On February 13, 2026- Novulent released their debut album VOL.3 via Capitol Records that truly expresses the journey of an artist who is endlessly creating music as they learn about themselves. And this album is the end of that journey. Novulent created such a cinematic and atmospheric album that will consistently pull in the listener deeper giving them a cathartic feeling. Listening to VOL.3 from start to finish will make you feel like you are in an emotional blur, but the intensity of those emotions intensifies as the album continues through each song. Each song expresses certain themes that fans can resonate to and be able to understand the true beauty behind the lyricism.
“sacrifice” is one of my favorite tracks because it represents the emotional core of despair of knowing that you have to let go of someone because holding on will only destroy you. “sacrifice” is understanding that surrendering that love, dependency, and intimacy with the person will allow you to not lose your own identity. Listening to this single will truly impact all listeners because we sacrifice many things in our lives, but don’t want to come to realization of how long these sacrifices might linger.
“Dysphoria” is an immersive single that has a hazy tone to it that truly encapsulates the alienation of existing within yourself, but you are craving another person to fill in that dark void. Listening to this song is filled with intimacy that is being swallowed by the desire of being in love, but also what happens when that love consumes you. The single is heavily distorted with vocals that’s drenched in desperation and the feeling of escaping from emotions that causes emotional tension. “Dysphoria” feels unresolved, but at the same time the listener will be able to authentically relate to the lyricism if they are experiencing the same situation
“the world ends with you” is the last single on the album and the beginning of it gives me a sense of healing and understanding of who you are as an individual. And realizing that at the end of the day when the world is quiet; the love you have for a specific person will only consume you to the point where you lose yourself. The single wraps up the whole album because when you listen to this song; you understand that Novulent is telling a story through each song and “the world ends with you” represents the hollow body that once was a person filled with emotions and how life can change your storyline.
Interviewer: Let’s start with the most basic question first. Can you give us some insight about who you are as an artist? Just a little background for new listeners!
Novulent: “I’m Novulent, a 21 year old solo singer/songwriter that makes rock music in their bedroom.”
Interviewer: Your music is very immersive and truly captures the intention of pulling at all your emotions; can you explain a little bit about the major themes of this album release and what lead you to create music that can resonate to your listeners?
Novulent: “VOL.3 is the ending to my album trilogy. I describe it as a coming of age album. You hear me grow up with each album, the way I sing, the way I write out my lyrics etc. VOL.3 is the end of that. I’m not endlessly wondering, I’m content. I’m at peace, comfortable with the unfamiliar and that unfamiliar is love.”
Interviewer: “Novulent”; how did you come up with that name and how does it connect to your music?
Novulent: “i wanted to be called nova but that was already taken so i just kept on randomizing words to match and boom i got novulent. its a striking name that stands out just the way i like it”
Interviwer: As a person who loves to understand the process of music being made; can you tell us a little bit about some studio stories and how the songs were created?
Novulent: “i don’t ever work in studios, all my music is made in my room. studios make me feel uneasy and uncomfortable, its too corporate and robotic. i don’t really have any “studio stories” since when i make a song it’s usually a rush of emotion i feel that i pour out into song form.”
Interviewer: With this album release; what tracks mean the most to you? And why?
Novulent: ““the world end with you” is my favorite and i can’t tell you why, you have to listen to the album from start to finish then you’ll get it”
Interviewer: Out of all the tracks; which ones do you think will have the largest impact on listeners?
Novulent: “the song i hope connects with my novas is “the world end with you” but it probably will be “dysphoria” based on reactions ive already seen”
Interviewer: “sacrifice” has to be one of my favorites so far; please tell us more about that single?
Novulent: “that song is a late track i made in developing VOL.3. its about the realization that to improve, you must give up something and in this case its a relationship (whether its a friendship or dating relationship it doesnt matter, wtv fits your situation). and so the entire song is mourning that loss, not letting it prevent you from improving and achieving what you need to. thats why i love the lyric “may your name be forgotten in history but inside you your heart speaks to me give me one more chance” – it perfectly captures the song. in time youll forget the person you “sacrificed,” you wont think about them, they wont even be a memory anymore despite this. the other person will want to come back to you swearing things will be better but its too late they know that you know that.”
Interviewer: With this new album; were you able to express all the emotions you wanted to through all the lyricism?
Novulent: “Yes. i don’t mean this in a hyperbolic sense, its literal – VOL.3 is my perfect album ive never been so sure of an album before”
Interviewer: Last question; what’s the main message you want to give to your listeners about this album release?
Novulent: “take your time, take it all in – the emotions you feel, the lyrics that hit you the most, remember that and cherish it. this journey of mine is also yours so enjoy the moment”
