Nilüfer Yanya makes bitterness beautiful on resounding new cut "Thanks 4 Nothing"
Nilüfer Yanya explores definitive ends on "Thanks 4 Nothing", an enchanting blend of acoustic intimacy and grand percussion.
"New creative duo" ENERGYFORCE have directed the song's accompanying clip. Yanya explains that together they "wanted to make the Handmaid’s Tale meets Pulp Fiction."
"It carries a strong outdated '70s vibe with occult twists where nothing really goes according to plan and nothing really happens," the 22-year-old Londoner says. "This echoes both the current political climate and the inner failings of a relationship, both cult like in their own way and blindly following one another. Shot on 16mm film for that cinematic effect."
"[This song is about] drawing a final line under something that should have ended a long time ago," explains Yanya of the track. "The song shows you can be bitter and grateful about it at the same time."
The song follows last year's immense "Baby Luv" and summer EP Plant Feed, and arrives ahead of an appearance at SXSW next month.
Yanya has also announced a new string of UK and European tour dates, including her biggest London headline show yet on 29 May. Find out the full dates.
