We’ve been enraptured in everything Nilüfer Yanya puts her hand to over the past 12 months, and it’s only going to get bigger with new number ‘Thanks 4 Nothing’ bringing the intoxicating vibes once again
Taking that unmistakeable voice and the plucking realms she pulls over everyone, it’s another infectious and real blending of guitar-pop shine and sultry chimes that proves why her voice is an essential part of 2018’s soundtrack and beyond.
Detailing the track, Nilüfer explained that it’s about “drawing a final line under something that should have ended a long time ago. The song shows you can be bitter and grateful about it at the same time”.
It comes with a fresh new video directed by creative duo ENERGYFORCE, with Nilüfer having a clear vision of what she wanted to accomplish. “We wanted to make the Handmaid’s Tale meets Pulp Fiction. It carries a strong outdated 70s vibe with occult twists where nothing really goes according to plan and nothing really happens. This echoes both the current political climate and the inner failings of a relationship, both cult like in their own way and blindly following one another. Shot on 16mm film for that cinematic effect”
With her next step, comes even bigger stages – with a fresh UK and European tour announced today spanning across the continent and including nights in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Istanbul, Cardiff, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds to name but a few – along with Nilüfer’s biggest headline show to date at London’s Village Underground on May 29th. She’s also set for stellar slots at SXSW and The Great Escape this year to boot.
