Kraliçe

Kraliçe (Queen) is the tenth studio album by Turkish singer Hande Yener. It was released on 12 December 2012 by Poll Production. It was Yener's first studio album since the 2011 release of Teşekkürler and included elements of pop music. All of the songs on the album were written by Sinan Akçıl, the third and last of Hande Yener's albums to have Akçıl as its sole songwriter. The album was produced by Polat Yağcı and Akçıl.

Kraliçe, which includes an introductory speech, eights songs and three remixes, was, in Hande Yener's opinion, an album that covered all of the music styles she had experimented with so far. The album was initially going to be titled Hasta, but after Akçıl wrote the song "Kraliçe" they decided to name the work after this song. The album's title and release date were announced on the billboards in the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League match between Fenerbahçe and AEL teams in Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on 8 November 2012. The album's content and photos received mixed feedback from music critics. Some compared the songs to the ones found in Yener's 2004 album Aşk Kadın Ruhundan Anlamıyor and 2006 album Apayrı, while others criticized the use of the title Kraliçe believing that it should not have been chosen by Yener for this album. The music video for the lead single "Hasta" was released on 6 December 2012 and the song ranked second on Turkey's official music chart. The album's last and final music video was made and released for "Bir Bela".

Kraliçe ranked third on D&R's list of best-selling albums in Turkey, sold 79,000 copies by the end of 2012 and received the Best Album award at the Mimar Sinan University Awards and Siyaset Dergisi Awards. The promotions for the album were interrupted due to the death of Yener's father, Erol Özyener, on 30 December 2012. Due to her father's death, Yener did not perform anywhere for two months. On 27 May 2013 Kraliçe together with the new single "Ya Ya Ya Ya" and its remixes were released as a two-disc edition under the title Kraliçe + Ya Ya Ya Ya.
