Noora Noor, also known simply as Noora (born July 8, 1979), is a Somali‑Norwegian neo‑soul singer. Noor began performing locally at age eight and signed a recording contract with Warner Music at 15. She then started working with the production team Stargate on her first album. The success of this debut helped launch Stargate’s international career as R&B/soul producers. Noor’s debut album, Curious, was released in 1999 and became one of the first notable Scandinavian R&B albums. The single “Need You” received heavy rotation on MTV’s The Lick. Curious was also successful in Japan, selling more than 40,000 copies. It took five years before the release of her second album, All I Am (2004), as Noor had been diagnosed with tuberculosis. The album featured more self‑written material, created in collaboration with U.S. and U.K. songwriters. She also appeared on Madcon’s 2007 album So Dark the Con of Man and on several releases by Tommy Tee. In addition, Noor portrayed Maria Magdalene in a large outdoor production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Her most recent album, Soul Deep, was released in Norway in March 2009 to rave reviews and received a top “dice 6” rating from the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang. Recorded in San Jose, California, with local blues and soul musicians — including members of Little Charlie & The Nightcats — the album was produced by guitarist Kid Andersen. It was released internationally in 2010, with the first single appearing in the Benelux region in April/May 2010. In March 2011, Noor competed in Norway’s national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011, Melodi Grand Prix, performing the song “Gone with the Wind.”
