🎉Sunday Update!🎉 GOOOOOOOOOOOD SUNDAY, EVERYBODY! 😁☀️ It is finally time for this week's Sunday Update! 😎😁 This week I got on TikTok! 🙊 and WOW! What a reception you gave me! As of now my only video there has been seen 26 700 times, and been liked by 2600 people! 😱 so that was fun! 😋 I have a few ideas for what I may do next on the platform 😎 but if you have any ideas as well, PLEASE leave a comment, as I'd love to hear them all! 😍🥰 After a few recording sessions this week I've finally finished "Coffee Music"!!! 😁🎉😁🎉😁🎉 So now I'm just working out details such as which track list order I feel gives the album the best flow, how the cover art should look, and stuff like that 😊 But let me tell you: it is REALLY amazing, and I DEFINITELY think you'll love it!!! 😁🥰 As of now it looks like it'll be 34 minutes long, with 10 different songs, all acoustic 😊 OH! And don't forget that if you want to have some merch with the thumbs up design, then there's only 6 more days until it's being taken down! 🙊 At the moment all of my merch is also 20% off to sweeten the deal. Link to my merch in the bio 😊 I think that is it for this week 😊 I hope you're all doing well, and that you'll have an amazing week! 😁🥰❤️ #sundayupdate #sundayupdates #norskmusikk #norwegianmusicians #oslomusikk #acousticmusic #musicgram https://www.instagram.com/p/CMrJIsdpKGS/?igshid=ttx1rzd2xw0r

🎉Sunday Update!🎉 GOOOOOOOOD SUNDAY! 😁 This week I wrote a song! 😁 It's called "Am I Enough", and is about the uncertainties and doubts one might experience at the start of a relationship 😊 I really like it myself, and I think it's a song a lot of people can relate to 🥰❤️ and if you're interested in hearing it, I've posted a video over at YouTube of me playing it 😊 As you may know I have recently started a project of trying to make my catalogue more organized, mainly through removing singles which has either already been available on other releases. And this week I've started contemplating whether I should do something about "Opus Pilates" as well 🙊 I think I'd like to repurpose the songs from the album, and put them together with songs that are more alike them 😊 When I first released "Opus Pilates" I wanted it to be a very varied album, and showcase how I could operate within different genres. So it was sort of inspired by what both The Beatles and Queen did time and time again where they'd make albums consisting of songs with wildly different genres and musical expressions 😎 Though I still enjoy albums which pull this off, I'm starting to feel like "Opus Pilates" is more of a hot mess in its current form than an album which manages to pull this off. It also feels like despite the album containing some of the strongest tracks in my catalogue, several of them are difficult to really appreciate where they currently are found. And I'd like to fix that! 😁 And that is it for this week's Sunday Update! I hope you're all doing well, taking care of yourselves and each other, and that you'll have a wonderful week! 😁🥰❤️ #SundayUpdate #SundayUpdates #JohnNoirSmith #GoodSunday #songwriting #YouTube #AmIEnough #relationships #relationship #organizing #organising #OpusPilates (ved Bjølsen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMZYRA-AGf-/?igshid=1o4mb073xirz5

🎉Sunday Update!🎉 First of all: I'm sorry I haven't posted any updates the past two weeks!!! 🙈 There's been a lot of stuff happening in my personal life. But to be honest: there's not too much you've missed out on either 🙊😊 But now I have news for you! 😁 @AschenMusic has now sent off our song "Sunrise", and it is due to be released on the 22nd of March!!! 😁😁😁 It is SOOOO GOOD!!! I can't wait for it to be released, because honestly: I wanna listen A LOT more to it myself! 😁😎 So I hope you'll all give it a listen when it comes out, and that you'll love it as much as we do! 🥰 And speaking of dropping new releases: "Nighttime" (the album) was dropped on Friday!!! 😁🥳🎊🎉 And thank you SO MUCH for checking it out!!! 😁😁😁 it seems like loads of you did, and I've had SO MANY AMAZING comments on it, and how much you loved it, and it REALLY warms my heart to hear you loved it 😍😁🥰 I think that is it for now 😊 I hope you've all had a wonderful week, and that this upcoming one will be even better! ❤️ #JohnNoirSmith #SundayUpdate #SundayUpdates #Aschen #Sunrise #Nighttime #NighttimeTheAlbum #SpotifyDrops https://www.instagram.com/p/CMINhxPJj2t/?igshid=1snf96mfjedyt

