Documenting the millennial love and relationship experience through his alternative Afrofusion sound, NOVA uses his versatile voice, honest songwriting, infectious melodies, and lush soundscapes to create exciting music that sits in a unique pocket offering the best of hip-hop, RnB, soul, and afrobeat in a glorious fusion. His last release, Replay, is a concoction of these elements, and built off the back of its success, comes another testament to his mastery of them, Precious Diamond featuring Toronto songstress Katasha J, as he continues to tease his upcoming fourth studio project and the highly anticipated follow-up to his seminal 2019 record S.T.A.Y (Still Think About You).
Produced by Toye Aru, and engineered by Bankyondbeatz, Precious Diamond is an infectious RnB leaning offering, with lush pop and afro-fusion sensibilities, over which NOVA continues to lean into the vulnerability he began to reveal on Replay, as he pines for experiencing life’s special moments with someone special, this time with the help of Katasha J, who adds her sultry harmonies and delicate vocals, to the glorious affair.
Speaking about the inspiration behind Precious Diamond, NOVA says, “this track is about appreciating that special someone in your life. Katasha and I worked this song the first day we met, and it was like magic. I had already started writing the song but when we connected everything just came together organically. What’s more precious than diamonds? Well, I wish everyone who gets to hear this has the opportunity to experience a connection that makes diamonds just a complimentary gift to that truly special person”.
