Sultry, sweet, and downright divine, Toronto starlet Noelle just delivered her debut EP 30k. A dance with swanky alternative-pop complemented by hints of jazz and Hollywood noir, Noelle’s debut studio extended play is nothing short of seductive. Her crystalline vocal instrument is the conduit that drives each ethereal track into the next, seamlessly blending feminine worlds of glamour and romance. While some tracks offer upbeat, pop-centric hits, other cuts are imbued with a tranquil catharsis. Speaking on the project Noelle says, ““Since the release of my first single, I knew that I wanted this EP to represent me as an artist and I’m really proud that we’ve achieved that,” said noelle. “It was so important for me to make sure 30k showcased every side of my artistry, proving that I’m not one-dimensional. This approach to crafting an EP allowed me to be free during the writing process, making music I felt my fans would love.”
