about

Hot on the heels of a breakthrough 2020 which saw her earn the coveted title of Scottish Album of the Year, London-born, Edinburgh-raised musical polymath Nova returns on 5th of May with a brand-new, genre-straddling six-track EP entitled WWND? (What Would Nova Do?).

Produced in its entirety by local talent and past collaborator $1000 Wallet, the bite-sized project serves as a miniature concept album, its track listing doubling up as a checklist of the rising star’s personal and professional goals for the near future off the back of her recent high-profile SAY Award win.

Backed by preeminent tastemakers including Spotify, The Guardian, Clash and The Face, the emergent singer, rapper, producer and DJ – real name Shaheeda Sinckler – has rapidly risen to prominence as a versatile all-rounder, also channeling her creative energies into vivid visual accompaniments and even hand-crafting her own apparel.

WWND? is further testament to her unbridled ambition, taking cues from a vast array of musical subcultures including trap, afrobeats, future garage and alternative pop and distilling them into introspective, futuristic bops which defy categorisation.

With “Get Bands” underscored by twinkling keys and thumping 808s, “Lift Up” pairing muffled, melancholic guitars with rousing two-step rhythms, and “Love” fusing UK R&B sensibilities with trilled hi-hats reminiscent of late-era SoundCloud rap, the project looks set to whet the appetite of listeners of all persuasions—and that’s to name but a few of the soundscapes on offer.
