In April 2026, Arsen Bekirov recorded 31 songs in Istanbul with Grammy-winning producer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Zomba Prison Project). The material spans the life cycle of Crimean Tatar song tradition — from lullabies to wedding songs — and includes a cycle in memory of the 1944 deportation.
Arsen's debut solo EP "Qirim" — nine original tracks bridging Crimean Tatar melodic tradition with contemporary ethno-pop. The music video for "Seni Seven" received the QARADENIZ Production award. The release is available on YouTube Music, Spotify, VK Music and other platforms.
