Review
"Birthplace," the debut album by Novo Amor, captures the essence of its creator's introspective and emotive musical style. Released in 2018, the album consists of 10 tracks that beautifully merge haunting melodies with deeply resonant lyrics, taking us on a journey through personal landscapes and experiences. Songs like the titular "Birthplace" and "Emigrate" are particularly moving, each exploring themes of home, memory, and belonging with a tender and evocative touch.
The music video for "Birthplace" is an artistic triumph, perfectly aligning with the album's reflective nature. Directed by Sil van der Woerd and Jorik Dozy, it portrays the poignant story of a man revisiting the submerged pieces of his past, creating a powerful visual representation of the album's exploration of memory and identity. This album not only highlights Novo Amor's skill as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter but also offers a deeply immersive experience for anyone who has ever contemplated the complexities of their past and the places they call home. - Ava
