"The Motion" is an upbeat, vibey Afro-Caribbean bop about making peace with the past, releasing my inhibitions, and breaking free from oppression.

THE MOTION

This one is for all of my underestimated people who understand their worth & choose each day to accept nothing less....We are the thermostats that set the standard for the way others treat us. It is up to us to choose what we will accept. 

May every imposter fall away from your destiny -- they are not a part of it. Let them go. Let us walk confidently into our purposes. Let us continue to be wise stewards of our inner peace & move in POWA from the Almighty source. This is my offering. Enjoy responsibly <3

PON MI

“Everybody take a shot! Bacway! For the ones who try to delay good things that I got...Cuz what's for me is for me and I KNOWWW!" <3

As we grow we learn to let go of the things and people that don't serve who we are growing into. This song is about celebrating your unique journey and releasing those that are no longer meant to be on it in love. Some people are not equipped to handle the altitudes you're headed toward, so don't be afraid when they fall away. They just couldn't go where you're going. Love them anyway, but choose yourself & continue to climb.

I Know

Just a Little

This song is a declaration of my newfound identity in my Almighty creator, and a statement to ALL opposition in my music career. The journey has been long, difficult, & filled with attempts from nonbelievers to place limits on my dreams. I had to move forward in the realization that I am defined ONLY by who my Creator says I am and NOT by what other people say about me. Over time, I learned that this world only bets on confident people who bet on themselves. & me? Noori? I bet on myself!!!

Noori Belai has been singing for as long as she can remember. Growing up outside of Washington D.C. in Silver Spring, Maryland, she constantly had melodies and lyrics stuck in her head, belting them out for whoever was around—even when they didn’t want to listen. “When I was a kid, all I remember was singing and everyone telling me to shut up,” she laughs. “But it stuck with me.” 

As the daughter of Ethiopian immigrants in a predominantly white suburb, Noori often felt caught between multiple worlds. “At school I couldn’t really identify with American culture because I didn’t grow up with it,” she says, so she turned to music -  eventually experimenting on her own, combining the piano with songwriting. “Music started off as an escape and it evolved into self-expression," she says.
