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
My All
Novaa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's alright to let go
There's no right and no wrong
I'm still giving my all
I can't please everyone
I've been trying for so long
It's ok to be soft
It's hard to be the one that opens up
When every door around you is still locked
But I don't wanna stay behind my walls
I still give my all
I will turn your blood into gold
I still give my all
I will set your body aglow
Sold my heart for a grand
Just to share all my love
But it's wrong to be bust
I'm still giving my all
It's hard to be the one that opens up
When every door around you is still locked
But I don't wanna stay behind my walls
I still give my all
I will turn your blood into gold
I still give my all
I will set your body aglow
