‘İçimde aşk var’(2012)1th album
“While I was creating my songs, I didn’t want to keep a single genre. Combining jazz music with my musical genre which I improved years by years was the only thing what I wanted to preserve. Looking at the album, I wanted each song to have a specific individual character while the solidarity of the all songs can clearly felt.
You will hear a woman’s voice, shouting her inner voice which is in a dilemma with her heart and her brain, her contradictions, fears and hopes…“

‘Zarf Tümleci’ (AN “ADVERBIAL CLAUSE”)(2014) 2th album
When musical products get industrialized, their emotions go in to shortcuts. Shortcuts, fast steps and just then they transform to merchandises suitable for consumption.
Courage.
Sensibility to the local society.
And individuality at creation.
The sales products of the music world that we call ‘the albums’, sometimes orientates all these emotions only for a short while. That type of products, in which we do not feel innovation and mind fullness are listened anyhow, consumed and switched to the next. As the time goes by, they do not even transform into nostalgic concept.
Just through this chaos, “Zarf Tümleci” is in our life.
Terminologically, Adverbial Clause is a word or group of words that are complementing the verbs but for the music, it has probably the most urban, most brave, most artistic and most individual meaning as per ŞenayLambaoğlu.ŞenayLambaoğlu who has been performing together with significant jazz musicians locally and abroad for many years and who is shown as one of the most important jazz vocalists of the new era in reference to the festivals she had attended, plays the role of an urban woman bard after “İçimdeAşkVar”.
On top of that, in its most artistic aspect without waiting for a locomotive composition.
On top of that, together with master musicians again in the second album.
On top of that, out of fabrication perception with the exposition of 4 arrangers.
…And for the eight songs, with the lyrics and composition of a woman’s encourage.
Inside there is; the mark of İlhan Şeşen, “KadifedenKesesi”, even an Armenian folk song which sounds like GomitasVartabed, connective and complementary power of jazz and the deep shadows of master musicians.Accumulatedfaces and different worlds.
