HIM mastermind Ville Valo (VV) will release his debut solo album, “Neon Noir”, on January 13 via Heartagram Records, distributed by UMG/Spinefarm. Today, Ville has shared the record’s third single “The Foreverlost.”
“‘The Foreverlost’ is yet another loud love song depicting the burlesque butoh between two world-weary souls.” says Valo “All my Carmina Buranas and ‘could’ve should’ve would’ves’ rolled into a neat little Gordian knot of the gothic variety.”
“‘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,” Ville previously stated. “It’s a teary mascara marathon between Robert Smith and Ozzy, with a dash of hope.”
“Neon Noir” track listing:
1. Echolocate Your Love
2. Run Away From The Sun
3. Neon Noir
4. Loveletting
5. The Foreverlost

Earlier this month, Ville released “Echolocate Your Love”, the second single from “Neon Noir”. “Echolocate Your Love” came five months after the arrival of “Loveletting”, which marked Ville‘s first new music in over two years, following the release of the three-track “Gothica Fennica Vol. 1” EP, also released under the VV banner, in March 2020.
