“The song is about the way love can carry you through life, particularly when things feel heavy. It reflects the comfort of having someone by your side, moving through challenges together while still allowing yourself to let go and trust where life takes you.”
Novine
THE RELEASE
Berlin-based German/Jamaican singer Novine lands on Stereofox Records for her debut, teaming up with Cologne producer Mr. Käfer.
The r&b/neo-soul single “What You Want” explores themes like love, solace, and trust.
Novine adds, “At its core, it’s about finding a sense of freedom in that connection and leaving the noise behind, going with the flow and knowing you don’t have to face everything alone.”
Novine’s warm, honeyed vocals are accompanied by Mr. Käfer’s stripped-down production with an afro-inspired drum groove and gentle piano, making the song both touching and intoxicating.
