Nostalgia (Rod Wave album)

Upon the album's release, Green appeared in an interview with Nick and Eddie from Apple Music 1's Rap Life Radio.{{cite web|last=Grant|first=Shawn|url=https://thesource.com/2023/09/21/rod-wave-nostalgia-therapy/|title=Rod Wave Says His Album 'Nostalgia' is a Form of Therapy: 'I Went Through a Lot of Real Life Stuff'|website=The Source|date=September 21, 2023|access-date=September 21, 2024|archive-date=December 7, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231207042439/https://thesource.com/2023/09/21/rod-wave-nostalgia-therapy/|language=en-US|url-status=live}} During the interview, Green revealed how on the album, he was able to express himself to his fullest: "I feel like on this album, I was able to spread my emotions around. I have more time just to touch bases on different kind of points of views, on different subjects", describing music as "therapy" for him. When asked about the album's title, Green went in-depth and revealed the background behind the title:{{Blockquote

|text=Over the years, you know what I’m saying? I done let, I done let, I done let lot of it out, you know what I’m saying? And just, it was just therapy for me, you know what I’m saying? But this album, the reason why I even named it Nostalgia is, you know what I’m saying? Just ‘cause I always remember where I was at. Every interview I did, every person, every face I met, every song, every video I shot, I remember where I was at, how I was feeling, what I was doing, so, I just had to realize, this is nostalgic. Everything I put out in the world, in the universe, I'ma be able to look back at it, like, “Damn, I remember that time, I remember this,” you know what I’m saying? It’s all special to me. So, yeah, this album, man, I just feel different, you know what I’m saying?

During his interview with Gillie Da Kid and Wallo267 of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Green spoke about his song selection process, stating that he'd pick a certain amount of songs to "gain new fans" some tracks for his new fans, and some tracks for his core fanbase.{{cite web|last=Bras Nevares|first=Gabriel|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/712030-drake-rod-wave-million-dollaz-worth-game-hip-hop-news|title=Rod Wave Tells Gillie & Wallo That Drake Is Dream Collab, They Call His Team To Link|website=HotNewHipHop|date=September 11, 2023|access-date=September 21, 2024|archive-date=September 18, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240918202242/https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/712030-drake-rod-wave-million-dollaz-worth-game-hip-hop-news|language=en-US|url-status=live}}

Following the release of the album, Green's late uncle and manager, Dereck "Dee" Lane appeared in an interview with Billboard in which he spoke about pushing Green to promote the album more than his previous records:{{cite magazine|last1=Rys|first1=Dan|title=How Rod Wave's Minimalist Approach Led to a Career Best With Nostalgia|url=https://www.billboard.com/pro/rod-wave-nostalgia-manager-dereck-lane-executive-of-week/|magazine=Billboard|access-date=September 23, 2024|date=September 29, 2023|archive-date=October 7, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007081524/https://www.billboard.com/pro/rod-wave-nostalgia-manager-dereck-lane-executive-of-week/|language=en-US|url-status=live|url-access=subscription}}{{Blockquote

|text=The key to Rod’s success is his team. We’re grass rooted. Yes, Nostalgia is our standout album, but we didn’t change the approach that we take when it comes to the music. [...] You’re in the industry so I’m sure you know that Rod doesn’t do a lot of album promo. The whole team felt that this album was definitely a special one. With that being said, I pushed him to do as much promo as possible to make sure we got the word out while also continuing to maintain and stay true to himself.

Nostalgia received mediocre reviews from critics. Writing for AllMusic, TiVo Staff stated that his "emotional delivery, melodic flows, gospel underpinnings, and pop-friendly approach to trap" have a similar delivery to that of his previous studio album, Beautiful Mind (2022). He stated that "there's a unified feeling throughout the almost-hour-long project, and it reaches its highest points right around the middle of the journey". HipHopDX{{'}}s Isaac Fontes stated that "[Rod Wave's] soulful reflections over Trap beats laced with booming 808s accompanied by either a twinkling piano loop or a drawling guitar riff, is a contrast that works because of the depths of his lyrics." He noted that "authenticity and deeply introspective lyrics" play a major factor in why "his movement [is] so powerful".

On November 18, 2023, Boosie Badazz took to social media to state that he planned to file a lawsuit against Rod Wave over an uncleared sample on "Long Journey" from Boosie's track of the same title, featuring Webbie.{{Cite web|last=Fisher|first=Caroline|date=November 19, 2023|title=Boosie Badazz Planning Rod Wave Lawsuit Over Allegedly Copied Song|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/736524-boosie-badazz-rod-wave-lawsuit|access-date=September 14, 2024|website=HotNewHipHop|language=en-US|archive-date=November 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120070938/https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/736524-boosie-badazz-rod-wave-lawsuit|url-status=live }} Boosie claimed that Rod Wave stile his lyrics and that he just wants his "split" and his "cut".
