Meet NOCT, the brainchild of the talented 23-year-old music producer Noor Harajli, based in London. But let's rewind a bit and dive into the captivating journey that led to NOCT's latest release, "Everything is Ripe".
Picture this: From the depths of her desk-studio setup, Noor aka NOCT weaves together an eclectic fusion of 2000s alternative-indie sounds and bossa nova rhythms that'll transport you to a musical wonderland. Hailing from the cultural melting pots of Brazil and Lebanon, Noor's musical roots run deep, and it shows in every beat of her tracks.
Now, let's talk about NOCT's musical evolution. It all started back in 2020 when Noor decided to embark on a solo project after years of jamming with various bands. Fast forward to 2021, and NOCT burst onto the scene with her debut album, "Keep an Eye Out", a collection of tracks that introduced us to the magic of NOCT's distinctive sound.
But the journey didn't stop there. In 2022, NOCT treated us to "There is a Peak", a five-song masterpiece that pushed the boundaries of experimental sounds. From post-punk vibes to ambient melodies, this album was a testament to NOCT's fearless exploration of musical genres.
And just when you thought you'd heard it all, 2023 brought us "listen very closely", a collaborative album that showcased yet another facet of NOCT's musical prowess. With each release, NOCT continues to captivate audiences with her eclectic portfolio and boundary-pushing creativity.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show: "Everything is Ripe". This track is a journey through the highs and lows of life, a reflection of the human experience. With its raw energy and thought-provoking lyrics, "Everything is Ripe" takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, reminding us to savor every moment and embrace the ripe opportunities that come our way.
And let's not forget about the magic behind the scenes! Recorded at Danny Monk's studio in Baker Street and expertly mixed and mastered by the man himself, "Everything is Ripe" is a testament to the power of collaboration and creative vision. With every chord and lyric, NOCT invites us into her world, where music transcends boundaries and speaks to the soul.
