Noor + Alice Tunney

Noor Un heart. Departures, absences, lies. 1900 days. 1900 days of a relationship told in a first album, which reaches us one year after the release of a first EP with a premonitory title, "Sad stories stick to my body". Without a filter, tracing a raw and assumed sadness, this EP had quickly met its audience: several million streams on platforms at the time we are writing these lines, a Boule Noire then a sold-out Maroquinerie, and, very quickly, invitations from Clara Luciani or even November Ultra to perform their opening acts. With each appearance – long brown hair, a piano and a few machines, nothing more – Noor instantly overwhelms. She sings out loud what thousands of hearts cry out quietly. Author, composer and producer of French-Lebanese origin, Noor does not hide behind any artifice. She writes as she breathes — otherwise she suffocates. Comme Jacques Brel, Édith Piaf or Barbara before her, Noor ("Light", in Arabic) reminds us that great love songs do not only speak of pain — they speak of life. This first album, 1900 days, is not a record about a breakup. It is a record about the capacity to love. Faithful to those who shaped her aesthetic education, without ever compromising herself artistically, Noor develops there an ultra-sensitive and refined pop, of a great cinematic melancholy, in the lineage of the classics of Lana Del Rey, of Joji and of Bon Iver. The eleven tracks that make up the album oscillate between majestic sad-pop and electronic sobriety, where each kick resonates like a heartbeat. Her voice, sometimes deep and crystalline, sometimes almost whispered, intrigues. She does not seek to seduce: she reveals. She reveals the beauty of what was right there, before our eyes. Because with Noor, sad love has never been so beautiful, whether it is idealized (On the road to Madison), thwarted (Paris-Vienna), or tinged with guilt (Forgive me, Terrible Menteuse, Cendrion). With disarming sincerity, Noor abandons all forms of pride and proves that loving, even without return, is not a weakness. That remaining faithful to what one has felt is a courageous act. That one can scream "I love you" to an asshole and that one can do it without shame (Petit Homme). Noor has suffered, often, she has been wrong sometimes but she has loved. And if in the end there was heartbreak, so much the better: it means there was love. It does not matter if it lasts forever, or just 1900 days. Alice Tunney Alice Tunney is a French-British singer-songwriter who has been developing an intimate musical universe for several years, between dreamy folk and acoustic chanson. Born in Rennes and having grown up between Brittany and London, she draws from this dual culture a singular artistic identity, mixing English folk influences, sensitive writing and inhabited interpretation. After making her debut on the street in Dublin, then in Paris, Rennes and London, she gradually built a strong relationship with her audience, enriched by appearances at festivals in Hungary and numerous concerts in Brussels! Through the songs of her first EP, First time alone in this house, Alice explores with sincerity universal themes such as loneliness, grief, resilience, friendship and love. Carried by refined arrangements, between acoustic guitars, piano and crystalline voice, her compositions leave all the space for emotion. On stage, surrounded by her musicians, Alice Tunney offers a concert full of delicacy and proximity, where the sweetness of her universe finds an immediate echo with the audience.
