Review
Novo Amor's 2014 EP, "Woodgate, NY," is totally captivating with its haunting yet beautiful vibe that really pulls at the heartstrings. These four tracks—"From Gold," "Weather," "Cold," and "Holland"—are like a cohesive journey through raw emotions, displaying Novo Amor’s exceptional talent in creating atmospheric soundscapes. Each song has this deep, emotive quality that feels so personal and relatable.
Kicking off with "From Gold," you're immediately enveloped in a melancholic melody and poignant lyrics that talk about love and loss—so intimate and vulnerable. "Weather" stands out with its soaring chorus and vivid, relationship-in-turmoil vibe, sticking in your mind long after it’s over. The beautiful, slow-burner "Cold" really nails the contemplative mood, with deeply introspective lyrics and a sparse arrangement that lets the emotion seep through. Finally, "Holland" lightens things up with a catchy melody and a hopeful, resilient outlook—perfectly wrapping up the EP on a high note. "Woodgate, NY" is a powerful showcase of Novo Amor's deep songwriting and production skills. - Ava
