Nilüfer Yanya announces second album with lead cut "stabilise"
Nilüfer Yanya is back with news of her upcoming second album PAINLESS, and has shared new cut "stabilise" as the first outing.
"stabilise"is Yanya's first new material of the year, following last summer's "Day 7" that was debuted during her NPR Tiny Desk (Home) Concert.
Yanya says of the song and the Molly Daniel-directed video, "I was really thinking about your surroundings and how much they influence or change your perception of things. A lot of the city is just grey and concrete, there's no escape. The video plays on the central theme in the song of no one coming to save you ever. It’s set in the depths of reality in everyday life where we are the only one’s truly capable of salvaging or losing ourselves. Nothing is out there -both a depressing and reassuring statement (depending on how you look at it). Sometimes you have to dress up as a spy or a rock star and just hope for the best."
PAINLESS will follow Yanya's 2019 debut LP Miss Universe, and according to the artist, it's a "record about emotion." Yanya adds, "I think it's more open about that in a way that Miss Universe wasn't because there's so many cloaks and sleeves with the concept I built around it."
