Yes, there is over one hour of music made and mixed by mobile phone by the London-based urban gospel man. Don't worry, it's way better than you're imagining! Such technical restrictions tend to focus the creative mind, and Nova has come up with some simple yet effective tracks. Some of the sounds are a bit cheesy and repetitive, but the tunes are catchy. It would all be a bit GCSE-music-project, but is elevated to more meaningful status by Karl's powerful yet approachable voice that draws you in to pay attention. The worshipful "Glory" is a highlight. This light-hearted and fun collection works best when listening on your own phone rather than on a large and revealing hi-fi system: the energy of the set will keep you moving during the journey to work/school. And it might cause you to try and get creative with whatever mobile is in your hands!
