Suzan Sabanci Dinçer is all too familiar with banking crises and their devastating effects. A scion of one of Turkey's most famous business dynasties, she is chairwoman of Akbank, the country's biggest privately owned bank. Back in 2001, she lived through a meltdown of the Turkish banking system and a terrifying 9.5% one-year drop in gross domestic product.

The lyrics, as well as Earley’s moaning of the word “Love,” have an echo of The Who’s “Love, Reign O’er Me” yet boast none of that song’s vast beauty. While “Reign” stands out as one of The Who’s strongest and best songs, “Love U” is discordant and lyrically lackluster, demonstrating that, while...
