Remember that crush you had who gave you butterflies? Then the first kiss felt like a fairytale. “Tiny Kiss” by Singer Muratti is one of those heartfelt renaissance songs with a melody so memorable you’ll feel like you want to dance in your favorite Rom-Com. We had the pleasure of interviewing Singer Muratti, and here’s what he had to say:
Q: What was your vision behind creating “Tiny Kisses”?
MURATTI: The goosebumps, the heartache, and the relentless thoughts of the other person. Falling in love is scary because I still don’t have the answer to this question: Is the satisfaction killer of desire? Is this the reason why the greatest loves always have unhappy endings? Romeo / Juliet, Cleopatra / Mark Anthony, Pushkin / Anna Petrovna, Ferhat/Shirin.
Hence there is bad love (platonic and painful) and good love (mutual). But the bad one can become the greatest and last a lifetime, while the good one is still great but may last three years.
It’s fantastic that if you love someone, they can do nothing about it. They don’t have to love you back, though, as the famous Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet wrote: “The apple doesn’t need to love you back if you love the apple.”This song is similar to keeping the best dessert to the last and not about immediately overindulging in single-serving sugar. It is love at first sight, but the one starts with a tiny kiss. It is the good one but also a long-lasting one. It’s about a lifetime thought.
Q: What is your favorite Rom-Com Movie? Could you see your new single “Tiny Kisses” featured in one?
MURATTI: Pretty Woman. Because it’s about how love has no rules, and I know it already has a fantastic theme song. Still, it could feature my music, too, because I can imagine Edward trying to convince Vivian to break her rule and kiss him.
Q: I see your latest single “Moonlight” has been trending on Tik-Tok – how does that make you feel when you see your music has impacted others?
MURATTI: Honestly, I have not thought much about my music’s impact. In the past, I used to sing songs that I thought people would like and in a way that I thought I should sing. Nowadays, I make and sing songs the way I love to make them. I don’t know if this is better, but that’s how I ingrain a piece of myself into the song.
Q: What is your creative process like?
MURATTI: I am so grateful because, thanks to technology and the internet, I can work with a very talented group of musicians worldwide. Each one significantly impacts the overall result. When recording, I never aim to get a perfect take because I believe singing is never meant to be flawless. An AI already can or, in the future, will make music, but it will never make it human.
Q: We love the soul in your voice and know your desire is to inspire, motivate and spread love. Who are your biggest influences?
MURATTI: Thank you so much. I love you back too, this time? (haha). My influences mainly are my family, my parents, and close friends. My musical influences are mostly classical. Enrico Caruso, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Luciano Pavarotti and Sergei Lemeshev. Opera is a great love that did not maybe love me back and instead beat me. But still.
Q: What is one message you would give to your fans?
MURATTI: Love will find us all. It will hurt us all. God damm*t it’s the only thing that will save us all.
