“Antiseptic” by Noora.

The singer-songwriter Noora is still rather unknown in this country, but that could soon change: On June 4th, her current single “Antiseptic” was released. Here you can speak of a pure feel-good song that wants to sweeten our summer. We were enchanted by the hit number right from the first run, so we would like to introduce you to “Antiseptic” in more detail. But who is Noora anyway?

Noora

The singer-songwriter’s full name is Noora Alho, who is from Finland and was born to a British mother and Finnish father. At the young age of 12, she uploaded her first self-sung cover songs to YouTube. With lasting success: four years later she became a member of a girl band that was signed to Sony Music Finland. After Noora had made the decision to fledge and start her solo career, her debut single “Bleeding” was released in June 2018. With her third single “Veins” she achieved her greatest success so far, as the extraordinary song in several Spotify-Playlists was added and now on half a million streams Spotify approaches. So far, each published song has been written by her own pen, and Noora is also closely involved in the production.

After Noora published her previous singles independently, her new single is now being released by the Finnish record label Leibeli. The production was taken over by the local multi-platinum producers Mats Takila and Heiki Anttonen. The latter has already worked several times in the background for the singer and also wrote the song together with Noora. The artist herself raves about the collaboration. The lyrics of “Antiseptic” want to convey a carefree approach to life, even when things go wrong. The dark pop vibes of the previous singles have largely disappeared and have been exchanged for summer dance-pop sounds with tropical elements. This goes perfectly with the memorable melody, which quickly grabs the music listener’s ear both in the verses and in the chorus. This is mainly thanks to Noora’s dreamlike and unique voice.

Conclusion: With “Antiseptic” the first label release from Noora appears and further proof of their musical versatility. The summer dance-pop tune with a positive message knows how to convince with its catchy composition and high-quality production, which can easily be compared with international releases with great attention to detail. Last but not least, Noora’s enchanting singing has a high recognition value. Hopefully we will hear a few more songs from this promising artist this year!
