The newcomer’s multi-layered alternative pop is rooted in teenage musical experimentation and confident, confessional lyricism which maps out his journey as a transmasculine guy navigating the world trying to be himself. At a time when empathy seems in short supply, the stories told by voices like Noah’s — passionate, emotive, angry, necessary — demand attention
‘Who’s Laughing Now’ follows up recent debut single ‘What The Other Boys Do’, which was described by Notion Magazine as ‘an instantly attention-grabbing debut which explores the transmasculine experience with confessional sensitivity” and garnered a string of accolades from tastemakers across the board; from The Line Of Best Fit, The Independent, 1883 Magazine and Popjustice to being crowned ‘Record of the Week’ by BBC Introducing, played by Radio 1’s Future Alternative Show and added to Spotify’s coveted Fresh Finds and Fresh Finds Pop playlists.
‘Who’s Laughing Now’ is set to continue Noah’s arrival as he re-shapes expectations and paves the way for a new generation of pop music; passionate, powerful and armed with a stack of great tunes that are impossible to ignore. The forthcoming debut EP, tells necessary stories that are set to cement Noah’s status as a rising star. Recorded working with producers Jon McClure (Reverend & The Makers) and Dimitri Tikovoï (Charli XCX, The Horrors), Noah tackles hope, desperation and the battle to reclaim power across infectious pop tunes.
Noah says; 'Who’s Laughing Now’ is a song about coming out on top, despite the people who did their best to bring you down. It specifically relates to the transphobia I’ve faced, but can be interpreted any way. I wanted to speak about how childish their hate is, and highlight the fact that it’s based on nothing but stupidity.’
Born in Johannesburg, Noah spent most of his formative years in Luxembourg hating school, but enamoured with the escapism music provided. Finding joy as both a listener and creator, pulled in by the likes of 21 Pilots’ audacious genre-hopping, he now describes his sonic identity as if “The Weeknd, Billie Eilish and Lorde had a three-way love child, spat it out, then let it grow up in France.”
Determined and defiant, Noah’s debut EP will truly be just the beginning as he pushes forward and continues to be himself. A unique new artist, Noah’s strongest suit could be the ability to strike an uncommon balance between being intensely personal and curiously universal.
