Artist Inspiration for Nova's Image

Nova's style and image has been inspired by different elements of female singers, whether that be their appearance, stage presence or genre of music. Here are a few examples of female artists who have moulded and inspired Nova as a pop star:

• Jorja Smith
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Her online presence as a new and upcoming artist has been getting a lot of positive feedback from views and she is developing a solid fan base in preparation for future songs and events. Jorja Smith comes across as fun loving and edgy, and is known for her fashionable outfits and modern songs.

• NAO
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Nova is inspired by Nao's beautiful aesthetic across all media platforms as the synergy is very cohesive and bold. She uses bright solid colours like in the above pictures along with iconic hairstyles. She comes across as free spirited and confident which is one of the reasons why she has a great fan base.

• SZA
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

SZA, similar to the other artists, has a very noticable, strong identity, who loves her music. She is seen as a pop/R&B star and is adored by many, but she also comes across as down to earth and relatable, which is what we aimed to do for Nova. SZA is also a newly discovered artist who is creating a very strong fan base and is building up her fame very quickly.

• FKA Twigs
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

FKA Twigs is a known singer, but not as popular as the other artists above. She is known for her alternative music (which is not everybody's taste), her unique style and her abstract videos and advertisements. Near the end of Nova's music video, the song gets progressively more abstract and strange. The visuals for that part of the video take inspiration from FKA Twigs and her extremely creative and artistic image.
