gözde kanyilmaz delivers a stunning alt-indie reckoning

powerplay arrives in a restless and charged way, built from frustration that feels both personal and shared. it carries a slow-burn intensity, letting anger and exhaustion surface without turning them into noise. the track feels honest and exposed, and we love it.

Gözde Kanyilmaz, based between london and istanbul, writes music that sits at the intersection of intimacy and confrontation. recorded in london, her sound blends indie rock and alternative pop with raw, journal-like songwriting, pairing incredible vocals with guitars that slowly tighten the tension.

as a whole, powerplay feels urgent, reflective, and quietly defiant. it channels political fatigue into something human and relatable, never preachy, just painfully current. this is protest music that stays with you, and we can’t wait to hear more.
