Nilüfer Yanya Releases New Song “Just A Western”
London-based singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya will release her upcoming third studio album “My Method Actor” this Friday (September 13).
From the album, she released the sixth and final pre-release single called “Just A Western” on September 10, 2024.
The song received its first play during BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.
The track was written by Nilüfer Yanya, and Will Archer who also produced it.
The accompanying music visualiser was directed by Molly Daniel.
Nilüfer Yanya said of the song, “The melody feels freeing to me, but the lyrics are 'there's no way in, no way out' and the concept is about facing your fate. I don't know if I believe in fate but it feels real in the song.”- The new album is her first release under her new label Ninja Tune and comprises 11-songs.
Nilüfer Yanya wrote and recorded the album with producer Wilma Archer only them.
Nilüfer Yanya said of the album, “This is the most intense album, in that respect. Because it's only been us two. We didn't let anyone else into the bubble.”
She added, “For me, writing is definitely problem-solving - in the way they say that dreaming is like problem-solving. You're like, oh, that sounds good. That looks good. That makes sense. But you don't really know why. You're kind of using that part of your creative brain that doesn't have to make sense.” -