🎉Sunday Update!🎉 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! 😁❤️❤️❤️ This week I got more merch! 😁 and it seems like it wasn't just me who thought the baseball jacket was really cool! 😎 I've been wearing the merch even more, and gotta say: I'm REALLY happy about it! So I can really recommend the products I've tested thus far! 😁 Link is in the bio 😊 Which reminds me: I now have a Linktree! This means I can add more links to just one page, so if there's anything you're looking for, it should be possible to find it there 😊 @BeingAMonkey's song "AML 2" dropped on Friday! 😁 he sampled my song "All My Loving" on his song, and was kind enough to make me a featured artist (which means you'll be able to find it at the bottom of my Spotify artist page in my "Appears On" section) 😊 I hadn't heard the final version myself before it dropped, and it's just SOO GOOD!!!! So I've kept listening to it this weekend and putting it on repeat as that chorus is just too good not to! 😋 Yesterday I started organizing my artist page a bit more. Which really means I'll be deleting some of my singles, making it easier to get an overview of my catalogue 😊 I had 24 singles when I started, and have already removed two of them ("What To Do" and "Oh My Buddha!", both of which are still possible to find on "Uncoollaughlaugh") 😊 And last but certainly not least: I finished an album yesterday!!! 😁 It'll be "Nighttime - The Album" when it drops, and yes: same cover and same name as the single. But it's just such a nice cover that @Marija.Vlasova made me, and as I'll eventually be deleting the single, AND the songs have sort of the same theme, it just makes sense to me 😊 So now I'm just listening through the album, trying to work out all the kinks, before I'll send it off to be released 😊 I think that is it for this week's news! 😁 So have a nice week, and I hope you're all enjoying Valentine's Day, no matter if you're celebrating it by yourself this year or with someone you love! 🥰❤️😁 #JohnNoirSmith #SundayUpdate #SundayUpdates #Merch #BaseballJacket #Linktree #AML2 #BeingAMonkey #Spotify #AppearsOn #FeaturedArtist #WhatToDo #OhMyBuddha #Uncoollaughlaugh #Nighttime #NighttimeTheAlbum #Ma https://www.instagram.com/p/CLRqpURJKBV/?igshid=1f163pad9idlq

🎉Sunday Update!🎉 Hello everyone! I know it's been two weeks since the last update 🙊 I've tried keeping you a BIT updated through my Instagram Story though, and will try to incorporate it more on a regular basis 😊 Okay, so: In three days "The Star-Spangled Banner" is releasing!!! 😁 I'd like to say it was inspired by "Auld Lang Syne", but it was actually the other way around. I recorded "The Star-Spangled Banner" in this sort of form for the first time around 10 or 11 years ago. This is not the version I'll release now, but what I'd made all those years ago was the inspiration for how I wanted "Auld Lang Syne" to sound like, and then figured it'd make sense to release "the original" as well 😊
I MIGHT want to make more songs like this, as I like doing them, I like listening to them, and it seems like you may do so too! 😁 I've also been writing a lot of songs lately. Not really sure if anyone of them will even be recorded, but it's still nice to write some more songs 😊 There's also been this company called Sessions which have been in touch with me lately. They've seen my videos over at YouTube, and - as far as I can understand - wants me to do live shows through streaming and pay me for it. Which sounds nice, so I'm considering it 😊 Oh, and the lovely @noir_smith made me a bunch of pictures which he sent me this week! 😁 They're a mix between logo suggestions and album cover suggestions I reckon, and they're very good! 😁 I posted them earlier today, so if you haven't seen them yet and you're curious, I advice you to go check them out 😊 I think that might've been it for these two past weeks. I can't wait for my next two releases to be out and hear what you all think of them! 😁 Hope you've all had a wonderful week, and that this coming one'll be even better! 😊 #JohnNoirSmith #SundayUpdate #SundayUpdates #InstagramStory #TheStarSpangledBanner #StarSpangledBanner #AuldLangSyne #Songwriting #Sessions #StreamingConcerts #NoirSmith #ArtistLogo #AlbumCover #Music #Instagram #Update #Updates https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJpGSuJZxJ/?igshid=vqw2716huquh

