[@Novelists]

❤Thank you for checking it out man! We're happy you're open-minded about the change and hope you'll dig the next ones. Camille has been practicing for our upcoming tours and she is crushing it on the older songs, hopefully you can see it for yourself very soon !!

[@midoxbz]

keep going Novelists

[@ishaanbhattacharya9405]

The new vocalist is great!!

[@stevenlidster1431]

Now I just need you on a triple-header with BMTH and Bad Omens.

[@sanekn]

Mvrksfest let’s go! :)

[@jonathanzytkoskee9740]

Gonna see yall tonight in Seattle!

[@goub7566]

She sings on an old Novelist Track called "c'est la vie" ! Great review as always.

[@bogdanhxc]

Full circle moment

[@midoxbz]

also 512 pm i think

[@ValkyrieLightwing]

Holy shit you're right. I thought she did 5:12am but that's a different vocalist, but still that's actually so fucking sick omg.

[@veilexor4165]

Also on Alive by landmvrks

[@ryanrohloff8605]

Wait, I thought Bliss Sigh did the vocal part for C'est La Vie, 5:12 am and Alive by Landmvrks. Is she the same vocalist?

[@aavosooghi]

Camille’s straight face during the harsh vocal section goes SO HARD! 🔥😩 Love the change and this fresh direction for them!

[@giorgiobertoldo]

Man Novelists are getting a looooooooooot of shit for this but honestly its pretty good lmao

[@totalityismentality7472]

It ain’t gonna be the same. But if you’re a real one and accept changes. You’ll grow to the change

[@Novelists]

🙏@@totalityismentality7472

[@sanekn]

It will get gatekeeped but we need to open up a little and accept the change if it is really good. Will see them in November here, excited to check them out with Camille. Saw them with Matteo and it was incredible of course. But it is a new era!

[@delorne2776]

I imagine most of this bands fanbase listened to it for Matteo's lyricism. I know that's certainly why I listened to them. This is objectively a downgrade in that department, a big one. But a lot of people also just listen to music for the sound/rhythm and hey if that's your thing this kind of music is probably right up your alley.

[@Ecstas345]

Song was decent. I think Camille and the boys need to find their synergy and define the sound they want to go for. I'll miss Tobias (and I still miss Matteo a lot, his era of Novelists was the best) but I'm curious and eager to see how they'll shape their music with Camille.

[@ValkyrieLightwing]

I love it. Like I said on the video itself, I saw so much negativity on IG and YT at first that I was not hopeful, but after hearing it I actually love it. It's a very new spin on the same type/style of sound we've come to hear from them. I love her upbeat vocals in contrast to the dark, heavy-ass guitars as well. I'm so into seeing where this goes.

[@vagrantender]

Saw them live last night and they were a huge highlight.

[@northernxdarkness]

Tobias is one of my fav core vocalist, in Alazka/Burning Down Alaska and in Novelists. But their new vocalist is so good too! She has interesting voice, something more fun and colorful in her voice. Kinda reminds me of that Jinx(LoL) song from 10+ years ago. Plus the dance moves, i've been craving more choreos on Metalcore

[@AlissonBirck]

I reaaaaaally hope Novelists keeps on like this and they deliver a great next album! This song was fucking amazing!

[@gichanLive]

Best I can think of this song is that, I don't really care for it. Sure the vocalist has talent, and I think she'd fit in a band that's less heavy than Novelists. God, I miss Matteo and his soothing voice.

[@sanekn]

Fun fact Matteo wanted to be a guitarist at first xD he said it to me while selling me their t-shirt at a show long back ago in Marseille.

[@Ethan_Coble]

For me, Noir was the peak of the band. I'm glad I can still go back and listen to these tracks, but man I wish I was still getting more of that sound. It was so unique and Matteo had such an amazing voice that suited the style.

[@sanekn]

Noir was incredible man.

[@dklimp]

Mateo is still "making Old Novelists" in his new band Sal3m... If you don't know them, check them out.. Walk on Water is one of the most beautiful tracks I've heard in a long time! Cheers

[@bogdanhxc]

average morning voice bogdan

[@phatsnag]

can i have a million dollars?

[@bogdanhxc]

@@phatsnag lemme get back to you on that

[@mattwirtz2494]

Even with the lead changes I love the flavor and vibe of Novelists hasn't changed. Its evolved and grown, but still feels like them and big part is original lead guitar and drums for sure.

[@DizzyMan24]

The was quite good. Spiritbox is gonna have some competition.

[@loganwelty7094]

I enjoyed this track. Excited to see Camille and the boys find their groove with a new style.

[@KyletheCoach]

It’s interesting seeing people comment they don’t like the new song when it sounds like a natural progression from Deja Vu. I couldn’t be happier with this direction. Such a cool evolution.

[@Ecstas345]

It's because a lot of them are still stuck in the Matteo era. It's my favorite era of Novelists too(all 3 records with Matteo were great) but people need to understand that they want to try other things with their sound.

