Forgive the expression, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover.’ Nowhere is it more apropos, or less cliché, than in describing Novel: part singer, part songwriter, part producer, part rapper, all STAR. Stemming from a creatively fertile family tree—grandson to Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Solomon Burke, son to former Motown Records exec Mickey Stevenson, Novel has blossomed on his own, penning and producing for Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, and Beyoncé to name a few. Attached to Dallas Austin’s Rowdy imprint, Novel prepares his forthcoming debut album, The Audiobiography…a collection of stories woven by vivid insight and experience and bound by an extraordinary voice. It is by all accounts, Novel.
