chillhop V (August 2023+)

solo nour are Billie Barleben (voice) and Anatolian Lover (music), both based in Cologne. The name ‘solo nour’ is derived from the Spanish ‘sol’ and the Arabic ‘nour,’ symbolizing light.

Billie Barleben—yes, that is her real name—is a trained actress and loves to dance. In addition to her artistic pursuits, she is involved with the project minhafaktur, a co-operative in Cologne-Poll that creates spaces for collaborative and interdisciplinary work. At the first event she organized, Yaşar Fidan—known as Anatolian Lover—also performed. Anatolian Lover grew up in Ankara and Ingolstadt. He is a beat-maker with a classic hip-hop background and has released various works with Dezibelle Records from Berlin. He is also an aspiring social worker who conducts workshops on racial equality, diversity, and masculinity.

It took a second meeting for Billie Barleben and Anatolian Lover to come together as solo nour. The fact that this happened at a surf camp in France is a charming an-ecdote, but not the main point. A few weeks later—in Winter 2023—they met for the first time in Yaşar's home studio in Cologne-Mühlheim. Since then, they’ve hardly ever stopped making music.

“At some point, I received a message from Yaşar that he needed a break from me because he couldn't hear my voice anymore over all the mixing. At that time, there were ten songs in progress—simultaneously. Now it’s fine again,” Billie jokes, add-ing, “Our music has become a place of encounter and connection. With solo nour, a deep friendship has also developed.”

This is a friendship they now want to share with the rest of the world. It’s about time, we think, because the way solo nour brings together hip-hop, indie, soul, and pop is very much worth a listen.

Substantial and Marcus D, collectively known as Bop Alloy, have returned with "10 Winters," a soulful boom bap single that feels like a warm embrace on a chilly day. This track marks the 10th anniversary of Winter Breaks, the first of their two celebrated holiday-themed EPs, which thoughtfully explored the joys, stresses, and reflections of the season. "10 Winters" serves as a fitting conclusion to the beloved series while heralding an exciting new chapter for the duo. Fans can look forward to their highly anticipated third album, set to drop in Spring 2025.

Cologne duo solo nour kicks off the year with their new single, ‘no worries’. Delivering uplifting grooves and soulful melodies that embody the duo’s carefree, forward-looking ethos, the track invites listeners to embrace life’s unpredictability with optimism and warmth.

Comprising Billie Barleben on vocals and Anatolian Lover on production, solo nour is more than just a musical collaboration — it’s a creative journey shaped by friendship, experimentation, and a shared passion for storytelling. Their name itself is a testament to their illuminating artistry, fusing the Spanish sol and Arabic nour, both symbolozing “light.”

Cologne duo solo nour unveils their new single, sad something, a deeply introspective track that explores the weight of depression and the strength it takes to move forward. With their raw lyrics and a soundscape that mirrors the emotional journey from despair to hope, sad something captures the experience of those battling their inner struggles.

“There are days when even getting out of bed feels impossible,” Billie shares. “You convince yourself you’re stuck, yet life keeps moving. The weight lingers, but with time, it lightens, making space for joy to return. The first step is deciding to rise—even when it feels like you can’t.”
