Kind Blade by MJ Noble
Doom Trip Records and MJ Noble present "Kind Blade" - The artist's second full-length album, and her first for Doom Trip.
With commanding vocal performances and adventurous arrangements, Los Angeles-based producer MJ Noble creates a world of her own; inviting listeners to enjoy a wealth of sounds across 13 tracks. She explores pop music, with songs like "I Miss Dancing" and "Be Here For It," but she also executes more daring compositions, as heard on tracks such as "The Dragon's Rose" and "Lifeforce." By the time one reaches the final track, it's clear that this producer is someone who can reshape nearly any sound into one that fits in her domain.
With every element of the album written, produced, and performed by the artist, there's a level of clarity to her vision that's obvious upon a first listen. Fantasy themes are found throughout the release, but her lyrics remain firmly rooted in reality; as she sings passionately about various life experiences. A striking balance between real and imagined worlds provides the album with a highly alluring atmosphere.
Perhaps most importantly, MJ Noble sings with undeniable sincerity. No matter the subject at hand, her voice exhibits truth. This honesty, combined with the dynamic nature of the album, helps to make "Kind Blade" one of 2022's most intriguing releases.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Mom and Dad. I am beyond blessed that you have always seen me, supported me, loved me, and believed in me throughout my lifelong artistic journey. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without your love.
