Nilüfer Yanya has confirmed details of her debut album, ‘Miss Universe’

It must be 'announce your album' day.

Nilüfer Yanya has announced her debut album, ‘Miss Universe’.

The record will arrive on 22nd March via ATO Records/PIAS, preceded by her new single ‘In Your Head’.

“Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me and I get trapped,” she says of the track. “There’s the things I need disguised as things I think I only want, things I think I’m choosing out of choice not necessity. Sometimes this only becomes clear in retrospect, or maybe it will never become clear. Some people may call that being paranoid. I think that’s what I wrote the song about, but what’s interesting to me, and what I think I was trying to get at, is the illusion of freedom.”

She’ll head out on tour not long after the release, visiting:
