A raw and melodic ode to people pleasers, the Derry-based artist channels Paramore, Flyleaf, and Nessa Barrett in a soaring new release that confronts emotional boundaries.
FLAUVS NOVA, a rising indie pop/rock artist from Derry, Northern Ireland, delivers a soul-baring performance in her third single, “Blur”, released on 11 April 2025. It’s a track that lands with both vulnerability and strength—an empowering anthem for those who’ve ever felt drained by the pressure to please others.
Originally penned in 2022, the song was reimagined and refined with the help of acclaimed producer Tom Davis, who helped elevate its dynamic balance of emotional softness and punchy rock drive. The result? A soaring, guitar-driven track with clear echoes of Paramore, Flyleaf, and Nessa Barrett, yet one that remains uniquely NOVA in its lyrical sincerity.
“Blur was written about people pleasing and how vexing this can feel for someone who struggles to say no,” NOVA explains. “It also highlights the shift that happens when you start prioritising yourself—and how others react to that change.”
From its introspective verses to its explosive chorus, the track traces a journey of emotional fatigue to self-assertion. It's both a cathartic release and a rallying cry. NOVA’s vocals cut through with clarity and emotion, layered over infectious alt-rock melodies and a chorus designed to be screamed back in solidarity.
Deeply personal and refreshingly honest, NOVA’s songwriting centres mental health, emotional resilience, and identity. Her influences—ranging from Radiohead and The Cranberries, to Fleetwood Mac and P!nk—are woven into a sound that feels both nostalgic and of-the-moment.
With Blur, FLAUVS NOVA proves herself not just a promising voice in indie rock, but a necessary one—tackling real emotional weight with fierce musicality.
