Speaking with BBC Radio 1âs Clara Amfo, John shared his adoration of the duo claiming that their energy âCould light up Sheffieldâ. He shared: âThese girls rock my world. Iâve had them on the [Apple Music Radio] show, Iâve played their music, too.

He continued: “These girls could light up Sheffield. They are just phenomenal, the way their videos look. It reminds me of Rick James a bit, Larry Graham of Central Station, Sly and the Family Stone, itâs got that kind of⊠Bootsy Collins [vibe]. Nova Twins, I love you to death and theyâre going to storm Glastonbury. If they come on stage and itâs a sunny day, they could steal the whole thing.â
