Some debut albums hold the power to reshape our understanding of music. British singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya’s first full-length ’Miss Universe’ possesses that rare quality. After a handful of promising uploads to SoundCloud and a few EPs, Yanya revealed her full potential on this masterful piece or art. It’s minimalistic, eclectic, and intricate – simultaneously drawing from jazz, R&B, and indie rock. Luckily, she hasn’t stopped putting out great music. In 2022 we received the equally eclectic ‘PAINLESS’ and last year Nilüfer Yanya’s third studio album, My Method Actor, was released through Ninja Tune. My Method Actor was crowned with Pitchfork’s Best New Music label and has truly taken Yanya’s career to the next level. Do not miss the truly original Nilüfer Yanya at Way Out West 2025!
