“Tempting cliches roll about the tongue when attempting to describe Laurenne’s impact — garage queen, neo-soul goddess, punk trailblazer… all the social media superlatives that have become diluted to the point of futility. But, having constructed a body of work that refuses confinement, turning style into a working language, while remaining rooted in her creative core values, Nicole Laurenne is a present force destined to be present in the future.

On February 13, 2026, Black Viiolet released her second album Dark Blue to fawning revues, mostly because it’s a bloody good album. Luxuriously coated in a smoky lounge velvet, the dark jazz trip hop neo soul project is a moody listen built around atmosphere, restraint and late-night emotional collateral. This is a Farfisa no-go zone, where lipstick on the mirror is traded for lipstick classily applied where it belongs, on the piano player.”
