Her debut EP, Now I’m Here, was released to the world in Fall 2011, following the track and video premiere for her first single, “Blackbirds.” The hit song, made waves after premiering on Arjan Writes, and it piqued the interest of music fans everywhere. The video premiered soonafter to rave reviews on Pop Matters and was also featured on the AOL Music homepage. Novi’s originality is eclectic enough to hit the chords of any music lover in the galaxy.  The suave, electro-pop sounds that emanate from the speakers are a compulsive rise and fall of beats that capture listeners, hook, line, and sinker. NOVI is universally appealing.

AMV Spotlight of the Week

This weeks AMV Spotlight is on the Connichi 2010 1st Place winner for “Confession to the Dancefloor”.  This AMV was uploaded by YouTuber “Giang Le Phan Linh”.  The AMV takes the song “Remedy” performed by Little Boots and edits several different Shogo Anime.  The edited scenes fit almost perfectly for the song.  What I really liked about this AMV, more than anything else, was it’s use of having parts in black and white with highlights of color and then shifting into the full color parts.  The black and white sections remind me of when I’m reading Manga and the splashes of color I think are really classy.  For me the imagery takes over the AMV and the song is secondary.  I can see why this one was a winner, great job!  You can watch it on YouTube under “[Connichi 2010 1st place] Confession To The Dancefloor – Remedy – Little Boots” or check it out below:
