Türkiye’s genre-blending girl group Manifest ignites a new era in pop music with their powerful new single, “KTS (Kalbimin Tek Sahibi),” a confident and culturally rich anthem that blends early 2000s R&B flavor with cutting-edge trap-inspired production. Following a viral leak during a surprise broadcast, “KTS” has already become a defining moment for the group—an accidental reveal turned cultural phenomenon.
From the moment the bassline hits, “KTS” oozes swagger. The production is sleek and hypnotic, filled with smooth vocal harmonies, punchy percussion, and emotional undertones that underline the group’s message of empowerment and self-possession. Sung entirely in Turkish, the track channels the timeless power of girl groups like Destiny’s Child while weaving in regional textures and a forward-thinking sound reminiscent of Rosalía’s genre-hopping style. It’s distinctly Manifest—global in appeal, but proudly rooted in their identity.
Manifest’s journey began on the survival show Big5 Türkiye, and their evolution into a six-member powerhouse—Sueda, Hilal, Lidya, Mina, Zeynep, and Esin—has only strengthened their dynamic. Their debut single “Zamansızdık” racked up over 12 million streams, proving their potential as breakout stars. But “KTS” takes things to a new level. it’s a manifesto for a new kind of pop—one that isn’t afraid to be local and global, fierce and vulnerable, familiar and fresh.
With their debut album set to drop on June 13, Manifest is ready to redefine what international pop can look and sound like. “KTS” is more than just a hit—it’s a cultural reset, and Manifest is leading the charge.
