Novo Amor

Data updated on 2025-09-13 07:16:22 UTC
Novo Amor, a poignant voice in the indie-folk music scene, is known for his ethereal soundscapes and hauntingly beautiful melodies. Born Ali John Meredith-Lacey, he hails from Cardiff, Wales, but recently relocated to the tranquil Welsh countryside, a move that has substantially influenced his music and creative process.

Novo Amor first captured global attention with his enchanting track "Anchor," released in 2017. This song, characterized by its tender acoustics and evocative lyrics, has amassed over 393.2 million streams on Spotify alone, standing out as the crown jewel in Novo Amor's discography. His music, which combines delicate vocals and a fusion of acoustic and electronic elements, resonates deeply with listeners, echoing themes of love, loss, and transformation.

With a total of more than 2.1 billion streams on Spotify, Novo Amor has carved out a distinctive niche within the music industry. His work is not just listened to; it's felt. His ability to capture complex emotions in simple, yet profoundly touching lyrics, paired with soothing instrumentals, provides a sanctuary for those who seek solace in music.

Novo Amor's journey through music is deeply personal, a factor he openly embraces in his biographical accounts and interviews. His latest album, "Collapse List," recorded in 2023, is a poignant reflection of significant personal changes and revelations he experienced over three years since the release of his previous album, "Cannot Be, Whatsoever." He discusses how the completion of his preceding album and the early days of the pandemic played pivotal roles in prompting him to leave his long-time home in Cardiff for a new beginning.

The transformation from city life to the countryside is not merely a change of scenery for Novo Amor. It's a return to his roots, akin to the environment he was raised in, where his father had a studio next to their home in a renovated stone barn. This sentimental journey influences his music profoundly, infusing it with a sense of nostalgia, depth, and an earthy authenticity that underscores each track.

In his new home, an 1800s barn converted into a living space with an adjacent plot where he personally helped tear down stables to build a studio, Novo Amor finds a renewed inspiration. This physical and metaphorical space to create has allowed him to explore and express his evolving perspectives on life and music. It's in this creative haven where he crafted "Collapse List," embedding within it introspections on life's impermanence, the essence of personal growth, and the often complex dance between our desires and realities.

One striking line from his new songs, "my legs won’t go where my head wants," epitomizes the struggle between aspiration and reality—a theme that resonates through much of Novo Amor's work and connects deeply with his listeners. Moving forward, it is evident that Novo Amor's music will continue to evolve, reflecting his life’s path and the scenic, yet profound simplicity of the countryside, drawing more listeners into his heartfelt journey through sound.
