamics to express the lyrics and emotions of her songs.

One of Nilüfer's unique techniques is her use of vibrato, which she uses to great effect in songs such as "Senden Başka" and "Kavaklar". Vibrato is a rapid, slight variation in pitch that adds warmth and expressiveness to her voice.

In "Erkekler", Nilüfer demonstrates her control over dynamics, switching smoothly between soft, intimate vocals to powerful, belted notes, which makes the song emotionally engaging.
