It’s the follow-up to her renowned 2019 debut album \u003cem\u003eMiss Universe\u003c\/em\u003e, which fully established her as a singular artist and a distinctive voice that simply has to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the daughter of two visual artists (her Irish-Barbadian mother is a textile designer and her Turkish-born father’s work is exhibited at the British Museum) creativity was always destined for Nilüfer Yanya’s future. Now she enters the next stage of her creative journey, Yanya is running head first into the depths of emotional vulnerability on her sophomore record \u003cem\u003ePainless\u003c\/em\u003e. The album was recorded between a basement studio in Stoke Newington and Riverfish Music in Penzance with \u003cem\u003eMiss Universe\u003c\/em\u003e collaborator and producer Wilma Archer, Deek Recordings founder Bullion, Big Thief producer Andrew Sarlo, and musician Jazzi Bobbi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere \u003cem\u003eMiss Universe\u003c\/em\u003e stretched musical boundaries to include a litany of styles from smooth jazz melodies to radio ready pop, \u003cem\u003ePainless\u003c\/em\u003e takes a more direct sonic approach. By narrowing down her previously broad palette to a handful of robust ideas that revolve around melancholy harmonies and looped industrial beats to mimic the insular focus of the lyrics, Yanya has smoothed out the idiosyncrasies of previous releases without losing what is essential to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePainless\u003c\/em\u003e is a record that forces the listener to sit with the discomfort that accompanies so many of life’s biggest challenges whether it be relationship breakdowns, coping with loneliness, or the search for our inner self. “It’s a record about emotion,” Yanya explains. “I think it’s more open about that in a way that \u003cem\u003eMiss Universe\u003c\/em\u003e wasn’t because there’s so many cloaks and sleeves with the concept I built around it.” She adds, summing up the ethos of the new album, “I’m not as scared to admit my feelings”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATO","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black Vinyl","offer_id":48440999641433,"sku":"SDZ-25922","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Nilufer_Yanya_-_Painless_-_LP_Vinyl.jpg?v=1717059629","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/nilufer-yanya-painless","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
