     Chicago an currently living in LA. Singer• Songwriter. my new single Get Free is available on all platforms.

          Songwriter and musician Johari Noelle unveils a new single “Get Free,” with a compelling accompanying video. Following Noelle’s 2020 single, “Time,” praised by The New York Times as capturing “the warped, elongated, suspended pace of pandemic life,” “Get Free” is driven by Noelle’s soothing and rich voice. The instrumentation is at first minimalistic, allowing Noelle’s vocals to take center, before opening with grooving bass, scintillating keys, and mellow percussion.

       “I wrote ‘Get Free’ to bring ease and joy to myself and others,” says Noelle. “You can’t love anyone without limits until you first love yourself without them. My music is about getting out how I feel and being very present in that moment. It’s important for me to embrace myself in a way that empowers me to feel each emotion and remain in touch with myself. I want people to know that they aren’t alone in what they are feeling. I want to convey a sense of relatability. My songs are meant to touch people. I want you to feel peace and comfort. I want to create something that creates conversation or community through shared experiences.”

          Noelle released her debut EP, Things You Can’t Say Out Loud, in 2019. The EP was met with praise from the likes of Billboard, Refinery29, Bandcamp, Chicago Tribune, Exclaim, BlackBook, and more. The daughter of a DJ, the Southside Chicago-bred singer cut her teeth performing in choirs and musical theatre during her formative years. In 2015, Noelle joined the cast of BET docu-series Chasing Destiny, where Noelle was mentored by singer Kelly Rowland (of Destiny’s Child) and famed choreographer Frank Gatson Jr. Her creative resume has since grown to include acting credits on Empire and Proven Innocent, along with the React II campaign from NIKE, Inc.

[Verse 1]

All I can ever be to you is the darkness that we knew

And this regret I've got accustomed to

Once it was so right, when we were at our height

Waiting for you in the hotel at night

I knew I hadn't met my match

But every moment we could snatch

I don't know why I got so attached

It's my responsibility

And you don't owe nothing to me

But to walk away, I have no capacity

[Chorus]

He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown (I'm grown)

And in your way, in this blue shade

My tears dry on their own

[Verse 2]

I don't understand, why do I stress the man?

When there's so many bigger things at hand

We could've never had it all

We had to hit a wall

So this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stop wanting you and perspective pushes through

I'll be some next man's other woman soon

I cannot play myself again

I should just be my own best friend

Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

[Chorus]

He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown (I'm grown)

And in your way, in this blue shade

My tears dry on their own

[Bridge]

So we are history

Your shadow covers me

The sky above ablaze

[Chorus]

He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

And in your way, in this blue shade

My tears dry on their own

[Verse 3]

I wish I could say no regrets

And no emotional debts

'Cause as we kiss goodbye, the sun sets

So we are history, the shadow covers me

The sky above ablaze that only lovers see

[Chorus]

He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown (I'm grown)

And in your way, my blue shade

My tears dry on their own

Woah, he walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I am grown

And in your way, my deep shade

My tears dry on their own, woah

[Outro]

He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

And in your way, my deep shade

My tears dry
