"Noid" is a song by American experimental electronic music artist Yves Tumor. Written by Tumor, it was released on July 24, 2018, as the first single from Tumor's third studio album, ' 'Safe in the Hands of Love' ' on Warp Records (2018). The song is an anthemic comment on police brutality. It was produced by Yves Tumor, with Justin Raisen as co-producer and recording engineer.[1][2][3]
"Noid" samples "Grace" by Sylvia St. James.[4] It has a "percussive, string-sample lead" and a "hook-laden chorus" with Tumor singing lyrics invoking "fear and trauma induced by police brutality" and expressing his experience of PTSD and depression.[5]
The song received favorable reviews from music critics who applauded the song and its accompanying music video calling it gritty, propulsive, jarring and captivating.[1][2][6][7][8]
