After a long hiatus, he announced his new album's first single "Martılar" in 2021. "Martılar" became one of the most streamed Turkish pop songs on Spotify. A dance challenge based on its official music video was launched on TikTok. Later on, Edis released the second single from his upcoming album, titled "Arıyorum". It garnered 130 million views on YouTube in 5 months. A third single, called "Yalancı", was released in July 2022. In an interview with Hürriyet about his upcoming album, he said: "It's gonna be a revolution I want every single song to be understood. This is why I make sure my fans get used to my sonic evolutions."
Artistry
Edis can play guitar and piano but does not consider himself a professional instrumentalist.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.aparatmag.com/edis|title=Edis|magazine=Aparat Mag|issue=4|date=June 2015|accessdate=3 June 2015|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20150603090120/http://www.aparatmag.com/edis|archivedate=3 June 2015}} His first single "Benim Ol" is said to have classical elements, and Onur Baştürk of Hürriyet considers it similar to the songs of 1990s. Edis wrote his first song at the age of ten "just to attract interest". As he grew older he worked on the lyrics again and considers his attempts to write a song successful. He is a fan of Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Sezen Aksu and Tarkan. During his childhood he mostly listened to Barış Manço, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. After listening to Sting's "Desert Rose" he decided to include elements of both Western and Eastern music in his work.
In terms of fashion, Edis sees himself as a bit prejudiced and chooses famous brands more often. He thinks a lot about his style and cares about looking good.
