Noora Noor is Norway’s soul sensation. Usually referred to as the "Scandinavian Queen of Soul", her first album ‘Curious’ sold around 50.000 in total and won Noora the Norwegian Hit Award for Best Female Artist. Her hit "Need you" was one of the first Nordic videos to spin on The Lick / MTV and was producer duo Stargate’s first success. Noora also won the prize for Best Live Artist after her first Norwegian tour.
Her next album, recorded in London and New York took a while to finish as Noora got ill and had to stop all recording for 2 years. The album titled ‘All I Am’ was released in 2004 and contained radio hits such as "Zeros".
Noora Noor’s exciting third album was recorded in San Jose, California in November/December 2009. The album titled ‘Soul Deep’ was released in Norway with raving reviews. On this album Noora changes her style totally from the former two albums which were very much modern R&B albums. On this album, however, Noora goes back to the sound of southern soul. To the sound of Stax and Motown and deep into the the roots of soul music. The album won a Norwgian Grammy (Spellemannpris).
