On the show this time, it’s the propulsive poise and complexity of Nilüfer Yanya.
Nilüfer Yanya is a British singer-songwriter, from an artistic family with Turkish and Barbadian heritage. She writes pensive songs, centered around her breathy contralto and her original guitar style. You could sit and think about the equivocal lyrics, or you could get off your ass and dance.
Her latest is “My Method Actor” - as in she is her own, method actor - sort of learning to be herself by inhabiting herself fully. For this performance she played 5 songs from the album, which is available on Ninja Tune. Here’s Nilüfer Yanya - Live on KEXP.
Recorded October 26th, 2024
