The latest single from Nolo Grace, “Eyes Of The Dragon” is an indie electro-pop track that hooks you right from the word go. The synths set up the ambiance and rhythm right at the start, and it just rings in your head until you get into Nolo’s ethereal, layered vocals that take you further into the dreamy atmosphere.
“Eyes Of The Dragon” delves deeply into the human psyche for the duality within us, both light and dark. It is an introspective journey inspired by the manifold faces we wear, conveying the strengths and weaknesses that can be depicted. The song reminds us that we might recognise ourselves in the dragon’s might and power while being embracingly pure, seeing our true selves.
Produced with the skilful hands of Martin Wave, “Eyes Of The Dragon” is truly a work of cosmic cinema, ethereal and experimental. Mellow in its lush production, it carries an atmosphere that couples perfectly with the soulful vocal delivery from Nolo Grace, making it a song that helps dig deeper into self-reflection and growth.
Transformation and self-discovery have been powerfully summarised in the lyrics of one Nolo Grace. “Eyes of the Dragon is inspired by the theme of transformation and the multiplicity of self,” she says.
“I believe that we are interdimensional and infinite beings – we have multiple versions of self that we can tap into, including our higher self, shadow self, our inner child, etc. I wrote this song about the fact that we all have the ability to tap into our higher self and have a more expansive view of ourselves and the world.”
The track is Nolo Grace’s ode to the levels of existence of herself at once—her present self experiencing all the highs and lows that come with living, the witness to observe the journey, and the higher self to offer guidance and wisdom. That is a spiritual connection with the dragon: strength, power, and purity in the seeing of one’s true self.
Nolo Grace’s story is as inspiring as her music. She is a Korean-American artist and producer who entered the significant world with “Wake Up,” featuring Sean Kingston. After coming from New York in 2017, she relocated to Los Angeles after living as a digital nomad worldwide. She has a unique sound, eclectic, with mixtures of pop, R&B, and hip-hop experimental genres that mirror very much her rich and diverse experiences and background.
From a tumultuous childhood to a corporate executive on Wall Street, Nolo Grace’s life is a journey of transformation and resilience. Her music has carried her through to placements on Netflix’s Bling Empire, but more importantly, it has carried her on a journey through loss, healing, and personal growth.
Nolo Grace is also the co-founder of PARASOL, a creative community that fosters the innovative spirit and raises consciousness. This collective vision to provide a sense of home and belonging in physical and virtual worlds fits perfectly with the themes explored in “Eyes Of The Dragon.”
As Nolo Grace continuously worked on the recording process of her upcoming full-length album, “Eyes Of The Dragon,” more explorations will be peeped into this incredible transformation and development throughout life. This single serves as but a mere teaser of the depth and ethereal otherworld that she continues to paint, promising much more thought-provoking and soul-stirring music still yet to come.
Nolo Grace draws out an enchanting track on “Eyes Of The Dragon,” in taking listeners on a deeply personal journey of self-realisation and transformation. In reminding us that each one of us has the strength and wisdom of a dragon ready to be released, it’s a beautiful reminder.
