Nilüfer Yanya releases the deluxe edition of her sophomore album PAINLESS via ATO Records. Alongside the release, Nilüfer shares performance videos for two of the reimagined songs “shameless” and “chase me,” that are included on the deluxe. The deluxe album also features a reworked version of “midnight sun,” remixes of “midnight sun” from Sampha and King Krule, and Nilüfer’s cover of PJ Harvey’s “rid of me.” Nilüfer also recently performed six songs off the project in a “From The Basement” special, produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead).

Painless features “anotherlife,” “stabilise” and the original version of “midnight sun,” which Nilüfer performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. With PAINLESS, Nilüfer runs head first into the depths of emotional vulnerability. The album was recorded between a basement studio in Stoke Newington and Riverfish Music in Penzance with collaborator and producer Will Archer, DEEK Recordings founder Bullion, Big Thief producer Andrew Sarlo, and musician Jazzi Bobbi. PAINLESS follows her renowned 2019 debut album Miss Universe and her 2021 EP Feeling Lucky?, which further explored Nilüfer’s fascination with ‘90s alt-rock melodies and drew on themes of resentment, her fear of flying, and the concept of luck.
