The Heather Nova Archive

hello friends,

greetings from the trade winds in the caribbean where i am at the moment.

just went to buenos aires to shoot a video with ATB for the upcoming single, renegade which i wrote with andre.

something different.

always good to stretch my wings in another direction from time to time. a step outside of my own realm.
i enjoy the challenge and the change. i have written 3 songs with him: renegade, stars come out and made of glass all of which will be on his upcoming album, "trilogy".

it was all done long distance - he sent me some backing tracks over the internet, we skyped a bit, and i wrote and recorded over the top.
germany - bermuda. it's great to live in these times.

then he persuaded me to fly to buenos aires to make the video. i don't like long flights, but had never been there and was curious...

doing a lot of painting lately in between working on songs and looking after a very energetic 3 year old. there are periods in my life when i feel a strong calling and need to drop everything to follow it. writing the sorrowjoy was like that. i felt compelled to sit down and write that collection of poems within a period of 3 months. a very intense focused time. then of course there are long periods of unfocused time too!

i am currently looking into ways to distribute my records independently in the USA...... so stay tuned.

perhaps a couple of gigs here and there, but i am putting my energy into writing and recording some more music at the moment, so no major tours till later...

meanwhile, thank you for your letters and kind support.

i hope to bring you some more music soon.
