Nicky Romero – Novell [Protocol Recordings]

The Nicky Romero that fans around the world know and love has broken through with yet another hit. “Novell” is a track debuted on the Ultra Music Festival mainstage by Size Records boss Steve Angello, and it is the kind of record that just about broke the Internet with speculation. Following a large host of vocal collaborations, Nicky Romero returned to an instrumental blueprint, just like previous smash hits like “Symphonica”. “Novell” is a thoroughbred progressive house tune that has energy in every moment. The track starts off with a few bars of quiet, before a rather mellow synth starts to play out a simple chord progression. Nicky Romero slowly adds more and more elements to the sound on “Novell,” building up a powerful sound throughout the breakdown’s run. He also keeps adding to the chord progression, which shows off his taste for a dynamic record. After a buildup, the drop hits with a catchy melody and punchy bassline. Nicky Romero did a fantastic job crafting a sound that bridges the gap between breakdown and drop perfectly, and “Novell” is a hit ready for the summer and festival season.
