Coming out of nowhere, John Novellus presents a sound that has pop sensibilities delivered with hip-hop aesthetics filtered through an electronic lens.
There’s an air of sophisticated mystery in presenting music with a name but no face, which by the way, is pronounced the way white folk might enunciate "novelas." His self-produced EP untitled. is forthcoming on January 26. With just a handful of tracks, there is more than enough here to keep folks dancing, heads bobbing, and the discerning listener intrigued.
“Talk Back” is the first single. If the syrupy voice doesn’t get you, the booming kicks will.
