• Nilüfer Yanya Premieres New Song “the dealer” on BBC Radio 1

• 
• British singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya premiered a new song “the dealer” on BBC Radio 1's Future Sounds with Clara Amfo.
  The song will appear on her upcoming third studio album “PAINLESS”, which is set to be released on March 4, 2022.
  It was written by Nilüfer Yanya, Jazzi Bobbi, and Will Archer, who also produced the track.
  She wrote the song last summer. Nilüfer Yanya said of the song, "When I was writing this song. I was thinking about the transient nature of life and the cyclical nature of the seasons. 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."
• The new album comprises 12-track. She told Clara Amfo about the album concept, “I was thinking about what actually came from a song, I was writing on the record which is now called basically 'Shameless'. And that's where I got the idea. Then I just thought was interesting, because it's like, when you're talking about something being painless, you're also inviting, like the conversation of like, pain and everything around that. And I was thinking about how like, we kind of aim to make our lives more and more like pain free as we kind of called our lives and like, you can't really eradicate pain completely. And maybe it's silly to like even try as well, same time. And then also just thinking about how like we, we accept like, pain and like suffering in other parts of the world and then we kind of just expect it not to happen in my country like this.”
