Noorani Pirani is Once Again Hitting the Headlines With His Latest Release “Phoenix.”

Noorani Pirani, a.k.a. Noor, has released his latest EP, titled “Phoenix.” The artist joined forces with Chicago-based top-tier performers Sasha Go Hard, Morgan Gold, JakeFromSpace, and Trippadelix for “Phoenix.” This EP has six tracks, which will surely captivate his fans worldwide. The EP focuses on the subject of rebirth, transformation, and creation. The rapper has successfully added unique music and wondrous sounds to this project. Noor wishes to pay tribute to Hip-Hop culture with its infinite inventiveness and beguiling soundscapes, evoking the spirit of the Chicago streets while also paying homage to hip-hop culture. Listeners will be compelled to get up and dance as a wake of Noor’s hypnotic beats and will indeed develop a deep affection for the sounds of Hip-Hop music as a whole.

Noorani Pirani is a Chicago-based musician. His yearning for Hip-Hop shows through poetry as an emotional outlet. His music combines the drive to uplift and motivate people to fulfill their dreams. Noor has matured to expose his musical path while aiming to leave a lasting impact in the music world. Noorani Pirani grew in a tumultuous environment full of domestic abuse, drinking, and hatred. His journey was not at all easy. Many of his peers at school derided him for his rapping; they even called him “too nerdy.” For the first several years of high school, no one took his music seriously; in fact, he was the laughing stock of the school. But nothing could deter him. All that vitriolic served as fire for his desire to prove them all wrong. He continued to put in the time and effort necessary to improve his skills. He even joined Columbia College Chicago to learn music.

Noor achieved international fame at the age of 18 after performing at the World Trade Center in Dubai in 2016. Many people in the Chicago community began to support his music after that. Noor’s rap brand’s motto is simple, “This is Do or Die,” and he lives by it and uses it in many of his tracks. The rapper’s only motive is to leave a positive impact on society. He wants to encourage people through his music and become the voice that inspires people to follow their aspirations and pursue their passions. Noor is clearly all set to be an A-list musician.

In an interview in 2020, Noor said, “As a Muslim artist, I want to break the stigma of Islam while advancing hip-hop to inspire the minds of people around the world to pursue their passions no matter what obstacles lie ahead of them.”

Eric Schroeder Releases Album

If you’ve ever heard the music of Eric Schroeder before, you already know that melodic sting is often the backbone of his heady rock sound, but in his latest release Turned on the Stereo, which was released this year everywhere quality indie-rock is sold and streamed, it plays as great a role as the lead vocal does. The guitar is the star in the title track of this LP, much as it guides the grooves of singles “Parting (No. 2)” and “Stayed the Same,” and whether you’re a six-string buff or not, it’s an element that will engage anyone who catches a glimpse of this album’s most powerful moments.

There’s a lot more to Turned on the Stereo than just gilded guitar tones; after all, when listening to songs like “Mother Said,” “The Kind of Wound That Never Heals,” “Plan For Me” and the juggernaut “Never Go Away,” everything from the percussion to the vocal harmony itself is presenting us with a different layer of emotion. There’s scarcely a juncture in this record where Schroeder doesn’t sound deeply invested in the narrative he’s trying to get across, which is something I could only wish to see among his mainstream competitors nowadays.

At the center of every song on this LP is the magnetizing melodicism of the leading man, which despite flexing some legit muscle in past releases bearing the Eric Schroeder name sounds much more relaxed and on-point in tracks like “Do Done Now,” “Claire’s Song” and “Easier Way to Go” than it ever did before. There’s no hesitation on the part of our leading man here; if anything, I’m not sure that he’s come across quite as confident in his performance as he does in a couple of this record’s most climactic fever pitches.

As far as the production quality is concerned, Turned on the Stereo is a superbly tight album that doesn’t leave us guessing how richly textured and full a song like the title track or “Never Go Away” might sound in a live capacity, which is undeniably a tough feat to pull off. It’s perhaps not as evenly mixed as The Crucifixion of Eric Schroeder was, but I don’t know that he was looking to go super-polished in this instance; there’s a certain authenticity that comes with filtering fresh material through a raw, unconventional sound, and that could be why this LP stings as hard as it does.

Though I just started exploring Eric Schroeder’s complete discography a little closer this April, I’ve come to appreciate his approach to songwriting all the more thanks to Turned on the Stereo, which I deem the most mature offering he has released thus far. Schroeder isn’t working with major label assets by any means here, but he’s nevertheless turning in something that feels wholly compelling and different from what his contemporaries are producing in this first half of 2024, and that alone makes it a worthwhile listen for anyone who demands organic quality in rock anymore. Top to bottom, this is a terrific listen for those who love indie riffs and smoldering lyrical emissions.
