Rising rapidly with her songs, colorful personality and her strong communication with her listeners in a short period of time, she released “Dinozorlar” and “Boşver!” singles with a month in between. With her song “Varım” released in September 2018, she gained a large popularity and she also became a must-have for all festivals. She managed to meet with her audiences all around Turkey with her concerts in a variety of cities and organizations. She released another single, “Beni Biraz” in November 2018, which presented us with her melancholic side, and immediately, she released acoustic versions of “Varım” and “Dinozorlar”, which were loved all around.
Touring around Turkey with festivals, Nova released “Zor” and “Kuzeye Kaç!” and later, she released “Kim Üzdü Seni”, which is a song that is significantly different with its sound and musical identity and in which she talks about loving unconditionally.
