Noir Music proudly presents the self-titled studio album from electronic star Noir: one of the mostly hotly anticipated dance music debuts of 2015.
A hugely influential and in-demand DJ and producer, Noir has been responsible for some of the most poignant – as well as explosive – moments in clubland’s recent history. Arguably best known for his huge dancefloor bomb ‘Around’, Noir now drops his debut studio album, a project that has been nearly half a decade in the making.
With many of its cuts moving away from the strict four-to-the-floor parameters of house music production, the horizons of Noir stretch way beyond the dancefloor. Taking cues from a range of artists from Depeche Mode to Kraftwerk, and Massive Attack to Timbaland – all of whom have heavily influenced Noir’s aesthetic – Noir is an emotionally charged and engrossing body of work.
Says Noir of working on the album: “The album has been in the making since I started working on ‘Around’ back in 2010, so for me it’s a body of work that spans nearly 5 years, with changes to productions, melodies and moods before I was happy with the final tracks.
“What you hear on the album is the culmination of all the music and influences I grew up and have lived with over the years: it is absolutely my identity and honestly represents my musical passions. “
Unlike many ‘dance’ albums that are little more than a collection of thrown-together club tracks, Noir combines tirelessly creative songwriting with multi-faceted production that reveals fresh delights with every listen: a timeless release from a truly singular artist.
