Nilüfer Yanya is back to announce a new EP, Dancing Shoes, set for release on July 2nd. She’s also unveiled the new song “Where to Look.”
Dancing Shoes follows Yanya’s 2024 album, My Method Actor, which we deemed one of the best releases of the year. Comprised of four new tracks, Dancing Shoes was written and produced with Yanya’s close collaborator Wilma Archer during and in between tour dates supporting My Method Actor. The EP also features “Cold Heart,” which arrived last month.

Reprising her raw, spellbinding guitar work and considered attention to mood and atmosphere, “Where to Look” has all the touchstones of Yanya’s dynamic indie rock sound. The song really begins to lift off in the second chorus, where Yanya’s guitar stumbles into a wall of fuzzy reverb and provides more power and emotion behind her croons. While the EP it’s on is called Dancing Shoes, “Where to Look” isn’t exactly dancefloor-friendly, instead boasting a more introspective tone. Stream the track below.
