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.

The shoegaze artist reaches on Billboard's charts with his breakout song "Scars." Released in June 2023 via The Royals, the track debuts at No. 45 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs with 1.5 million streams (up 11%). TikTok has been a contributing factor in the song's growing exposure, as a portion of its audio has soundtracked more than 90,000 clips on the platform to date, including one by Megan Thee Stallion on March 11. "Scars" appears on Novulent's third LP Vol. 1, released in October. He has released three additional albums: My Story (2022), My Story 2 (2023) and DEARY DIARY (this January). He has a new set, Secret Letters, due this Friday (March 29).
