‘Midnight Sun,’ a New Song by Nilüfer Yanya, is Worth a Listen

Nilüfer Yanya has released a new video for the widescreen new tune ‘Midnight Sun,’ which will appear on her upcoming second album. ‘Midnight Sun’ is the second single off her upcoming second album, ‘Painless,’ which will be released on March 4 via ATO and will follow her 2019 debut ‘Miss Universe.’

“It’s a song about recognising what it feels like to be pushed down but wanting to resist,” Yanya said of ‘Midnight Sun’ in a statement. “I really like the imagery of ‘midnight sun’ as a lyric as it insinuates a light guiding you through darkness. The wings carry their own symbolism – freedom, lightness, flight, fantasy…

“If I could pick what people saw and heard it would be: seeing the beauty of confrontation and the necessity of rebellion,” she added.

Watch the ‘Midnight Sun’ video below.

The singer will tour in support of ‘Painless’ this spring, starting in Glasgow on March 3 and stopping in Dublin (March 12), Manchester (March 14), and Bristol (March 15). Yanya’s UK tour will come to a close on March 16 at Electric Brixton in London.
