Artist spotlight: NORD

Independent rising artist NORD is our best discovery of the day, and we even wonder how we did not hear of him before. The singer has been developing his own unique sound and artistic personality for an appealing result.

We listen to his track ‘SORRY’ on repeat, an outstanding and modern recipe combining indie RNB with alternative hip-hop sonorities. 

Built over a captivating production, NORD, real name Carter, showcases his infectious vocals on the energetic trap-infused track. Lyrically, the song is about his life experience in terms of relationships and will resonate with a large audience. 

NORD delivers an addictive vocal performance with a chorus that instantly sticks with listeners and a laid-back flow. This is promising for the Portland artist.
