Noah & The Void is a passionate music project that’s primarily dedicated to creating a community based on mental health awareness & healing. Most of his music, while sonically being diverse, can usually have ties back to themes of mental healing, love, and any relatable emotion we all feel every single day. After losing his close friend Evan to paediatric cancer, Noah donates 100% of his streaming revenue to aid paediatric cancer research, and encourages people to check out evanscrew.org, a charity which was founded in Evan’s memory, and the primary reason behind Noah’s creative journey.
Drifting between emotional piano, and captivating vocals ‘Icarus’ perfectly captures the musical craftmanship of Noah & The Void. Discussing the lyrical core and foundations behind the new single, Noah explains how “Originally, I began writing this track as a joke. I had just got a coffee, and I fell for the girl that served me. When I got home I was playing around on my piano, and this catchy progression just started to develop – If I find something catchy like that, I usually start singing nonsensical gibberish over it until I get a melody I like. But this time the lyrics “I don’t wanna come down” came out.. and my nerdy self, thought of the Greek Myth of Icarus.. which is about a boy who flies close to the sun and falls into the sea. This combined with the coffee, were a catalyst to what you could call a silly reminiscence. They inspired me to write a song that firmly meshed my ideas together. I wrote for fun at first, and got myself a really great song in the end.” ‘Icarus’ is a fun, upbeat track with a romantic twist that’s completely honest with its sound and feel.
‘Icarus’ is only but a taste of what’s to follow with his debut album ‘Relief’, a record filled to the brim with personal influence, emotion, and hope. It’s a tone that can ambitiously be compared to a sunset performance at Red Rocks. Previous tracks ‘One Last Kiss’ & ‘Love Comes Free’ show how Noah & The Void has a sound that just can’t be pigeonholed into one genre. ‘Relief’ breaks out of the norm, and into something completely refreshing.
Noah is always creating, and on the lead up to ‘Relief’, he had an overload of content ready to go. Noah explains how “I had originally planned on dropping two albums; I have an excess of music, as I’m writing all the time. My idea was to have one album be very electronic, while the other leaned more alternative – Titled ‘Shelter’ and ‘Exposed’. This, however, became too much, both sonically and for me time wise. So, I narrowed down my favourites into one condensed work, called ‘Relief’! I wanted to capture the human experience.” As its title suggests, ‘Relief’ indicates an escapism from unneeded, everyday struggles, providing a hopeful message for its listener. October is a monumental moment for Noah & The Void.
‘Icarus’ is available on streaming platforms right now, and his debut album ‘Relief’ will follow on October 17th!
