Novel - Wonderful
Artist: Novel
Featuring: Chrisette Michele
Producer: Novel & Tony Reyes
Album: Unreleased
Label: Unsigned
If there’s one thing even more transcendent and ineffable than romantic love, it’s the love of a parent towards his or her child – at least, that’s what I’ve been told; at this point, I’m in absolutely no hurry to find out firsthand. In any case, it’s great material for a soul record, as Novel proves on his latest feature. This unreleased cut finds the ATL-based Renaissance musician addressing his daughter (unborn at the time of this track’s recording), calling her, “...my little piece of Wonderful.” Fellow reader favorite Chrisette Michele steps in to pay tribute to her own child in a guest verse, as well as accompanying Novel on the hook and contributing silken background vocals throughout. Featuring the vocal stylings of two of the Booth’s hands-down favorite R&B artists a lush, vintage-soul instrumental co-produced by the headliner and Tony Reyes, this heartfelt cut is one that anyone can appreciate – even if you’re not a mother or father, its appeal should be quite apparent (I think I may have just made the dumbest pun in DJBooth.net history).

Exactly what I'd expect, Z. So glad that the booth found this dude early in his career. Soulful music from the inside, loved how he got CM on the collabo.

He is well on his way to that Grammy Night, am I right? BDF44
I don't even have to listen to this to say how good it is. *Completely biased Rating* |

Richard..tsk tsk. hah. As for Novel, I've never needed to say anything negative about his work, primarily because it speaks for itself (and obviously always wonderful to hear). Another great track from an R&B savant.

I like this track. Unreleased tracks are usually always good songs. But this is Novel we're talking about here so I knew this had to be a nice joint.

Any time i see a track with Novel's name on it, I know he will not disappoint, and to top things he's got chrisette michele on here with the smoothest vocals i've heard in a while.

I'm a sucker for soul...Novel sings from his soul and Chrisette is the perfect compliment to his voice. This song is so serene so lovable and yes wonderful.

This is my first time hearing this but I always did love Novel's soulful sound. Then Chrisette Michelle is a great addition to this track.
