Noa Sorele Shares New Single ‘Playlist’
London-based singer-songwriter Noa Sorele is an independent pop artist. After the release of her rock-inspired single ‘Rain’, and self-empowerment pop single ‘Better’, the songstress returns with her heart-wrenching single ‘Playlist’.
‘Playlist’ features piano, drums, electric guitar, violins, cello, and Noa Sorele’s captivating vocals in the pop-ballad, with a genre-blend of alternative-pop, adult-contemporary, and indie-pop which expresses a mix of romance, sadness, and moody vibes in the production.
The song tackles serious subjects like despair, desperation, and the illusory desire to remember someone who has gone through music. Noa Sorele wrote ‘Playlist’ after a devastating breakup. She was so overcome with grief that she couldn’t stop listening to her ex’s playlist in the hopes of discovering hints that he was still thinking about her. She became depressed and wrote a song as a result of this heartbreak. Since then, the song has acquired new significance for her; it is now dedicated to all lovers and families going through heartache and tragic losses.
Speaking of the track, Noa Sorele comments, “‘Playlist’ is about a hopeless romantic going through heartbreak with desperation, grief, and a delusional hope to hang on to someone gone, if only through music.”
Having grown up in several countries, Noa Sorele has been influenced by a wide variety of musical styles, including jazz, rock, indie, and Mediterranean music. Inspired by musicians such as Dennis Lloyd, Stela Cole, and Jessie Reyez, she finds herself drawn to any strong song with engrossing lyrics. She also has this as her own music’s objective. Furthermore, Sorele is playing her own music at a number of locations, including the Camden Canal, The Half Moon Putney, and the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
On November 28, Noa Sorele will be headlining her release gig at The Lucky Pig in central London. The venue is set as a 1920s vintage-style basement bar, with a cozy and intimate feel. This will be an evening of acoustic acts, and the perfect atmosphere for the new pop-ballad, ‘Playlist’ to be showcased, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and keys.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
