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

Novaa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We will sort it out, quietness is all near
I don't wanna touch you, no
This is not touchable
Come on, take my hand, we will leave the ground
Flying there above to build what we found
You don't wanna see me, no
This is not physical
They won't see where we go
Go, block them out, we will dance alone
Step by step, we will leave them all
Come on, let this go, we will make them fall
They've been trying to keep this small
Come on, let this go, we will make them fall
This ain't something small
Come on, take these stairs, they will guide you all
All the love you have grows back to the dark
We don't wanna feel this, no
This is not material
Don't put trust in what you have seen
These words are all human needs
I don't wanna know them, no
This is you in a versus life
We live in a shelter that nobody knows
It's irrational, it ain't human world
We are made to happen, we just didn't know
Can you hear this grow? Silence talks to you
The song "Rose" by Novaa is a beautifully crafted piece that speaks to the feeling of being alone with someone - blocked out from the world and the noise that surrounds us. The song opens up with a call to turn down the volume, to sit and sort it all out in a space of quietness. Novaa's focus on touch is recurring - she doesn't want to touch the person she is with, as this isn't what their interaction is based on. Rather, they are set to fly together above all the noise of the world and build a connection that is not physical. This song speaks to the essence of true human relationships beyond the touch of the skin - a connection that goes deeper than that.
The song's chorus brings a sense of defiance, blocking out those who would come between this human connection, dancing and stepping away from those who try to keep it small. The lyrics suggest that those who oppose this connection will fall, as it isn't something small. Rather, it has immense importance, and it will not be held back. The second verse brings back the focus on touch, explicitly saying that this connection is not material, and the singer cannot trust what she has seen. In the end, the song speaks to the human need to connect, to be with someone who feels the same way, who understands that the world is not all noise, but is also silence that talks to us.

This is the type of song that's on when you lay eyes on someone who leaves you in complete awe. This song puts you in some type of hypnotic state and the "Silence talks to you" man.
