Noémie Wolfs – Lonely Boy’s Paradise
Some people may still refer to Noémie Wolfs as ‘a former singer of Hooverphonic’, but that’s ancient history by now. Exactly one year ago, the Belgian singer released her second solo album Lonely Boy’s Paradise. In celebration of this anniversary, the record’s stand-out track is released as its fifth single.
Lonely Boy’s Paradise is the long-player’s monumental title track. It opens in a mysterious, somewhat sinister fashion with dark drums and dramatic strings. The further the song enrolls, the more prominent the strings. After a tribal-like mid-section, they even take over completely for a full dramatic effect. Fans of Lana Del Rey will love this.
The video has been a year in the making, as COVID-19 kept messing up the recording schedule. However, the resulting short movie, where Wolfs turns up blonde, is as wonderful as the song itself.
