about

This is the 3rd official studio album from Karl Nova. It was totally written and produced by him. The theme is all about surviving and thriving in the crazy times we are presently in. We are in a time of social upheaval, fear and political tension, this album was birthed out of dealing with these times mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

We all need some inspiration and upliftment and these songs are anthems born out of Karl Nova trying to keep himself uplifted through trying times. He retreated into himself during a confusing time and emerged with this from the depths of his soul.

There is quite a kaleidoscope of sounds Karl Nova paints with on this album, he goes from the trap sounds on the socially conscious anthem "Statement of Intent" to the soulful house sounds found on "For Such A Time As This (Take Two)" As an East London resident he couldn't help but draw from grime sounds on "It's Just How It Is" "Don't Stop" and "Still I Rise Again"

On "Lagos To London" he draws from his background of growing up as a child on Lagos, Nigeria's hot streets with the afrobeat meets trap music mesh of sound that he uses to tell his story of going from London to Lagos and from Lagos back to London.

There are the calm soulful, jazzy sounds found on "Calm" and "Relax" which speaks to the influence of Karl Nova listening to A Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, The Roots and others and how they have been a great inspiration to his sonic direction.

All in all this is a rich and unique audio experience to sink your teeth into. It has high replay value with sound that will leave you immersed in its sonics and energised by the passion from his soul.
