Toronto hip-hop artist Charlie Noiir has been building his 15-track debut for quite some time. The past two years have consisted of endless recording, traveling, soul searching and strategic planning that has made up this labour of love entitled ‘On My Sleeve.’
The album ebbs and flows between R&B, Soul and Hip Hop and the bold production is mixed with heartfelt lyrics showcasing his playful attitude and fun personality which is the glue that holds this project together. Songs have a range of emotion, from upbeat party anthems to winding slow jams and Noiir is raw and untamed as always.
Speaking to us about the release: “I really wanted this project to speak to who I was as an artist whilst creating it. I didn’t want to just zero in on one aspect of my artistry and I was very deliberate in how I approached every record. I believe one of my gifts is my ability to write to anything, any style of music but the challenge was creating something that sounded seamless. Something that from start to finish made absolute sense but when listened to individually, record by record, still left their own distinct impression. It was difficult yet fulfilling to push myself in so many directions but I’m glad I took on the challenge as my growth as an artist is evident throughout this body work.”
With Noirr saying that this piece of work is the “tip of the iceberg,” we’re excited to see what’s in store for his next move.
