Overall NOVA is a journey through the world of Trap.
Tunes like ‘Reims’, ‘UCLA’ and ‘Rainer’ help hold the anticipated level of intensity many fans had for the album. OG Fans Do Not Worry…įans of the harder side of RL Grime have literally nothing to be worried about.
RL GRIME NOVA LEAK FULL
These shimmering gems help break up the full frontal assault of trap beats present throughout. ‘Run For You’ and ‘Atoms’ are two songs which immediately come to mind as more low key tunes that contain a depth and weight we have not yet heard from RL Grime. That being said, the album does an excellent job including records that are sublimely subtle and downright beautiful. The LP has countless tracks which will make any listener’s jaw drop in terms of high energy, sound design bending productions. In a way, the track makes it apparent immediately that while NOVA has more depth than its predecessor it is in no way lacking in intensity. While VOID was aggressive, intense, and hard-hitting, NOVA is sophisticated, matured, measured, and innovative. While VOID was a masterpiece in its own right, it now appears as an angsty teenager whereas NOVA is a tailored young professional. NOVA though introduces a new side that we have not yet heard before from RL. The genre would be nowhere close to as prolific as it is today with his contributions to the sound.
When the genre of Trap is discussed RL Grime is always part of the conversation. The universally adored RL Grime, and the (unofficially) since-retired Clockwork.
At only 27 years old, the Los Angeles based artist has left an impact on electronic music with his two monikers. Henry Alfred Steinway is a truly talented individual.
