HUNTER NOVA – summers coming [Single + Video]

With her debut single, “summers coming,” singer HUNTER  NOVA, known to her fans as Hunti, steps into the spotlight. Coming from Warrington and now making her home in Brighton, this UK artist offers a chillwave-meets-lo-fi track that radiates languid, sun-drenched vibes. Produced fully by HUNTER herself and mixed by Lewis Amoroso, the song’s serene beat is built on boxy 808 handclaps, hi-hats, and a subby synth bass that rumbles beneath the surface.

Starting with those boxy 808 claps, the beat quickly waves in digitally tinged piano chords and some analog soaked horns that immediately establish a mellow, ambient atmosphere. Nova’s hushed, almost monotone vocals glide over the arrangement, reinforcing its artsy, serene aura. Woozy synth horn melodies phase in and out, giving the choruses a druggy-jazzy twist. The young singer’s voice, comforting yet intentionally guarded, creates a distinctive atmosphere that’s both soothing and slightly aloof.

Lyrically, “summers coming” captures the anticipation of carefree summer days with friends where lines like “No drama/ We just came to move/ Good karma, it’s radiating through” and “..time to go shake my hips” tap into the song’s easygoing, sun-soaked vibe.

Directed by NOVA and co-produced by Shona Jarred, the video for “summers coming” opens with a young woman left alone on a beach boardwalk. Seeking answers, she visits a tarot reader, portrayed by HUNTER NOVA, who unveils a future filled with joyful moments, close friends, and a seemingly unexpected kiss. This hopeful vision quietly lifts our heroine’s mood, mirroring the quietly carefree joy flowing in the spirit of this cut.

“summers coming” takes a fresh approach to celebrating the season; delivering a track that feels both autumnal and warm, like lying in the sun without a care in the world. I think it’s safe to say that we can expect even more cool-out brilliance from her upcoming Pass EP.
