On first hearing, “Love Comes Free” sounds like a soul artist using folk instruments to beat a new path through a dream pop place. That’ll do as the sound bite or sonic by-line, after all, music is something that you encounter in its proper and perfect form only once, that being on that first listen, after that, you are just thinking too much about things.
And yes, I could wax lyrical about the mechanics and machinations of the song; that is, after all, the job at hand. But instead, the real charm of Noah & The Void is not found in the specifics. No, it is found in the way the song rises from floating finesse, takes on more solid form, and proceeds to cocoon the listener in sonic euphoria. Dream pop indeed!
Taking a jaunty acoustic guitar line, simple drums, and Noah’s excellent rootsy voice, he proceeds to hang all manner of shimmering sonics and liquid sound, additional motifs, and beguiling music it. And all of this carries an essential, simple, and fundamental message: send out love into the world, and it will come back in some form or another.
At the core of Noah & The Void is more than music; there is also altruism to match the artistry—a commitment to raising awareness about mental health and supporting causes that matter. Every stream contributes directly to that mission, with 100% of the revenue going to Paediatric Cancer Research through Evan’s Crew, established in memory of Noah’s close friend. To date, the project has helped raise over £1 million for charity, proof that songs can echo far beyond the stage. (Find out more at evanscrew.org)
