Novaa began making music in her teens, experimenting on guitar and piano until she discovered Ableton. Riveted by its possibilities, she began learning the tool and composing songs for an album she intended to call Peaches. After her laptop was stolen, Novaa started over, using fragments of songs and ideas from the lost recordings. In the meantime, she made a collaborative EP with explorative Düsseldorf-based producer/singer Moglii (Simon Ebener-Holscher) called Down Under. It was released by Pennywine Records in mid-2016. Her solo debut, Stolen Peaches, arrived that October on the same label. She finished out the year with the stand-alone single "Weak Heart," a collaboration with Fishbowl Forbes for Beatdek Records.
Novaa was featured on Moglii's track "Tonic Water" in April of 2017, and later that year she issued an ethereal remix of the MADANII song "Wvtchmen" as well as collaborations with Alex Lustig and LO. The electronic-orchestral solo track "Club Paradise" followed on Novalty in mid-2018. ~ Marcy Donelson
Club Paradise
Novaa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angel-like, cannot fly
Only tattooed wings
On my human skin
Velvet ropes around neck
Halo fell off my head
I don't live by rules
Don't believe in truth
People talk, people stare
Heaven calls, I don't care
Let me just take a bite
Welcome to Club Paradise
Welcome to Club Paradise
Here's to you, here's to me
Do the things that you keep from us
You could be a friend
With you demons
A toast to the free,
To the misfits, and creeps
We're the devil ones
But the devil's gone
People talk, people stare
Heaven calls, I don't care
Let me just take a bite
Welcome to Club Paradise
Welcome to Club Paradise
All these innocent people
It makes me sick
I think I'm about to lose it
Ain't nobody's born sacred
I don't want to live to be a goddess
Welcome to Club Paradise
Welcome to Club Paradise
Welcome to Club Paradise
The lyrics of Novaa's "Club Paradise" speak of an individual who rejects societal norms and expectations. They embrace their flaws, which are symbolized through their "tattooed wings." Instead of aspiring to be angelic, they embrace their human nature and reject any notion of living by rules or believing in truth. This person finds no solace in the idea of heaven, instead, they find comfort in the idea of Club Paradise, a place where misfits and creeps are celebrated.
The chorus of "Club Paradise" hails "the free," "misfits," and "creeps" - individuals who may feel marginalized or out of place in society. The idea of club paradise is a safe haven for people that don't want to conform to societal ideals. It seems that the song's protagonist seeks to find like-minded people in the club and a sense of belonging in this space. The song's bridge speaks of the singer's disdain for the notion of "innocence" or "sacredness," which suggests a rejection of traditional purity ideals.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it is exploring the idea of rejecting societal expectations and seeking a sense of belonging in a space where unconventional individuals can find acceptance. The song's chorus calling out to the "free" and "misfits" can be interpreted as a call to those who reject social norms to come together in a space where they can express themselves fully.

I've been listening to this song for a year or so and I just don't know what it has but I can't stop listening to it. It is the best song I have ever heard and I have NEVER never tired of it. Thank you Novaa for making this wonderful song. Without it I could not live. I must also confess that I have been a fan of Billie Eilish for three years, but since I listened to Novaa I have realized that her voice is much better than Billie's, and that's why I do not understand why Novaa is not as famous as she is. . I guess it's a matter of time. Please Novaa you have to come to Spain, I need to at least see you face to face and know that you know that I exist. Please come to Spain and I swear that even if I don't have much money I will go to see you at your concert no matter what happens.
Too much love from Spain❤️
@areyounovaa
I’ll come to spain and play a concert, it might take some time but I give my best to make it happen 🧡🧡🧡 much love to you
