“Tempting cliches roll about the tongue when attempting to describe Laurenne’s impact — garage queen, neo-soul goddess, punk trailblazer… all the social media superlatives that have become diluted to the point of futility. But, having constructed a body of work that refuses confinement, turning style into a working language, while remaining rooted in her creative core values, Nicole Laurenne is a present force destined to be present in the future.
On February 13, 2026, Black Viiolet released her second album Dark Blue to fawning revues, mostly because it’s a bloody good album. Luxuriously coated in a smoky lounge velvet, the dark jazz trip hop neo soul project is a moody listen built around atmosphere, restraint and late-night emotional collateral. This is a Farfisa no-go zone, where lipstick on the mirror is traded for lipstick classily applied where it belongs, on the piano player.”

moments from the last two days..
- a rare solo moment in a Colorado theater after Darts soundcheck 🙌🏻 which gave me time to post about my upcoming Black Viiolet summer European tour 💕
- singing on the bar in Salt Lake City of all places 🤷🏻♀️
- I don’t usually play through a Marshall but when there’s one on stage.. I still play through my Fender 😆😆
- skeletons who danced on stage with us ☠️
- @radioreelin sporting a Black Viiolet pin at his show in France with @thebriefs 🥰
I will never take one second of this for granted 💙💙

When life gives you lobbies… make a studio
Or something like that 🤷🏻♀️ working on session keys for one of my Seattle band faves @clothingoptionalmusic in a Utah hotel lobby before tackling our drive to Colorado today 🦾
Good thing there’s plenty of lobby coffee
#blackviiolet #clothingoptionalmusic
it’s been quite a couple of days as we make our way into the mountain states..
I got to meet Radio Boise in person at our show there 💕 and in Salt Lake City I discovered Pie Hole pizza has a great pesto and also it turns out that drinking root beer, Dr Pepper, and Red Bull interchangeably over the course of half an hour is pretty insane 🤪 don’t say I didn’t warn you
But the last pic proves that tour muscles are a real thing 💪🏼💪🏼
Off to conquer Colorado tomorrow! And then Arizona… hope I get to see lots of old friends this week 🥰 I’m running out of Black Viiolet merch on this tour leg so if you want it grab it up quick

Like most wearers of fishnet stockings, I’ve learned to wear socks inside them to protect my toes from the vicious netting .. which gets downright painful after a few hours without socks 🤷🏻♀️
But tonight I upped my game with my @sjockfestival socks ..and I think this is the most rock my feet have ever been 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Plus I got to ride on the shoulders of a guy called Baboon who let me grab onto handfuls of his hair like reins so I didn’t tumble off. #winning

How do we all get along on so many tour dates??
What are the personality traits of a road warrior??
What’s a tour merit badge*??
.. get all the answers in this clip from our interview in Reno with @kwnk97.7 radio
*tour merit badge system conceived on my last Black Viiolet tour during long convos with @theweswatkins in the van 🙌🏻🤘🏽🎉
SEE YOU IN SALT LAKE CITY TOMORROW Thursday May 14 at the International ☠️☠️☠️
