NEW TRACK ‘I MAKE SPARKS’ NOW STREAMING ONLINE
EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR TO TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT MAY
‘I Make It Sparks’ originally featured on physical copies of his debut album ‘Birthplace’ sold in Japan, is available on digital streaming platforms for the first time.
‘I Make Sparks’ is a cover of a song by Irish artist Katie Kim, from her album ‘Salt’. I fell in love with her bedroom demo a few years ago and have been looking for an opportunity to record my own version, to show my appreciation for Katie’s music. I found time after I’d finished my debut album, ‘Birthplace’, and it became a bonus track on the Japanese release. I’m really happy it’s getting a release worldwide now’
2019 started with the release of a 2-part short film in collaboration with Novo Amor’s long-time producer-director duo Jorik Dozy and Sil van der Woerd (aka Sil & Jorik). The group’s collaborations have always sought to highlight an important issue, with Novo Amor’s music providing a naturally cinematic soundtrack to the emotive scenes. For this latest project, visuals were used to shine a light on climate change and, in particular, the devastating impact of air pollution.

In March, Novo Amor teamed up with Gia Margaret to release a special double A-side single. Entitled ‘No Fun’ and ‘Lucky For You’, the two tracks were written in 2018 after the pair met whilst Gia Margaret was supporting Novo Amor on his North American headline tour. Acoustic in nature, the two tracks epitomise the sweetness and fragility found in both musicians’ solo work. Melodically sparse, the tracks are an intimate moment in time.
