Dream Pop from Courtney Nord

Born and raised in California, Courtney Nord grew up by the beaches of Los Angeles where she started making her own original music from an early age. With a penchant for cinematic soundscapes and a passion for emotive lyricism, she developed her own unique style of alternative pop music.

A talented songwriter and composer, she spends much of her time creating music for the music image with TV and film scores. With her solo artist work, she made her introduction in November 2021 with her debut single “Take it all”, followed up the next year with sophomore song “Nostalgia in Wonderland” which won the award for Best Music Video at the Chicago Indie Film Awards.

Going on to release a string of stellar singles, including several collaborative tracks with Mystik and her debut full-length record with the album Wonderland, she now brings us one of her latest releases with her recent single titled “Like Rainbows”.

Spinning a dazzling dream pop sound of moving lyrical writing and delicate melodic leads, with “Like Rainbows” Courtney Nord offers the perfect taste of her pop-focused sound, tinged with raw alternative inflections. Opened with bright echoing plucked guitar tones and a snapping beat, Courtney Nord’s alluring vocals glide above to craft a sound that’s both immersive and memorable while showcasing her stunning songwriting talent and vocal prowess.

Commenting on the single, she shares, “Like Rainbows is an emotional, melancholy, song about hope. When creating this song, I imagined a moody spring day in rain while drinking lavender tea, while physically being in the studio staring at the ceiling. I allowed my senses to lead me into what the melody evoked within. There is a touch of nostalgia inside the hopefulness and mourning in the song. This song felt like a turning point in my discography and opened me up to creating what will be my EP Wasteland coming out in March.”
