Noora Noor is Norway's soul sensation. Usually referred to as the "Scandinavian Queen of Soul", her first album "Curious" sold around 50.000 in total and won Noora the Norwegian Hit Award for Best Female Artist. Her hit "Need you" was one of the first Nordic videos to spin on The Lick / MTV and was Stargates first success. Noora also won the prize for Best Live Artist after her first Norwegian tour.
Her next album, recorded in London and New York took a while to finish as Noora got ill and had to stop all recording for 2 years. The album titled "All I Am" was released in 2004 and contained radio hits such as "Zeros".
In 2005 Noora participated in Nelson Mandela's 46664 Concert in Tromsø and she is now an ambassador for the 46664 Aids Awareness program.
Noora Noor was collaborating with Mike Scott from the Waterboys on the single “In The Beginning Was Love” in 2007, a song Mike has written for One People – the peace organisation. Noora also released a single "Feelin it" with renowned Norwegian hiphop producer Tommy Tee and Jojo Pellegrino that year. She participates and has co-written a song on the popular MadCon album released by Sony around Europe and US release is forthcoming on Reprise Records this Spring.
Noora Noor's exciting third album was recorded in San Jose, California in November/December last year. The album titled "Soul Deep" was just released in Norway with raving reviews. On this album Noora changes her style totally from the former two albums which were very much modern R&B albums. On this album however Noora goes back to the sound of southern soul. To the sound of Stax and Motown and deep into the the roots of soul music.
Noora is my real name, it’s Arabic and means ”God’s light” – a guiding light or beacon to help you along. Hopefully my music can bring some light and happiness into peoples lives in spite of sadness, surrounding threats of violence, terror, racism or even just too much stress in peoples lives..
Would you send a kiss to save the world To keep someone, maybe you, from dying in it?
Would you send a kiss To save your favorite girl?
What would you kiss that you would put on this list?
We all think we know what we are fighting for Until something hurts us Then generations later Still asking ourselves Was it worth it Seem to go through the same thing We can wake up from a bad dream With screams Or when we reach for a kiss For that we open our eyes And say I want more of this And we go through that day Longing for that kiss Could you imagine saving the world With a simple kiss list?
I kiss my pen And it bleeds So that maybe We wont be leaves Blown away In a win-less storm
I kiss my friend's bliss And they say they love me Year after year of this Loyalty Inspired by spirit kiss
Would you send a kiss to save your favorite video game?
You name What would make you aim your lips And send a kiss
Hendrix kissed the sky Would you kiss the child in you You hide the cries And truly say I'll be OK Today I'll make myself my own baby And kiss me bliss 'Til no pain can stay
And once I'm entrenched In the practice of this I'll see clearly What I love And put that on my kiss list
I once blew a kiss to hate And watched hate become confused And wait
What is on your wish list? That you consent to bliss kiss? A kiss for your business? For your dreams? For your favorite sports team? Sports hero? Your favorite car? I'm blowing you a bliss kiss So maybe you'll put something On your wish list Hoping maybe we'll build up enough bliss To offset all war With a simple kiss
Call me a fool But some things are worth writing for
