Novum Ovum

Description

Because King Khan isn't the only one with a crazy musical trajectory. There's his daughter, Saba Lou, who is calmly making her own way. After a first album, Planet Enigma, released two years ago, the young German, who recently celebrated her 19th birthday, is back to surprise us with its successor, Novum Ovum. Blending 1960s rock'n'roll, folk, soul, jazz, calypso, and country, Saba Lou favors normality over her father's eccentricity. And Novum Ovum addresses this theme with its ten new, deliciously retro tracks, such as the introduction "Primrose Diner." It's impossible to resist the splendid sounds of "Dirty Blonde," "Penny Rolls," or even "Telepathetic," which attest to their emotional power. Novum Ovum impresses with its warm, swaying atmosphere, its guitar lines, and its liberating vibe. Outstanding and hypnotic tracks like "Silver Pill" and "Cherie Sherabou" demonstrate Saba Lou's magnetic power to transport us far away. This second opus brilliantly combines these musical influences with a dose of mysticism that only she possesses.
