English singer-songwriter Nilufer Yanya, the daughter of an Irish woman and a Turkish man, debuted with the single Small Crimes/Keep on Calling (2016), the three-song EP Plant Feed (2017), and the
singles Baby Luv and Thanks 4 Nothing, collected on the EP
Do You Like Pain? (2018).
Miss Universe (2019), composed and produced by a stew of producers,
is dominated by
soul-jazz (Paradise, Melt) and
synth-pop (Heat Rises, Safety Net), although the signature song
is closer to punk-pop, In Your Head.
Painless (2022) focused on the rock element of her music, and not so much
the boring shuffle The Dealer (the single) but her
original take on folk-rock of Midnight Sun and especially the
rhythmic invention of Belong with You.
Trouble displays the Weeknd's influence,
and
Stabilise winks at the endless 1980s revival with its
techno locomotive.
The album overflows with silly stereotypes and cliches of the 2020s.
