Noah

北海道出身の音楽家。子どもの頃から慣れ親しんできたピアノの繊細さ、印象的なビートとR&Bの要素、VaporwaveのLo-Fiさとノスタルジーが同居する彼女の楽曲には、妖艶さと可憐さを併せ持った独創的な個性が形作られている。3枚のミックステープに続くファーストアルバム「Sivutie」を2015年にリリース。英ガーディアンでMura Masa、Little Simz、Tinkらと共に同年のBest New Bands5組に選ばれるなど注目を集める。イギリスのプロデューサーkidkanevilとのプロジェクトnemui pjや、Teams、Repeat Patternと共にコンセプトアルバム「KWAIDAN」、SELA.やJoni Voidへの客演を経て、ミニアルバム「Thirty」を2019年に、2021年にEP「Etoile」を発表。

Noahのプロダクションは常に実験的で、変化し続けている。R&Bのフィーリングであれ、エレクトロのLo-Fiな魔法であれ、彼女の音楽はミステリアスな美しさに満ちている。そして常に、その声は神秘的なサウンドスケープの中で、幻のようにエモーショナルに紡がれている。

Noah grew up in Hokkaido. Japan’s northernmost island, it’s an idyllic, snowy place—and a wild, harsh one, too. But it wouldn’t be long until, after a stint of living in Aichi Prefecture, found herself living in the tangle of urban centres that is Tokyo.

Taking inspiration from both her home island and Japan’s frenetic capital city, Noah has produced music since the winter of 2009. It wouldn’t be until 2015 that Sivutie, her debut album.

Her production has always been experimental, everchanging, drawing influences from a wide range of styles resulting in a sound that is uniquely her own. Whether it’s an R&B feel or the lo-fi magic of vaporwave, her tracks resound with energy and beauty. And, always, her voice weaves like a phantom, emotive, through these exciting soundscapes.

Noire is Noah’s latest full-length release since 2019’s Thirty. Since her debut on FLAU, she has garnered praise from dozens of blogs and media outlets including Dazed, The Guardian, The FADER and NYLON, to name just a few.
