Known for her high-energy sound and theatrical vocal delivery, Nova’s latest project captures the spirit of vintage synth-pop while injecting it with modern finesse...
The album features brand-new compositions alongside revitalised versions of her classic singles, plus striking covers of The Winner Takes It All and Wuthering Heights, each transformed through her unmistakable electronic lens.
Produced and arranged by Kingbones, Tour De Force embraces European dance music influences while retaining a distinctly British identity. The album delivers a thrilling mix of moods—from the ethereal romance of Lifeline to the intense, dystopian energy of Copy—showcasing Nova’s gift for blending storytelling with intricate, synth-driven soundscapes. Standout moments include The Force Megamix, a pulsating club-ready fusion of her defining sounds, and You Come And You Go, a deeply emotive track that highlights her evocative songwriting.
Nancy Nova’s career has always thrived on reinvention. From her early days as a songwriter for Jesse Green—penning the 1976 hit Flip—to her time with Toto Coelo and her acclaimed solo success with EMI, Nova has continually pushed the boundaries of electronic music. A mainstay of underground disco culture, her impact has been reignited in recent years, with artists like Siouxsie Sioux acknowledging her influence. Now, with Tour De Force, she proves that her vision remains as vibrant and compelling as ever. For fans of classic synth-pop, high-energy techno, and electrifying vocal performances, this album is an essential listen.
