Norton - Heavy Light [2020]

YANDEX (192 Kbps)

‘Heavy Light’ marks the return of Norton with an album which is a pact on how to deal with the intimacy in the pop song. On building future memories. Without nostalgia or regrets. With sharing and love.

A deeply urban album that, still, doesn’t cease to drive us to look at breathtakingly vast and bucolic landscapes. As if, in one minute, we were at the top of a skyscraper in Tokyo, contemplating the architectural infinity, and, in the next, travelling without destination, in the open sea, with the wind and the currents of the ocean.

Each song is, in its own way, a mirror of the confused times in which we live. However, they bring optimism and hope challenged by the shadow of the unknown. And, of course, again, the love that runs like the sweat on any dance floor. Free rein, flying backpack, the city streets seen from above, bursting. Everything can happen.

‘Heavy Light’ consists of nine songs written and recorded between Castelo Branco, Lisbon, Vila Velha de Ródão and Mértola – Portugal.
