PRE-SAVE/PRE-ORDER
Album out Friday March 6
Harry Charles returns with Nova, his third full-length album and second on Loop Electronic. Written with the dancefloor in mind, Nova captures a new chapter in Charles’ evolution, one that leans into immediacy, rhythm, and the shared experience of live performance. Following the singles ‘The Luck’, ‘Zero Zero’ and ‘Great Pages’, the album sees Charles refining his sound into something brighter and more direct.
“After finishing my sophomore album Movement, I felt the pull to write something more direct, a body of work I could take straight to the festival stage. I was curious about the energy I was hearing on dancefloors at the time, but I never wanted to lose the slower groove that has always been part of my sound. Because of that balance, Nova became the fastest body of work I’ve made, while still feeling grounded in where I come from musically.” - Harry Charles
An album written for the dancefloor, the sunset, and the moment when everything falls into place, Nova was written to be experienced live.
“At its core, all I want my music to do is make people feel good and make them want to dance. In the past, I leaned heavily into long, cinematic soundscapes with extended intros and breakdowns. For this album, I shifted focus and wrote tracks that get to the point more quickly and that could work naturally in DJ sets, without losing warmth or emotion.” - Harry Charles
Nova builds on the foundation laid by 2025’s Movement, trading expansive ambient passages for tighter arrangements and driving grooves. Where his earlier work often unfolded patiently, this album moves with purpose, shaped by dancefloor energy. It's electronic music designed not just to be heard, but to be experienced collectively.
