Interview about my upcoming debut album, my city Brussels and my song "Brussels". 

Interview BRUZZ (Dutch)

© Chloë Nols
I do my make up on the train
I’m late again, I’m nervous
But my ghost in the dark looks fine

Enter city, enter lights
I see you standing, bit surprised
When I grab your hand for the first time

On a le temps, toute la vie
Pour savoir, pour toujours, si c'est nous

Close for shelter, perfect rain
Eternal dancing love birds gain
A touch, a kiss, a heart

Sharing truth and true love too
How am I gonna forget you?
You’ll be free, I’ll be free, we’ll be here

On a le temps, toute la vie
Pour savoir, pour toujours, si c'est nous
On a le temps, toute la nuit
On se sent si fragile dans cette ville

Tell me, tell me the truth
Show me, oh, show me how to catch you

On a le temps, toute la vie
Pour savoir, pour toujours, si c'est nous
On a le temps, toute la nuit
On se sent si fragile dans cette ville

Leonore - Brussels

© Chloë Nols
One of these days, see, it’s You, Me and Maybe
Away from this island, the sea, wind and silence
I’ll stop the stealing, you’ll stop the cheating
We’ll learn how to swim, our escape will be sweet

But we’ll drown, drown, let’s go down, down

One of these days, see, wake from this daydream
We’ll stay here forever, free like we’ll never be
No thousand orders, the sea brings the borders
And the stars at the night sky shine and unfold the horizon

But we’ll drown, drown, let’s go down, down

You are a lightning bolt that electrified my heart and now it’s pounding
You are a lightning bolt that electrified my life and it’s on fire

One of these days, see, freaky just like me
You are a lightning bolt that electrified my life and it’s on fire
Tattoos, smoke and wine, we’ll always know how
You are a lightning bolt that electrified my life and it’s on fire
Walk by this island, treasures and silence
You are a lightning bolt that electrified my life and it’s on fire
Secrecy leads us off shore where we drown holding hands
You are a lightning bolt that electrified my life and it’s on fire
You are a lightning bolt that electrified my life and it’s on fire

Leonore - The Island

© Chloë Nols
Recorded and mixed at MotorMusic, by Wim Meuwis. Mastered by Laurens Grossen.
Production by Chloë Nols, Kobe Dupont, Olivier Penu & Joshua Dellaert

I sing and seduce
oh, sailors, be warned
before you think you won't lose
a thing but love

darling, I can't wait another night
can't wait another life
we had many but I'm so tired

my red cape and my wolves 
I could feel lost and confused
but when my hands are claws
and you heart is close, I will fight for your love

darling, I can't wait another night
can't wait another life
we had many but I'm so tired

in the darkest hour of night
when I fly so high I can't be found 
you shine bright like the moon
oh, your quiet force leads me to you

darling, I can't wait another night
can't wait another life
we had many but I'm so tired

Leonore - Jezebel

Leonore is the brain child of the Brussels singer Chloë Nols. Inspired by the clutter and white noise in her city, Chloë creates a sound that balances between acoustic indie pop and ambient soundscapes. In her poetic lyrics she capitalizes on discovering her true self, knowing she might never find it. 

Leonore has worked with Hannelore Bedert, Thomas Vanelslander (Gorki, Arno), Filip Tanghe (Balthazar) en Tim Augustynen (Black Box Revelation, Steak Number Eight), and has played at venues and festivals such as Ancienne Belgique, Botanique, Vooruit, De Roma, Trix, STUK, Het Depot, Rotown, Mezz, Muziekgieterij, Gentse Feesten, Boomtown, Brussels Summer Festival, Stoemp!, Zinnema, VOLTA, AFF, Labadoux and Beautés Soniques.

Leonore's songs ‘The Island’, ‘Brussels’ and ‘Jezebel’ had airplay on national radio stations Studio Brussel, Radio 1 and La Première.

The band consists of Chloë Nols, Kobe Dupont (Geppetto & The Whales), Tim Caramin (Glints), Lenny Steigerwald (Aligaga) and Louise van den Heuvel (Small Medium). They are currently working on their new album ( 2021). 


PRESS

"Chloë Nols creates beautiful melodies, in which light and darkness alternate (…) Her talent, and that of her companions, is undeniable. Her train ticket to Destination Future burns inside her pocket, and believe me when I say that we all want to travel with her." (Knack Focus)

"Vulnerable and fragile, but never a wallflower." (De Morgen)

"Chloë Nols touches you and grabs you softly by the throat. A special talent." (OOR)

"Sometimes you just feel: yes, with this kind of pure songs one can only convince the audience. And you just ask yourself: why don’t we all embrace Leonore?" (Kurt Overbergh, artistic director at Ancienne Belgique).

"Her band supports her excellent voice, that sounds even more pure live than on the album. The young singer from Brussels seems liberated and her voice opens up with a controlled, disconcerting ease (…) We’d love to see her grow in the future." (RTBF Culture)

"This soft pop, which is more or less intimate, always offers something complex in a sweet and devoted way." (Le Soir)

"Leonore shows her love for refined arrangements and her feeling for melodies. This music is intimate and covered with spleen, and thus an album of the season." (Moustique)
