ENTERTAINMENT: Former HIM Frontman Ville Valo Has Announced Details Of His Debut Solo Album ‘Neon Noir’

Former HIM Frontman Ville Valo Has Announced Details Of His Debut Solo Album ‘Neon Noir’. Coming January 13, 2023, ‘Neon Noir’ will feature recently released singles ‘Loveletting’ and ‘Echolate Your Love’ as well as the three tracks that made up 2020’s ‘Gothica Fennica Vol. 1’ EP – ‘Run Away From The Sun’, ‘Salute The Sanguine’ and ‘Saturnine Saturnalia’.

Announcing the record, Vallo said: “‘Neon Noir’ is a sonic step-by-step guide on how to survive, and perhaps even enjoy, the realm of VV with its abundance of things that go bump in the night. It’s a teary mascara marathon between Robert Smith and Ozzy, with a dash of hope.”

Pre-orders for ‘Neon Noir’ are live here, with the artwork and tracklisting below:

Speaking to Kerrang! about the record, Vallo said: “Doing this album, and doing it the way I did it, gave me a chance to reflect, in a way, or to have a different perspective of who I am or what I want to do and what I have done and what can be done better, and so forth. Which then ended up being basically doing exactly the same thing I had before.”
