Miss Universe (CD)
Nilüfer Yanya
Amoeba Review

Nilüfer Yanya’s star is rising quickly, if Miss Universe is any indication. The London-based singer’s debut album is an out-of-this-world collection of songs inspired by the music of Angel Olsen and Kelis, and lit world essentials like Brave New World and Edgar Allan Poe. Sounds weird? Listen to the album and you’ll understand that it sounds divine. Yanya incorporates jazz, electro, and the new school of glistening, minimalist R&B into a loose concept album structured around the idea of a dystopian self-care program called WWAY Health that’s fresh, innovative, and exceptional.
