Nilüfer Yanya has shared the transformative new single ‘Mutations’ from her forthcoming album ‘My Method Actor‘.Opening with an energetic bass and drum beat and centred around Yanya’s deep and airy vocal delivery, ‘Mutations’ sees the singer sing: “Old sensation / Don’t let them in / Let go, hold that vision / Hung up, I’m headed for your / Condemnation / Wait up, I’m heading for your / Complications / Your mutations,” describing experiences that have subtly transformed and shaped her.Speaking about the track in a press release, Yanya shared: “‘Mutations’ deals with change brought about by circumstance.

This is not the phoenix rising from the ashes but the subtle change that happens constantly as millions of tiny decisions and actions shape your being.“It’s kind of like survival, for me,” she continued. “Less of a transformation and more something that’s born out of your environment and surroundings, that you need to do to survive.

Mutation is just something you have to go through- you have to evolve.”The song’s accompanying visualiser was directed by Yanya’s sister, Molly Daniel, and features snippets of the singer while walking on the streets and beaches of Spain.‘Mutations’ is the fourth single to be shared from Yanya’s upcoming album ‘My Method Actor’.

It follows the previously released ‘Call It Love’, ‘Like I Say (I Runaway)’ and the lead single ‘Method Actor‘.
