“Really blissful vocals, reminded me of Sade, but with darker atmospheric tone of the song, they are so great. Love the strings and the mood they have, slower rhythm and drums and how the song is arranged, specially the vocal edits and how perfectly they all sound. ”

“Guitar melody/riff hooked me from the start. With a beautiful vocal that reminiscence the voice and style of one and only Róisín Murphy at times. Love when I hear similarities with the someone I really like. Amazing electric guitar solo in the middle of the song. ”

“In the voice -lyssa neiman- the notes of parting and farewell are heard, which she cannot hide in the same way as those who listen to this sad, but in their warm and mental acoustic composition. In the end, only one desire remains - to include it again and delve into each executed word.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“В голосе -Alyssa Neiman- слышны нотки расставания и прощания, которые она не может скрывать точно так же, как и те, кто слушает эту грустную, но по своему тёплую и душевную акустическую композицию. В конце остаётся лишь одно желание — включить её вновь и вникнуть в каждое исполненное слово.”

artist said about this song:
"I wrote this song about my current boyfriend who I am so in love with. It’s about how he makes me feel so loved and special and Im scared that one day he’ll break up with me like my past relationships, except this one I won’t recover so easily from."
“This track is able to captivate your heart with vocals -erika wester- and the Dream Pop melody, in which the author’s state of mind is so beautifully conveyed. Peering into the blue of the sky, hoping to find the very star of your happiness and make a desire, turn on this track. It will definitely help you. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Этот трек способен пленить ваше сердце вокалом -Erika Wester- и мелодией Dream Pop, в которой так красиво передано состояние души автора. Вглядываясь в синеву небосвода, в надежде найти ту самую звезду своего счастья и загадать желание, включите этот трек. Он обязательно вам поможет.”

Artist said about this song:
"I wanted this song to feel breezy and easy to listen to. It's a bit brighter sounding than the rest of my songs. The lyrics are sort of haunting, and I love putting together the juxtaposition of easy listening mixed with dark lyrics. The song is about putting someone you love on a pedestal, only to realize over time that they are not who they seem."
“Acoustic melody carries a completely stunning atmosphere saturated with beautiful vocals, an increasing atmosphere and energy. Feels the author’s special trepacy to the approach of his work. Beautiful and serene. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Акустическая мелодия несёт совершенно потрясающую атмосферу, насыщенную красивым вокалом, нарастающей атмосферой и энергией. Ощущается особая трепетность автора к подходу своего произведения. Красиво и безмятежно.”
-Nagamag.com
The song is my most raw and emotional track thus far. Tried to capture the emotion that everyone has felt before when you have something intense going on inside of you and on one hand you don’t want to tell anyone about it and you just want to shut down and on the other hand all you really want is to share and have someone hold this thing with you and see what you’re going through. Hope you connect and hope others get strength from it.
“Minimalistic style full of personal touch, in a Slowcore song based mainly on lyrics. The obsessive "November Ultra" can gently affect your ears and keep the warmest company with her crystal voice. Lay back and feel these words!”
-Nagamag.com
November Ultra makes music that feels like you’ve fallen into someone’s diary. Extremely intimate, it welcomes you in, offers you a seat and puts its arms around you to share its stories.
Music – and singing, specifically – has always been a source of happiness and peace for Nova. She began singing when she was a young child and immediately fell in love with the way it made her feel. “There’s a video of me where I’m yelling that I love to sing,” she explains. “My dad’s coming home and just wants some peace and he’s like, “We can sing tomorrow”. I’m like, ”I don’t want to sing tomorrow – I want to sing today until tomorrow.”
She is, as she acknowledges herself, an obsessive person – a trait she shares with her Spanish grandfather, Ramón. It was him who kickstarted her love of singing, teaching her first song – a Spanish song from the copla genre – when she was three years old. He introduced her to musicals from the ‘60s, like The Sound Of Music, which she would beg to watch again as soon as it had finished, which have gone on to influence the theatrical element of her own songs. Ramón’s enthusiasm, passion and knowledge have been “so instrumental and so important” to every aspect of November’s work.
On “Soft & Tender”, November asks: “Is that your morning voice? I really love your morning voice.” “I recorded the second verse on a Sunday morning so that really is my morning voice,” she laughs. “You can see that it’s not the same texture in vocals [as before], but that’s what I like – I’m embracing the story of how I made that song.”
These little moments and characters that appear also belie the musician’s love of language. Before she was able to focus on music full-time, November worked in audiovisual subtitling, in which she has a master’s degree, and growing up with Spanish and Portuguese parents in France meant she has spoken three languages since the age of six. Bedroom Walls itself features a trio of tongues – English, French and Spanish, each of which symbolize something different.
As a singer-songwriter, she divides her time between recording studios and her DIY bedroom-studio, working for others as a topliner/songwriter (Jaden Smith, Kungs, Barbara Pravi) while recording, exploring and producing her own songs on Ableton. November Ultra went viral on TikTok last summer when Camila Cabello posted a video on TikTok using the song ‘’Come into my arms’’ which went viral and saw November Ultra’s TikTok getting more than 8M views and a lot of Duet Me videos leading to her becoming one of the Billboard Song Breaker in August.
“The emotional part of this song lies on its singer and lyrics. Balanced presentation and male voice with deep confidence and impact. A rare example in which the whole composition can be compared with a big piece of gold.”
“Эмоциональная часть этой песни заключается в её вокалисте и тексте. Сдержанная подача, уверенный, мужской голос восхищают своей глубиной и воздействием. Редкий пример, когда всю композицию можно сравнить со слитком золота, настолько он хорош!”
-Nagamag.com
“Melodic guitar solo with elegant rhythm and sensual vocals. Acoustic Indie Folk ballad in its best manifestation. Song which perfectly transfers its melancholic mood, sending rays of hope in the hearts of its listeners.”
“Мелодичное гитарное соло, неторопливый ритм и чувственный вокал. Акустическая indie folk баллада в своём лучшем проявлении. Прекрасно передаёт меланхоличное настроение трека, вселяя лучи надежды в сердца своих слушателей.”
