“Filming this video in my hometown—and in my very own childhood bedroom—was such a surreal, full-circle experience. This song is incredibly personal to me; it lives in that space between nostalgia and the push-and-pull of missing home while knowing you had to leave to spread your wings. Every moment of filming felt like a literal walk down memory lane, and I’m so grateful (and so excited) to finally share it with you all,” said NORA.
Directed by Karl Weidmann of Southern Cabin Films, the video places NORA. back in her childhood home, walking the empty hallways of her high school, and brushing past many recognizable landmarks in downtown Harrisburg, PA. NORA. shared more behind-the-scenes via her Instagram (HERE).
NORA.’s single “Since I’ve Been Gone.” continues to build momentum across platforms landing on Ones To Watch #NowWatching playlist, DittyTV’s New Music Friday playlist, Holler.’s Best New Country Songs playlist, and Fandom Daily’s Must-Listen tracks. The latter shared her, “...blend of contemporary country-pop elements will surely appeal to fans of Kelsea Ballerini, Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves.”
“Since I’ve Been Gone.” follows NORA.’s bold and unapologetic debut single, “Kiss My Ass.” Both songs will be included on her forthcoming EP Just Words. due out on Jan. 30th.
NORA.’s debut EP Just Words. is a candid exploration of self-discovery, personal growth, and the complexities of relationships. Title track “Just Words.” interrogates the true meaning behind the words we speak and examines the concepts of love and trust with emotional vulnerability. The confident and lyrically-smart “Kiss My Ass.” showcases her contagious sense of humor and unfiltered storytelling. Meanwhile her current single, "Since I've Been Gone." balances both nostalgia and self-reflection, packaged into a radio-friendly, synth-pop singalong. In totality, Just Words. paints a deeply relatable and honest portrait of early adulthood and personal evolution.
Based in Nashville, Tenn., NORA. discovered her love for music and songwriting early, a passion that led her to Belmont University. It was there that she honed her craft, writing songs inspired by everyday moments and lived experience. After graduating, NORA. made the bold decision to walk away from a traditional 9-to-5, choosing instead to follow her own creative path. Most recently, she made her performance debut at Nashville’s iconic Whiskey Jam and performed as part of Musicians On Call’s Hope For The Holidays campaign.
