Although she’d been writing songs in her head since she was six, and on the guitar since she was 12, now 23-year-old Nilüfer Yanya only started sharing her tunes with the world in 2016. Since then, the UK-based singer-songwriter of Turkish/Irish/Bajan heritage garnered a loyal mass of followers. After a few EPs, including great tracks like The Florist and Thanks 4 Nothing, she just readied her debut album Miss Universe.

We’ll have to wait until 22 March for it to drop, but in the meantime, we can enjoy the set’s new single. In Your Head is as catchy as ever, but with considerably more guitars and energy.