🎉Sunday Update!!🎉 * Ladies and gentlemen: it is time for another Sunday Update! 😁 * This week has mostly been about promoting music I've already released, and my, oh my how well that's paid off! 🙊 We've gone from having had approximately 35 listeners the last month merely a few weeks ago, to now being at 90 listeners this past month!!! 🤯
AND "Auld Lang Syne" is already at 175 streams!!! 😁 after just three weeks!!! 😱 THANK YOU SO MUCH EACH and EVERY ONE of you for having listened to it, shared it, added it to your playlists, and just for being such amazing people as you are!!! 😁🥰 I cannot tell you how many times this past week I've been watching the numbers and having a big smile on my face!! 😁😍 * But I also set up my studio this week and started work on another ambient project, which I've long been meaning to make. It's probably not ready for quite some time yet, but I have been meaning to dabble into the realms of dark ambient music as well. And on this album I think I'll use more guitar rather than just synthesizer (as I did on "A.M." and "P.M.") 😊 * And I think that is it for this week's Sunday Update! 😁 Exams are taking up a lot of my time and energy lately, so hopefully I'll have more of both for my music after this upcoming Friday 🥰 Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmastime, and that you'll have an amazing week! 😁😊🎄 * * * #JohnNoirSmith #SundayUpdate #SundayUpdates #Spotify #SpotifyListeners #AuldLangSyne #ChristmasMusic #ChristmasSong #ChristmasSongs #AmbientMusic #DarkAmbient #Guitar #Synthesizer #AM #PM https://www.instagram.com/p/CIvsk7iporM/?igshid=13heww5ifusxo

🎉Sunday Update!! 🎉 * I'VE REACHED 50 FOLLOWERS ON SPOTIFY!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁 Thank you SO MUCH each and everyone of you for following me!!! 😁 it makes me so happy and I'm so humbled by all of you, caring to follow me on Spotify and showing your support all the time through liking my posts on social media, listening to my music, allowing songs of mine on your playlists, telling me how much you enjoy songs of mine, and just…yeah, no, I'm speechless, and I'm very happy to have you all supporting me like you do 😊 you guys are the best!!! ❤️ * This week "Auld Lang Syne" also ALREADY passed 80 plays!!!! 😱 That's just incredible, and SO many of you have said such nice things about it to me, which I really REALLY appreciate! 😁 it seems I managed what I set out to do with it, and that makes me just so happy 🥰 * Apart from that I don't think there's too much new stuff to report. I've added some Canvas art to Spotify (which is that thing where you listen to a song on your phone and it's like "hey! We want to show you something which ISN'T the cover art!"), still looking to add more. But I've pretty much been busy with exams this week 🙈 so HOPEFULLY more to report next week! 😁 I hope you've all had a wonderful week, and that your next week will be too! 🥰 OH! And Happy First Sunday of Advent! 😁 * * * #JohnNoirSmith #SundayUpdate #SundayUpdates #Spotify #SpotifyFollowers #AuldLangSyne #ChristmasMusic #ChristmasSongs #ChristmasSong #ChristmasPlaylist #Christmas #Exams #FirstSundayOfAdvent #Advent https://www.instagram.com/p/CILnfR7pzRq/?igshid=qdgnu6skifcm
