Artist Close-Up: Johari Noelle Observes Things You Can’t Say Out Loud
Derived from candid conversations with herself about the things in life that are not so easily digestible, Johari Noelle’s Things You Can’t Say Out Loud is an internal dialogue set to music. It is a masterful look inward that leaves Noelle deciphering the difference between lust an indulgence, sensuality and objectification, self-love and ego. In a world, especially the music industry, that can be so materialistic, Noelle analyzes what it is to want material things while being a spiritual person.
Who doesn’t want money? Who doesn’t want a lover? Who doesn’t want a nice home and good food? It is okay to be flesh and blood because that is what we are, but balance is knowing that you are a heart, mind, and soul, as well. From “Show Me” to Release,” Noelle sifts through desires and “Regrets” to observe how she can find peace with wanting earthly pleasures and seeking to be a Heavenlier person. Of course, they do not have to clash, but excess and extremes feel everywhere, of which her voice ranges in octaves to show her battles.

From crescendos to belts, Noelle sees her voice like the wonder of a song. Sonically, there is a dreaminess, even futurism to her sound but it also comes from the purpose of this record. This album is tantalizing to any lover of music, but, most importantly, it is a genuine search from a person to see how they are functioning as a person. Thus, Things You Can’t Say Out Loud is relatable and rich. For More Information On Johari Noelle Click Here.
