Boys Noize announces first solo album in five years ‘7LLVSION’
And a new single “1+1+1” featuring ZEP.
Boys Noize by Ian Buosi.
Electronic music stalwart Boys Noize (Alex Ridha) has announced his new solo album in five years, 7LLVSION.
Alongside the announcement, Ridha has shared its lead single, "1+1+1" featuring Rotterdam underground artist ZEP, who lends his shifty and personality-filled voice to Ridha's blistering beat rife with synth arpeggios and relentless drums.
The album will be released on November 6 and will feature Brutalismus 3000, Abra, and more, and is available for pre-order and pre-save here.
7LLVSION. – his first solo offering since 2021's +/- — comes after a prolific period in Ridha's career. Earlier this year, he collaborated with Nine Inch Nails for a joint Coachella set dubbed Nine Inch Noize (that became its own live album). In 2024, he created a mixed album version of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's score for Luca Guadagnino's steamy tennis flick Challengers, which has become an indelible part of pop culture.
In 2019, Ridha chatted with The FADER's Salvatore Maicki about producing Frank Ocean's "DHL" and his work with Lady Gaga. "It was a really magical time with him as well, and that means a lot," Ridha shared about his time with Frank.
Stay tuned with The FADER for more news on Boys Noize's forthcoming album and listen to "1+1+1" below.
