Nilüfer Yanya has shared a new single from her forthcoming album Painless. It’s called “The Dealer,” and you can check it out below.
“When I was writing this song I was thinking about the transient nature of life and the cyclical nature of the seasons,” Yanya said of her new single in a press release. “I find it interesting how we attach certain memories and feelings to different seasons and tend to revisit them time and time again, yet our lives move in a more linear motion and even when we feel like we are going back we never really get to go back anywhere. Musically speaking it’s a bit more playful and relaxed.”
Yanya has shared a string of singles from Painless, starting with “Stabilise” in November. She’s also issued “Midnight Sun” and “AnotherLife.” Painless arrives Friday (March 4) via ATO. The new record follows Yanya’s 2019 debut LP Miss Universe, and last year’s Feeling Lucky? EP. She heads out on tour behind Painless next month.
