Interview: Noelle Toland - Sun Will Rise

Nashville based singer/songwriter Noelle Toland is bringing the 90’s country sound that’s braided with soul and mixed with modern and classic elements in her new single Sun Will Rise. With the world premiere that aired exclusively on Clewes’ Country UK radio show, this song is now available on all digital streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and more. Written by Noelle Toland and Chris Condon (Billy Ray Cyrus’ musical director and guitarist), Sun Will Rise is for those who feel lost. The inspiration came during quarantine at her home in LA. As everyone was trying to make sense of this new normal, Noelle channeled her feelings on the worldwide chaos and upheaval into a stunningly emotional song that is sure to inspire many for years to come.

Kamil) Hey Noelle Toland, super nice to have the chance to chat with you. What first got you into music?

I've been singing my whole life. I first got on stage at the age of five and I've been hooked ever since.

Who would you most like to collaborate with?

Adele, Luke Combs, George Strait

Your latest song is 'Sun Will Rise'. Can you tell us more about the making of it and if there were any unusual things happening during the process?

I began writing 'Sun Will Rise' in the middle of quarantine in 2020 whilst trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. I was searching for something to give me hope that everything would be OK, and this notion of the sun and the moon being the opposite sides of the same coin really struck me. The darkness can't last forever.

What are you focussing on right now?

I'm about to release the music video for 'Sun Will Rise'! It premieres tomorrow on The Country Network!

What is the best advice you’ve been given?

Don't ask for advice.

What is the biggest challenge of being an artist?

Tuning out everyone's creative input and sticking to your guns.

How do you structure your day?

I exercise in the morning, drink coffee and then get to work.

Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of music?

I bake really good chocolate chip cookies! I love hiking, being outdoors and exercising.

Do you sing in the shower? What songs?

Yeah! Opera

What are your plans for the future?

I'm working on more songs to release!
