Canadian singer-songwriter Nova Rose is a classically trained vocalist and violinist who has effortlessly pulled in a fanbase by getting radio airplay and accumulating over half a million streams on multiple platforms.
Recently, Nova Rose has rediscovered her passion for the violin and shared her journey on Tik Tok where she has gained over 1 million views on her songwriting and violin content. She now incorporates her songwriting and singing with her recently discovered passion for the violin.
Nova Rose returns with the release of her highly anticipated sophomore self-titled EP. Filled with heartfelt lyrics and enchanting melodies, this mesmerizing collection of songs effortlessly combines elements of violin and dark pop sounds to transport listeners into a realm of captivating soundscapes.
The EP’s focus track, a heart-wrenching breakup single, ‘we used to’ sees Nova Rose combining strong storytelling with a unique sound. Written and produced with Mark Vesprini and Kayla Diamond (The Strumbellas, Billboard Top 10 Artist), ‘we used to’ begins with an atmospheric indie-pop soundscape drenched in heartbreak where you could hear a pin drop. Nova Rose captivates listeners with glimpses of violin throughout the track, pulling on their heartstrings, with a delicate and creative take on pain and suffering.

The sorrowful instrumentation is paired with Nova Rose’s alluring vocals to create a passionate experience for the listener.
On the song, Nova comments, “It’s about how much it hurts when someone you’re still in love with pulls away when you don’t have anger or hatred to lean on and distract you from the sadness. When it feels like you’re not just losing a person but a whole life that you’ve been envisioning for yourself. It’s about the last dying breaths of a relationship where all you want to do is hold on and make them last forever because the idea of being alive beyond them and facing the unknown on your own is terrifying.”
The self-titled EP represents every stage of breakup grief, from denial to acceptance. Through emotional melodies and vulnerable lyrics, Nova Rose brings listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions. She shares her own experiences of heartache and healing. From the initial shock to finding hope again, each song captures a different part of the journey.

Naud Takes Flight with ‘Un Gars Bian’: A Wild Ride of Music & Madness
Photo credit: Isis Mecheraf

After ten years of musical mischief, Naud has finally dropped anchor, or rather taken flight, with Un Gars Bian, an album that feels like a hug from an old friend and an impromptu dance party all at once. This high-energy, genre-mashing adventure blends alternative pop, electro, funk, and whatever else Naud felt like throwing into the mix. Think Marseille’s “joyous chaos” bottled up into soundwaves, bursting with playful unpredictability.
Leading things off is “Déjà Vu,” a sweet-and-sour love song about a romance that spanned across Europe but never quite took off, kind of like booking a first-class ticket to heartbreak. It’s got just the right mix of experimental vibes and catchy pop magic to make you groove while overthinking your past relationships.
The album title, Un Gars Bian, is a cheeky play on words, merging Marseille (city in France) slang for “seagull” (gabian) with “un gars bien” (a nice guy). It’s basically Naud in a nutshell: a free-spirited, big-hearted artist who wants to spread good vibes, reckless creativity, and a touch of joyful madness. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also launched an Un Gars Bian t-shirt line, because what’s better than wearing your philosophy on your sleeve, literally? Grab yours here!
So, are you ready to embrace the joyful chaos? Un Gars Bian is the perfect excuse to dance like nobody’s watching and live life with a little more mischief. Let’s gooo!
