‘We worry about your health’ is the statement that introduces the exciting debut album of the British singer Nilüfer Yanya. After two EPs and gigs with several namely artists like The XX, Interpol, and Sharon Van Etten it was about time. From the first listen on it is clear, that this is not a regular album but a conceptual piece of art. The fierce confidence the twenty-three-year-old radiates, when she is behind the microphone is a little less fierce in person, when we met the singer in Berlin.
On her debut record “Oh Glistening Onion, The Nighttime Is Coming”, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Pearla peels off the layers of every-day-life and reflects on the existential pain and beauty lying underneath. NBHAP author Lilly explored the artist’s world of fantastic dreams and late-night train stations to find that the biggest riddles’ solutions are sometimes not answers – but questions.
