NOVA ONE - "crying"

NOVA ONE is the musical project of Roz Raskin. The Providence based artist took a little bit of a departure on their last single, "dangerous." Their latest, "crying," is a return to the dreamy modern indie rock meets oldies style doo wop we've come to love from NOVA ONE over the years. While a lot of NOVA ONE's music has been more quiet and intimate, "crying" is a huge power ballad of a song that sweeps up the listener in a warm, sonic hug. It's a sad song, but in an uplifting way that looks forward to the future. If a song can be both twee and gigantic, this is it.

Roz Raskin says that their new song "... is in many ways a love letter to a young queer roz. hope you dig!"

You can listen to "crying" below. create myself is due out March 31 on Community Records. The album can be pre-ordered through Bandcamp. For more on NOVA ONE, check out the artist's website.

NOVA ONE - "dangerous"

The latest single from NOVA ONE is a sonic departure of sorts. Over the years, we've gotten used to their dreamy, washed over blend of dream pop. Their latest single, "dangerous," shows Providence's Roz Raskin showing off their rock side a lot more. The song still has that dreamy sound sweeping over you, but it's a much faster tempo song than we've heard from NOVA ONE. The guitar is much fuzzier than expected, and there's even a great solo towards the end. Hearing an artist push their boundaries this far while still sounding like themselves is a hard thing to pull off this well. We can't wait to hear what Raskin does next!
