Nilüfer Yanya was the latest guest to join this week's The Record Club with Bowers & Wilkins. The 26 year old English singer-songwriter joines Jess Iszatt to discuss the release of her latest record, Painless.

Her third album, it follows on from Miss Universe (2019) and Inside Out (2021), as well as a string of previous EPs. Speaking about her favourite lyrics on the new LP, Nilüfer singled out a particular turn of phrase from album cut Midnight.  "I've always liked 'you are my best machine,'" she said. "It sounds quite romantic in a way.

It's kind of weird, because machinery isn't normally something you give human emotions to. "I wouldn't call myself a poet. My lyrics are a bit too basic, and I always start with the music and the melody.

I find the words in the melody and carve them out." Designed as a book club for albums, The Record Club in association with Bowers & Wilkins is a bi-monthly livestream, hosted by BBC Music’s Jess Iszatt, on Facebook Live, Twitch, Twitter and YouTube Live every other Wednesday.
