by altsounds [More from this Author]  "808s AND MIXTAPES" FEATURING ADELE, COLDPLAY 'LOST' REMIX, AND KANYE WEST 'AMAZING' REMIX Unique multi-talent releases digital EP "I Am…(Future Black President)" on Rowdy/Capitol, features 5 songs from forthcoming debut The Audiobiography due out on March 24th, 2009. Urban music’s most anticipated and intriguing new artist, Novel introduces his unique rapped/sung poetics to the world. The titular buzz single featuring Ben Folds, Talib Kweli, and Spree Wilson is rife with Novel’s heartfelt lyrics: “I’m the sun, I’m light/I’m much more than the bling or the shine off your ice/ I’m as free as a spirit, I’m as fly as a bird/ I’m whatever I wanna be as long as I am heard”. The track samples Ben Folds "The Luckiest" but also features him singing and playing piano on the recording. "I Am" Feat. Ben Folds Video & Free Download While Novel may be new to listeners, his words and work aren’t. He’s long been penning and producing for other artists, including Alicia Keys, Kelis, India.Arie,Joss Stone. The I Am… EP, however, is the world’s first taste of his own voice. Amazingly, Novel’s efforts don’t stop with words on a page: Novel writes, produces, arranges. The aforementioned Audiobiography is entirely his, save a few collaborations with Dallas Austin, producer No I.D., and Krucial Keys. And speaking of the Keys team, Novel is fresh off a domestic tour with Alicia Keys. He’s now performing at college campuses nationwide, in preparation for his New York showcase come January of 2009.
Check out what Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, and many others have to say about Novel. He is also Katy Perry approved (for all you kissed a girl, now you're hot then you're cold fans out there).
