2015 has just begun and already its got us at the edge of our seats! Highly acclaimed clubland-superstar Noir, who’s dancefloor dominion is about to become undisputed with the announcement of his upcoming debut album. The album is self-titled and will feature 12 of his most explosive and cutting edge productions. Arguably best known for his huge dancefloor bomb ‘Around’, Noir will finally 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 promises to be an emotionally charged and engrossing body of work. Here’s what the Danish superstar had to say about 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.
