The Coronavirus left many in the entertainment industry shell-shocked in 2020, but for singer Novel-T, it was a banner year.
She had two number one hit songs in “Love Won’t Let us Wait” (with Peter G) and “Keep it Moving” which cemented her place as one of South Florida’s leading reggae artists.
“Love Won’t Let us Wait” is produced by Hopeton Lindo while “Keep it Moving” is produced by Howard Perry, Novel-T’s husband.
At time of writing, “Keep it Moving” ticked off its second week at number one on the South Florida Top 25 Chart.
Though the hit songs earned her the best 12 months of her career, Novel-T points out that success was not limited to the charts.
“Also a special year because I have been able to collaborate on projects with some heavy hitters in the industry. I have also formed many more alliances and connections across the music industry, resulting in so much more visibility, as far as my musical career,” she said.
Novel-T is from the August Town region of St. Andrew parish in Jamaica. A longtime South Florida resident, she has been recording for over 20 years. She set the pace for 2020 with “Tough Like A Diamond”, a song on the Kemet rhythm that did well in South Florida and the tri-state area.
She credits a disciplined method for her strong showing last year.
“I don’t think I had a different approach. My approach has always been the same; which is to give my best performance in every song and to ensure that every recording is representative of the quality and standards I hold myself to,’ said Novel-T.
