Nova was signed to Def Jam, a while back. They were grooming her to be a ‘Brittany Spears/Beastie Boys’ hybrid. This is not who Nova is but it was the Nova they wanted. When they dropped her from the label, they stabbed her in the back (she found out when the apartment manager told her the label wasn’t paying her rent). She swore she would never touch a keyboard again - That is the significance of the piano in the video, she is ready to play it again but as the “New and True” Nova. If you replace “HEY YOU” with “Yo, Def Jam 🖕🏼”, you get a sense of what Message Nova is trying to convey to them. #hangovergang forever 🤘🏻🤘🏿🤘🏼🤘🏽
Love your reactions. ❤ Nova is rapping on a rock beat (that Tom produced) and the song has a pop hook, so she doesn't box herself into a single style musically. The music label she was signed to tried to mold her into something she wasn't and made her not want to make music at all for years. It's a rare treat for us #HOG when we get a song from Nova, although Tom always features her on each of his albums. Rumor is she may be dropping a new album soon. 🤘😎🔥#NovaRockafeller
Lady is talented. One of my all time fav from Nova. I’ve always thought this would make a great theme song for a badass action movie. Thanks! #NovaRockafeller
@@vanessamind They had intentions to do more music as GFBF in the future, but it has been on hold. I also had planned to try more of their songs one by one but never got to them which is why I just mention these 2.
The "interesting" scene you referred to was her singing about how it nearly drove her nuts when having to keep a smile on her face while dealing with people from Def Jam who were trying to change who she was as an artist. The other voices were her 'handlers' from Def Jam calling her on the phone.
This wasn't directed at herself. It was going at her former label. Def Jam records. They tried to change her, mold her into their idea of who she should be musically.
Another great reaction young lady loved it ❤ oh and Hi Mom 👋. I have a number of songs id love to see your reaction to but i dont know what genre your into so i wont 😂 however there is a song by Tom,Nova,ACal and Struggle Jennings (who is Waylon Jennings grandson) called In God We Trust. God Bless and be safe looking forward to your next one as always 🙏
I love allllll kinds of music, I will listen to about almost anything! So suggest away! Only thing I'm worried about is being copyright claimed but I suppose there's no harm in trying! I appreciate your comment James as always. God bless you!
When Nova signed to Mercury records subsidiary Island records they took her to become an understudy of the Beastie Boys. Then the record label went bankrupt. The sold their assets, including the contracts for Island to Def Jam. Def Jam had their own plans, they wanted her to become a Britney Spears carbon copy pop star. However Nova is a rapper, so there was already issues there. So the label moved her from NY, and put her up in an apartment in Crenshaw. Then they wanted her to get a radio hit. So she was ina and out of the booth logging in excessive hours. They wouldn't like lyrics here, song titles there, and then they brought in the ghostwriters. Eventually it came time to shoot the music videos and they asked her what she was wearing and she answered with the clothes she was wearing. Inject wardrobe, lighting, extras, makeup, etc .. this put Nova 60k in debt. She thought this was odd because her side hustle was assisting a guy shoot commercials, and it was a 2 person crew. Finally they got a track that was good enough to be the main track of a soundtrack for the tween move 'the duff'. Then she was evicted, the label quit paying her rent. She was going to the studio that day so she would ask what happened. There everyone was cold to her. So then she made a call to the record execs, yet they didn't answer. Nova finally had enough. She mailed a box of live crickets to the record execs. Next she started mailing inflatable lizards to the label, on a daily basis. Then she would go preform at her gigs and talk trash about the label, regardless if they were at her shows or not. Finally they pulled her in to tell her she had been fired awhile back, but nobody had told her. 'Wishing Well' and 'Hey You' are Nova's 2 middle fingers to Def Jam.
Check out an artist named NF. There is a Journey to follow when listening to this artist. Check out one of his newer songs called Hope. Then go back the start with Intro. Trust me. He is crazy good. Nova is so good. We need more music from Nova.
I actually listen to NF myself and even went to his concert here in Seattle!!! I agree he's an amazing artist, just not sure if I'd get copyright claimed if I reacted to it hahaha! Thanks for your suggestion though! And I agree, Nova is so awesome!!!
@@vanessamind I don't know that you would. Like, Tom, Adam, Dax, Upchurch & Sam Tompkins, I've actually seen NF comment on reactions before. My favorite that I've heard is "Happy" from NF.
"Plant money trees...." hopefully a word that many of todays young women will take to heart while they can and before Father Time catches up. A little bit less partying and more time focused on building a successful life for your future self and family. Next to our own health family is the most important thing in life.
That chorus had an amazing Pink Floyd feel to it! 🫠
Yes!

There is a new song/video from Nova coming any day. She said a week ago that it's already uploaded to YT, just waiting for the right time to release.
Lady is talented. One of my all time fav from Nova. I’ve always thought this would make a great theme song for a badass action movie. Thanks! #NovaRockafeller
