Eight years between albums is an eternity in contemporary music, but Novel-T has not been twiddling her thumbs since the release of her debut, Born to Love You, in 2016. Her follow-up album is scheduled for release this summer.
The South Florida-based singer said there will be a number of familiar songs on the yet-titled set on which she worked with several producers.
One of those chart-toppers is I Love The Way, which headed the South Florida Reggae Chart for two weeks this month. Another is a reggae cover of the Grammy-winning ballad, Don’t Know Much, on which she duets with Hopeton Lindo who also produced it.
Novel-T hails from the August Town community in St Andrew. She knew I Love The Way (another Lindo production) was special during production.
“I knew the song was not typical, and it felt kind of different on the rhythm than one may expect, but I always try to hold positive expectations that each song will connect with listeners in a special way. Otherwise, why release it If you don’t believe it can make an impact?”
