New Next Naommon French Singer Flips the Soul Switch on US Debut
6 janvier 2007
“Electro-purple-fluoro-plastic-sulky-acid-housey-soul-clashy-disco-sequin-pop” is how Paris-to-Harlem transplant Naommon aptly describes his debut album “Allnighter,” twelve tracks of glittering, gritty and grounded electro-soul.
A child of the Eighties, teen of the Nineties, clubber of the 2000s, Naommon embodies—both musically and physically—a myriad of continually morphing influences from the spaceglam of Bowie, androgyny of Prince and acidfunk of Deee-Lite, to London’s creatively fucked up NagNagNag parties and New York’s popping Downtown scene.
It was Naommon’s appearance on the French talent TV show, “Popstars” (similar to MTV’s “Making The Band”), that sparked collaborations with hot electro producers Christophe Dallaca and Stéphane Deschezeaux (Kiko & Gino), resulting in several hot singles on International Deejay Gigolo Records, including “Good Sluts Factory” and “Jack The Box.” (See discogs.com for more discogs.com) Clubbing brought further introductions, bringing Naommon together with producers Julian Creance, Human Body, Julien Lenoir, Dondolo, Danton Eeprom, and Copyshop, the latter four of whom produced the tracks on “Allnighter.”
Naommon fans include UK producer Mark Moore, queen of electro-soul Billie Ray Martin, stylist/artist/photographer (she gave Madonna her “Boy Toy” look) Maripol, electro cat Larry Tee, The Ones, and the brilliant Princess Julia
Naommon’s “Allnighter” album and the “Allnighter” video are available now on iTunes, but the album will officially launch on August 7, 2007. Review copies on request. Please contact andy@penetrationinc.com
