Album and single reviews from the Turk Beats editorial desk
Single
Tamer
There is something immediately appealing about “Small City”, the latest release from Tamer. At 3:52, it takes its time rather than chasing the compressed urgency of modern pop, allowing atmosphere, melody and vocal expression to develop naturally. The track appears on Tamer’s 17-track album Until The End Of Time, released on September 25, 2026, and sits within a broader R&B and soul framework that gives the project a polished contemporary identity.
