Novel “mood indigo” [mixtape] (w/ Joe Budden, Crooked I, Lecrae + more)
Now seven plus years and nine projects into his solo career, Novel has released his latest body of work, mood indigo. Previously-featured, Booth-approved selections “Die a Little” and “Letter to the Badge” both appear on the free 12-track mixtape, which is a combination of original work and inspired covers. Well-known guests like Joe Budden, Crooked I, Leon Thomas and Lecrae pull in the casual fan, but under-the-radar contributions from Andy Mineo, Ashley Stevenson and newcomer Sterling will leave listeners talking. While Novel handles production duties on the project’s four original records, musicians Alex Naylor (guitar), Bill Kahler (sax) and T. Reyes (guitar) add an extra layer of craftsmanship that makes Mood Indigo a complete effort.
