Noemi Aurora - Shining (Spleen+)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    25 juni 2023

Italian singer-songwriter and music producer NOEMI AURORA is already known for her almost twenty-year career with the alluring duo HELALYNFLOWERS which gave her the way to establish herself in the Electro / Industrial but also Alternative Metal scene as one of the most versatile and distinctive voices in modern Goth. Spleen+ (division of Alfa Matrix) is proud to inaugurate her first solo single.


The electrifying “Shining” is the fruit of endless lockdown solitude moments during which she transformed the trauma of inner isolation into enlightening emotional outbursts. An addictive catchy minimal pop song with a cold wave darkish twist setting danceability, sweet vocals and melancholy in perfect balance.

This is the first song announcing a very eclectic “Kintsugi” solo-album full of wild percussion, noir synth atmospheres, danceable electronics, and Noemi’s lush multi layered vocals; a new vibrating sonic entity born from the combination of a passionate ethereal abstractness with the electricity of neon alienism.

NOEMI AURORA describes her new work as “an ouroboros of musical influences that started from my listenings when I was a teenager, while I wandered around the country with my inseparable cassette walkman, without any fear of being judged as the 'strange' gothic girl, wearing my headphones and listening to my 80s/90s mixtapes which contained from the most underground darkwave bands, to rock/alternative, non-commercial electronica, up to even extreme metal. My project was born from there, from the roots, and branches out until today…”.

Hey you, shining disaster, welcome to NOEMI AURORA‘s Multiverse of sounds and visions.

lyrics

Mirror on the wall
Be my Morning Star
Shine on

Here it comes from east of Heaven
It is made of stars
Meeting up at night, at 11
When the change began

Pick up a rose
Prick your finger
What isn't killing you
It's making you wiser

You wonder if it's worth the pain
By going through the mirror you say my name hypnotized
hypnotized

Today we're timeless
We shine on, we're darkness
We'll make it endless
Shining disaster

Mirror on the wall
Look, we share a crack

It is getting dark in Heaven
Someone killed the Sun
It was made to last forever
But has gone too far

Pick up a rose
Prick your finger
What isn't killing you
It's making you wiser

The comet got lost away
But in this world we don't need its rays because

Today we're timeless
We shine on, we're darkness
We'll make it endless
Shining disaster
