Novel has a video for the song aptly titled F#%k With My Mind. I really like this song... It has a simple melody and matching beat. Novel's voice trips over this melody with controlled awkwardness. The whole song reminds me of early D'Angelo. And I like that... It's something that I haven't heard in a while. It's refreshing to hear a melody and voice like this in the age of pop infused RnB. Hopefully Novel gets more airplay than just his mixtape grind.
Oh yeah... And the video... Nothing spectacular... But I don't think that Novel is going out of his way to make a game changing video. He's putting himself out there... And the director Ric Cordero has done a really good job of this. I especially like the old skool Wurlitzer keyboard playing a central role in the clip. It gives the video a feel of authenticity that Novel deserves. He doesn't come across as one of the over produced and under talented stars of today.
