Music videos

* "Kuzu Kuzu" (Two videos were filmed for this song, including one for an acoustic version released in the single of the same name.)
* "Hüp" (Two videos were filmed for this song, including one for a remixed version released in the single "Hüp 8". The video filmed for the original edit was directed by Italian director Ferzan Özpetek. Under the sponsorship of Pepsi it was the most expensive Turkish music video ever produced, which also caused scandal with Tarkan using his tongue to kiss his on-screen lady.)
* "Verme" (Two different versions were filmed for this song. The second version focuses on the effect of war on children, and was the first Turkish music video to use metamorphic special effects.)

Extra info

His successful musical collaborations with Sezen Aksu that created such songs as "Şımarık" and "Şıkıdım" is absent from this album. The album was recorded in Istanbul, Los Angeles, New York, Egypt and Europe. Seen as his attempt to push the ethnic style into the mainstream, with motifs taken from all across the world, commentators have labelled this as Tarkan's first authentic crossover project. The album's title "Karma" means mixed or crossover in Turkish, as well standing for the Karma philosophy behind the release.

As an introduction in the CD booklet, Tarkan explains the Karma philosophy and introduces the concept of using marbleization art on his album cover [ [http://tarkantr.blogspot.com/2005/06/karma-booklet-notes.html Karma Booklet Notes] ] . - "courtesy of Ali Yildirim"
