Nilüfer Yanya has reworked her Miss Universe track "H34T RISES".

The original version of "H34T RISES", titled "Heat Rises", featured on Nilüfer Yanya's debut album Miss Universe, which landed in March.

Nilüfer Yanya has since restructured the track, as well as adding some more production elements and a brand new mix.

The new version arrives with a visual shot in her father's hometown Istanbul by her sister Molly Daniel.

Speaking about the new version, Yanya says, "The original song "Heat Rises" came together over a year or so, maybe. I felt really lucky I was able to work with Dave Okumu on this, there was a lot to learn just being in the room with him. I had the rough demo and beat on my phone for maybe a year, but it wasn’t until the lyrics were fully realised that that it really took shape as a song for me. The original track works perfectly in the album but when I decided to re-release it as a single, I thought a few changes to the mix and structure might help it jump out more and that’s where "H34T RISES" came from."

"H34T RISES" is out now. Nilüfer Yanya will play London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on 19 November. Find out more.
