Our Take

NOVO AMOR's latest album, Cannot Be. Whatsoever, is a whimsical journey through dreamy folk melodies and hauntingly beautiful vocals. The Welsh singer-songwriter truly outdoes himself on this record, weaving a tapestry of emotions that will leave you feeling both melancholic and uplifted.

From the opening track "Opaline," with its ethereal harmonies and delicate instrumentation, to the closing notes of "Statue of a Woman," which build to a crescendo of raw emotion, NOVO AMOR showcases his ability to craft intimate and introspective songs that resonate with listeners on a deep level.

Tracks like "I Cannot Be Myself" and "Birdcage" are standouts on the album, showcasing NOVO AMOR's unique ability to blend elements of indie folk and atmospheric rock into a cohesive and engaging sound. The production on Cannot Be. Whatsoever is top-notch, with each song feeling like a carefully crafted work of art.

While some may find the album's introspective nature a bit heavy at times, overall, Cannot Be. Whatsoever is a masterful display of NOVO AMOR's songwriting and musical talent. Fans of artists like Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens will undoubtedly find much to love in this latest offering from one of the UK's most promising talents.

About the artist

Novo Amor

NOVO AMOR is the moniker of Welsh singer-songwriter Ali Lacey. Hailing from Aberystwyth, this indie-folk crooner burst onto the scene in 2012 with his debut EP "Woodgate, NY." Known for his ethereal vocals and haunting melodies, NOVO AMOR has captivated audiences worldwide with his introspective and emotive songwriting. With a sound that is both intimate and expansive, NOVO AMOR has been compared to the likes of Bon Iver and Ben Howard. His music is a delicate balance of melancholy and hope, drawing listeners in with its raw honesty and vulnerability. Having collaborated with a diverse range of artists, from EDM duo ODESZA to film composer Alexandre Desplat, NOVO AMOR continues to push the boundaries of folk music and expand his sonic palette. Whether he's performing solo with just his guitar or backed by a full band, NOVO AMOR never fails to deliver a spellbinding live performance. His haunting vocals and stripped-back instrumentation create an atmosphere that is simultaneously intimate and otherworldly. In a world saturated with manufactured pop stars and cookie-cutter indie bands, NOVO AMOR stands out as a true original. His music is a breath of fresh air, a welcome reminder that there is still beauty and authenticity to be found in the world of music. So if you're in need of a musical escape, look no further than NOVO AMOR. You won't be disappointed.
