Leonore b

Feisty. Catchy. Sweet sounding, but equally razor-sharp and sarcastic. The music of Leonore travels peacefully from light to dark, until dawn breaks yet again. The band from Brussels release their debut album "Phoenix", after two years of gigging and sharing the stage with Avi Buffalo, Amatorski, Intergalactic Lovers, Bony King, Marble Sounds and Eefje de Visser. The album was made with the help of first-class singer-songwriter Hannelore Bedert, top guitarist Thomas Vanelslander (Gorki and Arno), sound engineer Filip Tanghe (Balthazar) and sound engineer Tim Augustynen (Black Box Revelation, Steak Number Eight). The songs "The Island" - selected for De Nieuwe Lichting at Studio Brussel - and "Brussels" - played on national radio and national TV (De Zevende Dag) - set the tone. CuttingEdge, the Flemisch cultural website, proclaimend Leonore as 'Talent of the Year'. Phoenix is warmly welcomed by the national press: "If 'Phoenix' proves one single thing, it is that Chloë Nols creates beautiful melodies, in which light and darkness alternate (...) Her talent, and that of her companions, is undeniable. Her train ticket to Destination Future burns inside her pocket, and believe me when I say that we all want to travel with her." (Focus Knack) "Vulnerable and fragile, but never a wallflower. A stunning debut." (De Morgen) "Chloë Nols touches you and grabs you softly by the throat. A stunning debut from a special talent." (OOR) "Her band supports her excellent voice, that sounds even more pure live than on the album. The young singer from Brussels seems liberated and her voice opens up with a controlled, disconcerting ease (...) We'd love to see her grow in the future (...) Don't they say that the Phoenix rises from its own ashes? Well, on to the second album!" (RTBF Culture) "This soft pop, which is more or less intimate, always offers something complex in a sweet and devoted way." (Le Soir) "Sometimes you just feel: yes, with this kind of pure songs one can only convince the audience. And you just ask yourself: why don't we all embrace Leonore?
