Rising Stockholm-born NOEL shares the enticing production ‘Hurt Somebody’, from his debut EP Headed North. With sharp lyricism and an anxious energy that conveys the state of disrepair we are left in when hurt by another, the visceral track captures a deeply resonant feeling led by serene and full vocal tones. The thoughtful track, which dives into the numbness, desperation and unresolved hurt of being let down, is accompanied by a gripping music video that moves from tranquillity into chaos with a perfect dose of vivid colours and bittersweet emotions. Swirling with longing, heartbreak, and introspection, the focus track gives us an alluring glimpse of the graceful but striking musicality that the EP boasts. -Malvika Padin
