Watch Nilüfer Yanya’s Tiny Desk Concert From Home

Nilüfer Yanya returns with another Tiny Desk Concert session, this time performing tracks that she has yet to play live as well as a brand new song.

By: Sun Noor

After opening her set with “Heat Rises,” Yanya spoke out about feeling unsettled with the idea of self-promotion in a time of high racial tensions, especially towards black people and people of colour in general. She then began to play “Paralyzed,” a track she has yet to play live as she felt it relates to the theme of injustice. Yanya also debuted a brand new song titled “Day 7,” which perfectly fit well with the selection o songs she decided to play. Her set culminates with a beautiful rendition of “Heavyweight Champion of the Year.”
