Nola Mann Shares New EP ‘From Dusk ‘Till Dawn’
Brussels-based rising singer-songwriter Nola Mann released her highly-anticipated EP titled, From Dusk ‘Till Dawn. The five tracks enchantingly combine elements of R&B, folk, and country to take the listener on a dreamlike narrative made of pop culture allusions, cinematographic references, and universal themes.
Nola Mann composed and wrote the lyrics to the five tracks alone on guitar. With the exception of ‘Moon’, Maxime Mattelaer wrote the instrumental track first, then the songstress followed with the words that developed the melody. Gordon Delacroix made the arrangements and produced all the instrumentals. Before Pieter De Wagter mastered each song and Maxime Mattelaer completed the final mix, she recorded, mixed, and produced the final vocals at home.
From Dusk ‘Till Dawn, enhances Nola Mann’s status as a musician. She is a force to be reckoned with. The EP will grab the listeners’s interest right away. She confronts her demons and wraps them in lightness throughout the EP’s five tracks, showcasing her seamless musical brilliance and vulnerability as an artist. At the end of the tunnel and the long night, dawn. The light illuminates. Creating, From Dusk ‘Till Dawn.
With, From Dusk ‘Till Dawn, on the horizon, Nola Mann continues to captivate listeners with her combination of R&B, folk, and country. Every note of her captivating musical journey is infused with her passion for music and dedication to her craft, leaving listeners eagerly expecting the next installment.
With every release, Nola Mann, who is driven by creativity and seeks to connect with her listeners on a deeper level, showcases the honesty and openness of her music. Her appealing voice and engaging instrumentation give the listener an emotional experience.
Speaking on the EP, Nola Mann comments, “The EP is about personal and universal traumas such as Depression, bad relationships, anxiety, and global mental health issues. It’s also about an inner world we don’t always share and sometimes struggle with alone. But it’s also about fighting our demons and trying to heal from them. Everybody is trying to heal from someone or something, everybody has traumas. I think mental health is still very much stigmatized and people don’t have to deal with it alone, dawn comes after dusk.”
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.
