Nilüfer Yanya – Dancing Shoes
Nilüfer Yanya is back to announce a new EP Dancing Shoes due July 2nd via Ninja Tune.
Alongside the announcement Nilüfer shares a new single “Where To Look.”
The song opens with a stripped back guitar strumming and builds into a powerful crescendo. Speaking about the new single Nilüfer shares, “We started writing this song for the album, but it was tricky to get it off the ground at that time. Then when we came back from tour, it suddenly clicked. Melodically it’s one of my favourite things ever. Very glad I was able to give it the time and breathing space that it needed.”
Dancing Shoes was written alongside a collection of tracks that Nilüfer re-approached with her creative partner Wilma Archer when she returned from touring her latest record. The new single follows previous track “Cold Heart” that will be included on the EP.
The forthcoming EP follows Nilüfer Yanya’s latest album My Method Actor, which was released to overwhelming critical praise.
Following the EP release Nilüfer will be heading on tour across North America with Alex G this Fall. The tour begins in Boston on September 11th with stops in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and more. Throughout the tour Nilüfer will be performing select headline dates in Richmond, Amherst, Omaha and Sacramento. Following the North American run Nilüfer will then pick up to tour with Lorde for a string of shows across the UK in November. Nilüfer will also be performing at select European festivals over the summer including Glastonbury, Green Man, All Points East, Primavera a la Ciutat, Best Kept Secret, and Way Out West.
