It is one of the best written songs in the album showing Henry’s artistic style. (13) “UCLA” features 24hrs, giving a shoutout to RL Grime’s hometown Los Angeles in this song. From start to finish you can feel every emotion imaginable laid out into the music, and somehow you feel and understand it all.”- Taylor Hinojosa (Founder of RL Nova Team) “NOVA is the kind of album anyone can relate to. (12) “I Wanna Know” featuring Daya, RL Grime went out of his comfort zone, exploring new ideas on this song. The piano in the end transitions perfectly into “I Wanna Know”. (11) “Run Your Life(Interlude)” is one of the best interludes that I have ever heard, you have close your eyes and vibe to it. “RL Grime At Coachella Do Lab Stage” by Andrew Keyser It’s a high energy trap song, the last drop on it is a drum and bass. (10) “Era”, the second single released of the album, it features Redman. I expected this song to be in a lot of artist sets this festival season. The drop on this song will leave you feeling haunted while throwing those trap arms in the air. (9) “Pressure”, this a collaboration with Boyz Noize, he has been playing this song in his live sets for while now. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out, and as a fan, I can’t wait to hear more” – Kristina Westervelt (RL NOVA Team Member) Even though many of the songs were heard in sets or released, the layout of the album gives each song a new perspective and story as you listen through. It capture’s how RL Grime has changed and grown as an artist, and was clearly driven by more collaborative work – presenting a well-rounded, emotional, and meticulously planned album.
“ NOVA is the perfect complement to VOID. It is one of Henry’s favorite songs to play in his live set. (8) “REIMS” was the first single released on this album, everything in this song is perfect. The best part of this song is the way it transitions perfectly into “REIMS”. (7) “Shoulda”, this songs reminds me of Julia from his “VOID” album, it has that dark feeling to it. Ill be expecting to hear this song on a lot festival sets. Joji kills it on the hook and Chief Keef lays it down with his verse. (7)” OMG” features the heavy hitters Joji and the legend Chief Keef. “It sounds like you start on a lazy river in the cosmos then when the drops hits you ride the tsunami of a solar system”-Zak Aslane (TRILLVO Member). (6) “Take It Away” featuring Ty Dollar $ign and TK Kravitz, starts with a nice vibe but it gets dark. He’s a very unique and talented artist.” – Mitchell Eddy (Member of RL NOVA Team) He’s stepped outside his comfort zone and created a masterpiece that really defines him. There’s only one way I can describe this song, it’s exactly what one of RL Nova Team members tweeted “me trying to understand how you took two of the softest voices in music and made one of the hardest trap bangers of all NOVA has opened my eyes to an entirely new character of Henry. (4)”Undo” first premiered worldwide at Ultra Miami 2018 when he closed the worldwide stage. The vocals are amazing, it gives this really awesome summer vibe for festival season. (3)”Light Me Up” was actually an old Jack U demo, (Diplo was the executive producer for this whole album) RL Grime brought Julia Michaels and Miguel for the vocals on this track. “A breath of fresh air in the world of dance music and a total expression and evolution of RL’s artistic view and unique sound.”-Dalton Smith (Founder of RL NOVA Team) This track features Freya Ridings who has an amazing voice, giving this song a powerful character.
He has actually been playing the instrumentals to (2)”Shrine” for quite sometime now. There’s a completely different vibe to it. From the beginning you can hear the direction RL Grime is taking on this album.
NOVA starts off with ‘”Feel Free”, the opening track of the album.
