NEWS: Nilufer Yanya shares new single ‘Keep On Calling’

Earlier in the year, London singer-songwriter Nilufer Yanya released her debut single ‘Small Crimes.’  Inspired by the actions of a petty thief, it was a haunting but simple tale that showcased Yanya’s lyrical talents, influenced by the likes of Nina Simone and Jeff Buckley as well as Connan Mockasin.

Yanya is now back sharing her new single, ‘Keep On Calling.’  At first it’s similar in style to ‘Small Crimes,’ Yanya’s vocals accompanied only by carefully picked guitar.  Soon though, she adds another string to her bow, as the song transforms itself into a quasi-R&B number with only a few handclaps and a slight tonal shift.  It’s still minimalist, but Yanya shows that you can do a lot with a little.  Listen below.

It’s also been announced that Nilufer Yanya will also be playing her debut headline show at The Slaughtered Lamb in London on 17th November.
