Nilüfer Yanya has shared her latest single, the dreamy, questioning “Call It Love.” Stream it below.
Ahead of the release of her September album, titled My Method Actor, the British artist continues the tone set by previous singles “Like I Say (I runaway)” and “Method Actor” — “Call It Love” is similarly intricate and thoughtful. Yanya has a particular knack for taking melodies in unexpected directions, layering in harmonies, and invoking strings that make her music feel that much more layered.

“It takes a certain kind of bravery to fully trust your instincts,” she says of “Call It Love.” “It’s about allowing your calling to lead you, to let it guide you somewhere. Let that consume you and destroy you.”
“Call It Love” is the product of a series of isolated writing and recording sessions, where Yanya dreamed up the vision for this record with her creative partner Wilma Archer. Even with an accessible note to the singles of this era, there’s something personal at the core of these recent releases, “Call It Love” included.
Shortly after the release of My Method Actor, Yanya will be hitting the road for a tour that will span North America, Europe, and the UK. Grab tickets for the autumn trek here.
