Kiss Kiss (3:24)

“Kiss Kiss” is the debut single by American recording artist Stella Soleil. The single is a cover/remake of the Turkish song “Şımarık” by Tarkan. The English version was written by Juliette Jaimes, Sezen Aksu and Steve Welton-Jaimes. The single was released to mainstream radio in April 2001. The single was also released in regions of Europe, excluding the UK.

Australian singer Holly Valance made another cover in 2002, but unlike Soleil’s version, Valance’s cover does not follow identically to the original version. Soleil’s version even features the original sound effect for the “kiss” in the song.

“Kiss Kiss” is the debut single by Australian singer Holly Valance. Her version is a remake of the 2001 version by Stella Soleil. Soleil’s version is the original English version, however it is a remake of the popular Turkish pop song “Şımarık” by Tarkan. The single was released in April 2002 in Australia and United Kingdom, and shot straight to number one in both countries.

The music video for Valance’s version featured her in a range of costumes with several male performers. The director’s cut of the video appeared on television featuring Valance apparently naked. She maintains that she was not naked, and from the video, all that can be seen are well placed lights protecting her breasts and genitalia.
