Novel - Walkin' on Air
Artist: Novel
Featuring: Joell Ortiz , Colin Munroe
Producer: Novel
Album: Calligraphy
Label: Unsigned
Are you currently with that special girl or guy in your life who makes you feel like you’re walking on air? If you are, be careful, because air doesn’t offer much stability and you may fall to your death if you’re reckless. To prevent that, you need reinforcement; lucky for you, DJBooth Freestyle Alum Novel’s latest effort, Walkin’ on Air should help you keep your balance. From the flawless sensuality of Novel’s vocals to the trademark electro-falsetto provided by Colin Munroe to Novel’s Defying the Predictable partner Joell Ortiz’ effortless glide on the mic, Walkin’ on Air is bulletproof from every angle – you can’t bring it down. The award for most valuable player is pretty much a three-way tie, but none of them would be anything without Novel’s ethereal production, which captures what my dreams sound like, or at least my good ones. Novel is one of only a handful of singers who can do no wrong, so it’s only right that his upcoming album Calligraphy, which will include Walkin’, drops “soon”, as well as his long-awaited mixtape Legato Summer Blues, coming in September.

 Colin Munroe sound good on just about everthing he sings on. His guest voals are always on point. Novel just keeps putting out bangers.

Novel has always been one of the artists I like after hearing Mad World, and when he is with Joell Ortiz they make a dynamic duo that rivals Batman and Robin. Both have great lyrics and one brings the soul while the other brings hard hitting rhymes. This is one of my favorite Novel songs in a while, he has done a good job, but this song just tops them.

Artistry is at a premium these days - you really have to look far and wide (unless you visit the Booth regularly) to find it. Such isn't the case when it comes to brand new music from my friend, Novel. This is excellent.

Great song by Novel. He really needs to get signed because I really don't understand what's been holding him back. He has a smooth voice with nice production to go behind it.

The amount of songs novel has made keeps going up... But the number that i have heard on the radio stays at zero... I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Novel is really underrated. He's got deep lyrics and convinces me as singer as well...I can't really remember many artists that can do both as well as novel...Colin Munroe as guest singer is a wise decision.
The production is alright, I kinda miss something though. Anyway this is one of the best songs I heard here in a while - although it doesn't have the high quality of most of the songs from the Donni Darko mixtape! That's still the shit! |

With some music I tend to love it for a month and totally burn out and when it comes up on the playlist I tend to skip it, however Novel is one of those artist that no matte how many times I listen to one of his songs I just HAVE TO listen to the end, no matter how many times I have listened to it. This is what I consider to be a classic, the fact that I give it the same attention on day 839 then I did on day 1. This is one of those songs, such a nice cut and the mixtape of Novel and Joel is just one of those you are happy you came across. I just can't say much more this is classic Novel.
