Novulent Drops New Song “boys lie and girls steal”—Final Single Ahead of New Album ‘VOL.3’
New-generation shoegaze artist Novulent has released a new single, “boys lie and girls steal.”
Novulent has emerged as one of the central figures within the TikTok scene that has driven a renewed interest in shoegaze. The 2023 track “scars” gained significant traction on the platform, contributing to a rapid rise in visibility; as of November 2025, Novulent has amassed over 2.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify. In contrast to the ethereal atmosphere often associated with artists like Wisp, Novulent’s sound leans toward a more decayed and abrasive palette, incorporating elements of emo rap, grunge, and nu-metal. The artist has described themself as “a fallen angel in the emotional odyssey,” a phrase that aligns closely with the project’s introspective and emotionally charged sonic identity.
As the final preview single from the forthcoming album “VOL.3,” the track marks a clear departure from Novulent’s early DIY sensibilities, instead emphasizing a more forceful sound that reflects the project’s evolution into a fully realized live band. While the album’s release date remains undisclosed, listeners may want to keep an eye on social media in anticipation of a potential surprise announcement.
Following the ascent of the “angelic” presence associated with Wisp, Novulent—cast as a fallen angel—appears poised to claim a defining position within the contemporary shoegaze landscape.
