The title track, 'A Minute', sets the tone with its reflective mood, brought to life visually by director Kate Hummel, whose video concept beautifully mirrors the song’s understated intensity. From there, the project moves into 'Godspeed', a collaboration with SB ARRA of Amsterdam collective Benkel, written in an off-the-cuff session that captures the ease of making music with friends.
'Come Around' introduces vocalist Razeen, who Norah first met while working at a vintage shop. What began as a friendship rooted in a shared love of fashion grew naturally into a creative partnership, with Razeen becoming a regular presence in the studio alongside Norah, MOR.LOV, and other collaborators. While Norah and Razeen’s connection came about organically, Razeen’s collaboration with MOR.LOV formed on a more professional level - a balance that brought both ease and focus to the track’s creative process.
Elsewhere, 'N1 Dub' emerged from a playful exchange at Groove God Jaïr Darnoud’s home studio. Norah had promised to fetch food if Jaïr and MOR.LOV would make a dub beat, and the track that followed stuck with its working title, “N1” - a fitting name for a song that captures the spontaneous, free-flowing energy that runs through the EP. At the time, MOR.LOV had been jamming regularly with Jaïr in his now-legendary home setup - part studio, part kitchen, part bedroom. “It was bound to happen that we’d throw a collab together,” MOR.LOV says. “Norah and I were super excited to have him on the project. The drums, the arrangement, the sound design, Norah’s impeccable vocal dynamics - and the solo was a one-take while we had the track looping in the background. Jaïr’s is low-key and in my experience, notorious for secretly recording your jams, and blessed he did so, I am pretty sure that was one of those ‘I am sure I won't play that again exactly like that, haha’”
Closing track 'Is It' unfolds in a cloud of smoke and soft reflection - an intimate snapshot of emotion laid bare over MOR.LOV’s spacious production. It’s one of the duo’s most instinctive moments, a song born entirely in flow. “It’s probably my favourite track I’ve produced,” MOR.LOV recalls. “I was at Norah’s place, completely in the zone - each drumline just came out naturally. She’d gone to make food, and I was jamming on the keys until the chords came through. When she came back and got excited, I knew we had something.” That spark of connection carried through to the finished song - Norah’s vocal gliding effortlessly over layered drums and warm, fluid keys. “She’s got such a good ear,” he adds. “Not easily impressed, which makes her excitement in that moment really special. It gave me a confidence boost that helped me keep the track exactly where it needed to be.”
