Nilüfer Yanya will release her new album Dancing Shoes on July 2nd via Ninja Tune. Ahead of the EP’s arrival, the artist has shared new single “Where To Look.” Speaking about the new single Nilüfer shares, “We started writing this song for the album, but it was tricky to get it off the ground at that time. Then when we came back from tour, it suddenly clicked. Melodically it’s one of my favourite things ever. Very glad I was able to give it the time and breathing space that it needed.”

Dancing Shoes was written alongside a collection of tracks that Nilüfer re-approached with her creative partner Wilma Archer when she returned from touring her latest record. The new single follows previous track “Cold Heart” that will be included on the EP.

This year, Nilüfer will be heading on tour across North America with Alex G this Fall. The tour begins in Boston on September 11th with stops in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and more. Throughout the tour Nilüfer will be performing select headline dates in Richmond, Amherst, Omaha and Sacramento. Following the North American run Nilüfer will then pick up to tour with Lorde for a string of shows across the UK in November.

In the past, supported Adele, the XX and Mitski on tour, headlined London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire and sold out shows across Europe, Australia, Japan and the USA. Yanya has also been remixed by Sampha, King Krule and Little Dragon and has collaborated with Bombay Bicycle Club and Liss. Nilüfer is a founding member of the community project Artists In Transit which takes creative workshops and other support to displaced communities and people in times of hardship.
