When London newcomer Nilüfer Yanya dropped her debut single “Small Crimes” via the respectable Blue Flower Records label back in August, we collectively said “holy shit this is brilliant”. With echoes of Daughter within the sound of just electric guitar and vocal. Im sure we shall hear more very soon. Are you ready to fall in love? 21-year-old London singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya has completely and utterly captivated me with her first single “Small Crimes.” Backed by wisps of electric guitar and very little else, listen as Yanya’s distinctive, soul-laced words dance and sway with enviable ease, giving way to one of the most hypnotic debuts of the year so far.
