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

so I am the girl without a name
I was called a phoenix, a queen of lions, a twin reclaimed

I am the last of Amazons that reigns
in the darkness of this jungle I remain

winds above and seeds below, like music
makes me go hunt, makes me a hunter

go run, my friend, until you black out, and I'll be your light
I won't hold your hand, until you black out, and I'll be your light

so I am the girl without a face
but I was seen in mirrors, seen in colours, on a naked chest

I stand on all the corners of the earth 
to fight the dragons, those ugly dancers in the dark

creatures from the sky are coming down 
it’s hard to tell if they are here to help or harm

go run, my friend, until you black out, and I'll be your light
I won't hold your hand, until you black out, and I'll be your light

I try and fail to take you off my mind
I want you close, I want you closer

I see your face just everywhere and I
I want you close, I want you closer

I know it's just a phase of space and time
I want you close, I want you closer

I'll wait for you, forever but for now
I want you close, I want you closer

I see your face just everywhere and I
I want you close, I want you closer

I'll wait for you, forever but for now
I want you close, I want you closer

cold wind blows
under these golden wings
releasing golden tears

I roam my land
searching helpless men
I wonder where you are?

I just wanna make you dance
when you hear me from ashore
wanna put you in a trance
celebrate my magic words
as long as you sleep
I'll whisper in your ears
show my ignited wings
when you move inside of me

in my arms
I hold your shaking bones
we share our light, once more

just wake up
for what can not be seen
it is eternal, dear

I just wanna make you dance
when you hear me from ashore
wanna put you in a trance
celebrate my magic words
as long as you sleep
I'll whisper in your ears
show my ignited wings
when you move inside of me

now I can see
we are one and one are we
a thousand years and older
why don't you dare come closer?

I just wanna make you dance
when you hear me from ashore
wanna put you in a trance
celebrate my magic words
as long as you sleep
I'll whisper in your ears
show my ignited wings
when you move inside of m

shadows on the ceiling
filled with fading light

I sing flat, here on my back 
but I sing for you, nevertheless

my mind is crushed by all its fear 
there's no solution, no escape for me

I used to hang my blues from your tree
seeing all your birds shake with me 
oh, I used to climb my way up high
until the wind knocked me down in time

when the dust reaches the sun
I am sinking like a throw away gun

when the currents caress my back
they split my skull and pull me back

into the mud, from which I came
with all its promise, all its blame on me

I used to hang my blues from your tree
seeing all your birds shake with me 
oh, I used to climb my way up high
until the wind knocked me down in time

You don't know

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)
