That flavor palette is baked into the sound of emerging shoegaze soloist Novulent, whose 2023 single "savior" is having a moment on TikTok (34k videos, and marked "Popular" by the app). Dark, sexy, and pained, with filmic Auto-Tune on the vocals, suffocating drums that sound synthetic, and crushing shoegaze guitars, "savior" is a paradigmatic 2023 shoegaze song — especially for the way it's being used on TikTok.
