“A Haunting Journey Through Love and Loss”
Swedish sad-pop musician NOEL has been making waves with his newly released EP Mementos, cementing his status as a rising star for 2025. Following the success of his debut Headed North, NOEL dives even deeper into emotional introspection with Mementos, blending poignant lyrics with a richer, more expansive sound.
The EP features tracks like the lead single “Heart Full of Ghosts,” which encapsulates his struggle with vulnerability and the haunting presence of past relationships. Through this track, he masterfully uses layered percussion, guitars, and strings to evoke both intimacy and grandeur, while his raw, emotional vocals tie everything together beautifully. The symbolism of a heart burdened by unresolved feelings and memories resonates deeply with listeners, giving the track a timeless, melancholic feel
Other standout tracks include “Without Calling,” which showcases stunning harmonies and a raw, powerful chorus, and “Flowers at a Funeral,” where NOEL taps into 80s-inspired sounds to explore themes of loss and grief
His mix of introspective songwriting, alternative pop production, and acoustic elements makes Mementos a gripping experience. NOEL’s honest, vulnerable approach, paired with a desire to push his sonic boundaries, positions him as an artist to watch in 2025
