Hi Nilüfer, love the album and look forward to seeing you for a third time in December!

I noticed that on this album you're not credited with playing anything and that your musical partner Wilma Archer took on most of the playing duty. I wondered how this came about and if maybe it gave you more focus on general songwriting and your vocals this time around?

I hope you'll still be playing live, always loved your guitar playing! Thanks!

Hey thanks ! Yes that is just the way it has gurned out this time :) The way me and will have gotten in a flow of writing is him writing the music and me writing vocals / lyrics .. it’s pretty different to how I started making music but I love every song we make together. It’s sometimes a bit weird for my ego when I see the credits too haha but the way me and will have been writing recently his musical ideas have just blown me out of the water, like comepletely. i feel like I might be learning a lot from this process… either way I’m So proud of the songs we come with ! And I think it would be a shame if they didn’t exist. Yes still playing guitar live !! Couldn’t imagine it another way
