YAMILA - Announces new album ‘Noor’ - Out February 6th on Umor Rex - First single “Prado” online now

Photo credit: Assiah Alcázar    Today, Yamila unveils details of ‘Noor’, her second album under the Umor Rex label, to be released on February 6th, 2026. In this new work, the Spanish cellist, singer and producer intertwines strings and electronics to sculpt landscapes where listening expands toward territories of dusky beauty.   The album was born under the shelter of a secret ecological community. There, among damp meadows and the song of a blackbird, Yamila feels an ancient urge—to sing to the bees. Inspired by ancestral rituals in which sound served as a bridge between species—to summon herds or soothe the trembling sky - the artist listens to the wind and reimagines that lost practice through a contemporary language: titanic harmonies dissolving into fragile microtones, rhythms that pulse not merely as measure, but as breath that stirs the body.   On today’s new single “Prado” (Meadow), Yamila celebrates the power within vulnerability. A song about being strong without violence, her voice merges with electronics and the resonant strings of trio Echo Collective, weaving a sonic tapestry that shifts between the monumental and the intimate, the incandescent and the whispering. She sings of finding  “great strength in what is fragile,” evoking the ecstatic, almost mythical possibility of interspecies love.    Listen to “Prado” here: https://youtu.be/RJ-tsxNqpz8 ‘Noor’ album pre-order links: https://allinone.umor-rex.com/ur159   ‘Noor’ sings to the living—a prayer to fertilize the earth and return its breath. Yamila’s music is not simply meant to be heard: it is inhabited, breathed, and felt as a living organism. It is a choreography of air, emotion, and resonance. ‘Noor ‘emerges as both refuge and revelation - a reminder that music can still be epic and radiant, profoundly human, while listening - reverently - beyond the human.   If ‘Visions ‘was an exploration of myth and transcendence, ‘Noor’ - which means “light” in Arabic - radiates a quiet devotion to care, fragility, and renewal. Written while Yamila was trying to conceive her daughter, the album carries a luminous sense of hope and nurture. “There’s so much desire to cradle and mother the world,” she says. “It’s an album that speaks about care - the importance of caring, and how little we value those who care for others.”   Born in Granada and now based between Brussels and Madrid, Yamila’s path has traced a bridge between electronic innovation and classical form. She has performed at festivals such as Sonic Acts, Rewire, and Ars Electronica, and composed for renowned dance institutions including the Nederlands Dans Theater and Gothenburg Opera. ‘Noor’ feels like the culmination of these threads: an album of elemental grace, ancient instinct, and tender, defiant light.   ‘Noor’ track list: 01 Embrasser un Arbre 02 Ascensión 03 Sin desarraigo 04 Lo animal 05 Prado 06 Luces Robóticas 07 If you 08 Diamonds 09 Vida   ‘Noor’ artwork (click for high res):   Links: Web | Instagram | Spotify | Facebook | Bandcamp
