“Bonjour” lives on Noah’s You Should Come Over EP
Singer-songwriter NO1-Noah steamrolls his way back into R&B contention with the video for his sweltering collaboration “Bonjour” with Summer Walker. The pair float on the flirtatious flex and blend NO1-Noah’s enticing sensuality and self-assurance with Walker’s trademark honeyed vocals that fueled her to billions of career streams and multiple Billboard records in the last year. The video, directed by Arman Mitchell and maliaSHUTup, finds the melodic twosome enjoying a dinner party amongst friends after Noah enjoys some quality time with the apple of his eye. “Bonjour” resides on Noah’s seven-song collection, You Should Come Over.
Along with “Bonjour,” Noah has a fistful of highlights on his latest EP. First, he has “Bounce,” a braggadocious vibe set on an appropriately bouncy melodic beat, and “Thank God,” which has NO1-Noah diving into the hip hop lane, a sign of his genre versatility that will only develop with future projects. During this past BET Awards Weekend, NO1-Noah hosted a mixer leading up to Summer Walker’s hotly anticipated A Hot Summer Night In LA at the Crypto.com Arena. There, the rising singer joined Walker onstage to perform their collaboration “Bonjour.”
After displaying beams of promise on Walker’s sizzling anthems, NO1-Noah inked a deal with her label Ghetto Earth Records in December 2020. Her first artist, NO1 looks to rattle the cages of R&B with his emo-leaning tracks and sticky hooks. His debut record, “Ridin For My Love,” flaunted his pillowy vocals and gutsy lyrics, the follow-up “Bounce” presented a seductive side, and his melodic muscles were on full display with his anthemic banger “Thank God.” Not only did the records demonstrate his versatility and ease at mastering a range of sounds and styles, they also skyrocketed the newcomer to more than 130 million streams in the US alone. The budding star has also been on the road for The Summer Walker Series concerts.
The promising songwriter was named one of Billboard’s 15 Hip-Hop & R&B Artists to Watch in 2020. Touted for his “ethereal vocals and intrepid lyricism,” NO1 first caused shockwaves in the R&B world when he appeared on Summer Walker’s EP Life on Earth on the standout tracks “SWV” and “White Tee.” With publications such as Rolling Stone and XXL already praising NO1-Noah for his extraordinary talents, “Bonjour” and You Should Come Over herald the coming of a full-fledged star.
