about
Noora Mohammed Noor aka Noora Noor or Noora (born July 8, 1979) is a Norwegian neo soul singer. She is often noted as Norway's Queen of Soul. Noora started on her musical journey very young, performing locally from the age of 8. She got a recording contract with Warner Music at only 15. She then began working with Stargate to make her first album. The outcome of the album launched Stargates international career as R&B/Soul producers. Her debut album 'Curious,' was released in 1999 and became one of the first real Scandinavian R&B albums. The single "Need You" was also played constantly on "The Lick" on MTV. Curious became a success also in Japan with more than 40 000 sales. It took some time before we saw release of her second album "All I Am" in 2004, as Noora became seriously ill. On "All I Am" she has written more of the songs herself in collaboration with US and UK songwriters. Noora is still recording and is featured on MadCon's album and Tommy Tee releases. Noora's third album titled "Soul Deep" got the Norwegian Grammy Award for Best Female Artist. The album takes Noora back to the roots of soul music and is more Stax sound than Motown. The album was produced by guitarvirtuoso Kid Andersen in San Jose, California. Her reviews for the record in Norway were top of the dice with 6/6 in VG Norway's largest daily newspaper. Noora is busy touring around Europe at the moment. Noora Noor's MySpace Albums: Curious (1999) All I Am (2004) Soul Deep (2009) Singles: N
