SR: Golden State was the last track on VOID, is that a link between the two albums in any way? I think Void was very centred in darkness and sort of had an underwater feel to it to me whereas NOVA feels like it still has elements of the old music, but it’s much brighter and it feels like something that would soar in the sky. So a lot of the inspiration came from that. And so that idea of NOVA is like a tiny star bursting into 100 times its size in space was just sort of this beautiful, majestic, visual that I kind of wanted to put music to. I’m a very visual person when I’m writing music, so I like to have a visual or a moment that I can see in my head and then sort of write music along with that. RL: The definition on NOVA is that it’s a small star that very quickly bursts into just pure light and it’s all you can see. And yeah I feel like I’ve grown up a lot even as a musician – being able to go in a room and make a song with someone is something that was totally foreign to me a few years ago. I was much more open to collaborating with people and working on actual songs rather than, you know, me in my room alone working on just a bunch of instrumental stuff which is what VOID sort of was. I was collaborating with song writers and people that play guitar and other producers and stuff. RL: I think VOID was pretty cohesive as well, but I feel like I was more involved in a lot of the stuff on this new album. SR: You say you have grown up with this album – listening to it it feels a lot more cohesive a project that VOID, do you think this has helped in you with the songwriting process? There’s also a lot of features on it and people have their own release schedules and there are things behind the scenes that go on that can delay the process and all of that accumulated into it taking a bit longer than I had originally thought but yeah, it’s all cleared up now and done and ready to go. I was growing up as well and I sort of grew up alongside this album so it took a while for me to get it out. RL: I think I definitely jumped the gun obviously on the first announcement… I don’t even know when I first said something about the album but I have had a lot of demos that I was excited about and thought it would be just a quick process. What were some of the reasons for the delays? There’s been a lot of well-documented delays – you released Stay For It last year and everyone thought it was coming and it has really been back and forth since even before then.

Now that the release date it out and the artwork is out and we’re almost about to release it I’m feeling very relieved and happy and just excited to get it out in the world. RL Grime: I’m feeling amazing, it was a very long period of time where I didn’t really announce anything, and no one really knew what was going on and I was sitting on a lot of music and that feeling sucked. Stoney Roads: How are you feeling ahead of the release of your second album, NOVA? While there is plenty in it for the old heads, NOVA also offers plenty for neutral fans, with a number of the tracks showcasing his depth of production and skill.Īhead of today’s release, Stoney Roads were lucky enough to chat to RL Grime over the phone, to talk all about NOVA, his career and his love of touring Australia. The record picks up from where he left off, delivering a combination of Steinway’s signature trap sound, coupled with thumping 808s. And while he has released a sleuth of tunes since the debut, Steinway has experienced a number of well documented delays on the release of his sophomore record, NOVA.įour years in the making, NOVA showcases a significant development in RL Grime’s production style. This success was largely due to the success of his 2014 debut album VOID, which featured singles such as Core, Scylla and Kingpin.

Having built a reputation as one of the heaviest DJs in the trap scene, the producer, real name Henry Steinway, has been able to carve out his own signature sound, in doing so, catapulting him to headliner status around the globe. RL Grime could be the hottest producer in the world right now.
