Too volatile to be locked in the song cage, very rooted in jazz cultureNour presents today his second album “The elegance of raw words”.
By the title of the latter, it makes the link between the raw and the elegant, it depicts a complete palette showing all the colors that there can be between black and white. Because if there’s one thing our artist hates, it’s Manichaeism, the cut-and-dried things. She knew how to take a step back appreciate subtlety, duality and complexity of being.
With Nour, everything is music : a lighter becomes rhythm, a blender makes the waltz dance and an electric razor gives its name to a title on the album. This grain of madness, the singer claims it as a necessity that allows us to redecorate the world and turns her weaknesses into strong songs, which resonate in us, because she does not oppose men to women, but she tells the human by what brings us together: our vulnerability.
In “L’impulsive”, 1st excerpt unveiled of this album, Noum punctuates and analyzes without complacency his tendency to speak or to act in order to reflect afterwards. A text that slams and challenges, strings that coat, rub, pinch like her, the piano flies away and races suddenly to accompany the words, following her gestures and her words as closely as possible.
And as with any movement, however impulsive it may be, it can end in relaxation… Relaxation in discomfort.
