Noora releases her third album "Soul Deep" around Europe in 2010. The album was released in Norway in 2009 and gave Noora the Norwegian Grammy for Best Female Artist.
Noora started on her musical journey performing locally from the age of 8. She got a recording contract with Warner Music as their A&R spotted her at only 15. She began working with Stargate to make her first album. The outcome of the album launched Stargate´s international career as producers.
Her debut album 'Curious,' was released in 1999 and became one of the first real Scandinavian R&B albums. The single "Need You" was also played constantly on "The Lick" on MTV. Curious became a success also in Japan with more than 50 000 sales. It took some time before we saw release of her second album "All I Am" in 2004, as Noora became seriously ill.
Noora's third album was titled "Soul Deep". The album takes Noora back to the roots of soul music and is more a Stax sound than Motown. The album was produced by guitarvirtuoso Kid Andersen in San Jose, California. Her reviews for the record in Norway were top of the dice with 6/6 in VG - Norway's largest daily newspaper.
Noora is busy recording her new album Spring 2012.

Your Good Thing
Noora Noor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause somebody else will
You don't have to love me when I want it, no
'Cause somebody else will
Some kind friends say you don't need it
When all the time they're tryin' to get it
Look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end
Is about to come to an end
All those nights I watched the four walls
I did not have to watch 'em all alone
When other men said they wanted me,
I didn't have to tell them I was yours
You have all the love that I've got baby
Even ice melts when it gets hot
Look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end
Your real good thing
It's about to end
Gettin' myself back together
Is gonna be a be problem I know
But when the right man says he wants me
Boy, you can bet I won't tell him no
'Cause your real good thing
Is about to come to an end
Your real, your good thing
Your good thing baby
Your good thing
Your good thing
Your good thing baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In "Your Good Thing," Noora Noor sings about a woman who is tired of being taken for granted by her lover. She has realized that she does not have to beg for his love and affection because someone else will be willing to give it to her. Her friends suggest that she does not need to put up with his neglectful behavior and that she deserves better. She warns him that his good thing is about to come to an end and she is getting herself back together, so when the right man comes, she will not hesitate to leave him. Noor suggests that the woman is tired of being mistreated and is prepared to move on to someone who will treat her better and appreciate her worth.
The hook "Your good thing is about to come to an end" implies that the man should be cautious because he is about to lose the woman that he has taken for granted. The woman in the song is confident and has found her self-worth. She is not afraid to be alone, and she knows that someone else will be ready to step up and love her. Noora Noor beautifully conveys the feelings of a woman who is slowly breaking free from the chains that her lover has put her in.
