SXSW 2018: Nilüfer Yanya

Another song with Baby in the title.  This is from a 22-year old London singer.  She was picked for the BBC's Sound of 2018.  Quite an honor.  She's also been profiled by Pitchfork and The Guardian, who gave a good description of her sound:

"Growing up listening to Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse and Pixies (she does a terrific cover of Hey), she was also exposed to a mix of diverse sounds thanks to her artist parents, who have Turkish, Irish and Bajan heritage. Her husky voice and sparse, lo-fi sound flit between soul, R&B and indie." 

Expect more buzz.

"Golden Cage" is a cool song.
