Our Take

It's not every day that a rock icon shifts gears and embarks on a solo project, but Ville Valo has done just that with his debut album "Neon Noir." Known for his brooding lyrics and haunting vocals as the frontman of HIM, Valo takes a more electronic approach on this record, blending his signature deep baritone with pulsating beats and synths.

From the moment the opening track "Love Runs Cold" kicks in, it's clear that Valo is taking us on a journey through the neon-lit streets of his mind. The album is a masterclass in atmosphere, with each song enveloping the listener in a haze of melancholy and longing. Tracks like "Gothica Fennica" and "Vanity Lights" transport you to a dimly lit nightclub where the air is thick with smoke and desire.

But don't be fooled by the album's title - "Neon Noir" is not all gloom and doom. Valo injects plenty of wit and charm into his lyrics, giving the songs a playful edge that sets them apart from his previous work. "Skeleton Ballet" is a deliciously dark romp through the underworld, while "High Heels on Cobblestone" is a cheeky ode to late-night adventures.

Overall, "Neon Noir" is a bold step forward for Ville Valo, proving that he's as captivating as ever, whether he's fronting a full band or flying solo. So grab your leather jacket, slip on your shades, and let yourself be seduced by the dark allure of this electrifying album.