[@danialmeidaalmeida5414]

I was also very surprised to come across the new voice in the band Novelists, but it was a good surprise, I think it shows that they are in a new style segment, reaching a new audience, something that also happened with Bring Me The Horizon. I loved it. Tobias Rische on the band's vocals, but I also liked Camille Contreras on vocals. All success for the band Novelists on their new path and we continue to love the band here in Brazil

[@LexiPixeL_]

Bruh, I am so happy to see someone not only not trash the song, but enjoy it as much as I do. Not much more I can say that you haven't already, like you said, it's fun and fresh. Camille is a great addition to the band, and I feel she fits the sound quite well. I can't wait to see where this goes. 💙 I'm right there with you on wanting *fun* metalcore. It's in short supply. Great vid, Bogdan.

[@toasttoasted3492]

😮😮😮😮😮😮. Well lets see how the rest of album will go Looking forward to hesring more

[@metalbangerbible5443]

Really loved this track and whilst the vocal change really surprised me, I think it gives them flexibility moving forward. She clearly has range and the music has always been incredible. Great start!

[@emmadlc1468]

hey men, love your videos, saludos desde mexicooooo

[@Phantox1101]

Deja vu was awesome! I love that they keep the style of it with Camille Thanks for your vids bogdan

[@thekiminthenorth504]

I love it. Loved singles from their last album. But singles from c'est la vie were also remarkable

[@StrayGodHarvey]

It's a bit of a cold shock. I only discovered Novelists with Tobias so that's what I'm used to hearing. This isn't bad, but it hasn't captured me yet. Excited to see the future of the band

[@ProjectX182]

haha the way you put the glasses down when you expect the HEAVYHEAVYYY

[@MrWestNileVirus]

Well, that was a surprise. I've never even checked out Novelists beforehand. Very fun and refreshing.

[@drewtheclear]

I don't think anyone's been shocked by the sight of girls at the front for a while now, and even more so since SPIRITBOX, which is a pure banger, but the problem here is really the intensity in the voice and the power - it's too timid, too smooth, too soft. So maybe it's the vocal mix that does it, but when you go from Tobias to Camille on the choice of vocal lines, it's still far behind. After that, I'm curious to see what it's going to sound like, and I hope it's not an honorary stunt.

[@Hidian21]

This is fresh. I like it. Interested to hear more for surrrrrrrrre 🤘

[@SeventhCircle77]

It’s so boring imo. Feels like radio rock

[@andimatt7232]

feeling the same

[@TheFiXNormal]

Hopefully they won't change the mastering down the line again

[@ishaanbhattacharya9405]

I love this new vocalist

[@CellarStudioProductions]

The instrumental gave me a stank face soooo fast

[@fadencetv4422]

The chorus is FAR too cheesy for my liking, it feels like a high-school project

[@2silentband]

Hey We just dropped a new song with Novelists former vocalist Tobias Rische! Maybe it would be something for you channel to react to. Its called: CHANGES by 2SILENT feat. Tobias Rische Thank you✌🏻

[@JannesReu]

I love the new song and style they are going with!

[@cookieeaturface]

Don't listen as much since they moved away from the Souvenirs sound but genuinely glad to see Novelists still going, and excited to see what this vocalists brings. Man, that was a forgettable chorus though.

[@Ryl0o]

i think we all had the same reaction finding out the new vocalist is a frontwomen now

[@joevahkiin2329]

Fr. I had to double check if I played the right song.

[@algeajr]

Bogdan, Did you miss the new song Vildhjarta - den spanska känslan?

[@BarrelCollective]

Other new release reviews on Patreon?

[@darrengee936]

oh thank god she can scream. that breakdown DESTROYED ME

[@ZillerMarcos]

Because of shitty comments i almost skipped this song, thank God i didn't. What a banger, different but dope as shit, and heavy as fuck too

[@bogdanhxc]

Never base your opinion on someone else's, get your own taste :)

[@ZillerMarcos]

@@bogdanhxc absolutely

[@esaedvik]

Such a banger. Reminds me a bit of Lacuna Coil, which is nothing but a good thing.

[@jakejo7440]

I saw them opening for Imminence last year and I loved it. The instrumental still sounds great, but I think they should have started featuring her harsh vocals sooner. There're just parts that shouldn't be clean here

[@wallysnakes2690]

it definitely feels like theres something missing in the first half of the song

[@jakubskorupa5671]

I was aware that there is another band called just Novelists, I was talking to Tobaias about that after their gig, and when I saw a girl singing that song I thought that this is that band. Had no idea Novelists FR parted ways with Tobias, such a shame, but I hope for the best for New Novelists and Tobias. Also nice banger.

[@blazingscythe9463]

Hey, can you tell me what song you used for your intro please?

[@yuki1304]

I mean this is great and all but I really miss Mateo..novelists was the first band I ever seen live back in 2016 and it was crazy

[@rumandbass]

I wish the chorus was heavier. If this is the new direction I'm not super excited about it but always willing to give new stuff a listen. The break down was good, spiritbox vibes.

[@benziii09]

I Miss tobias, Because of him I know his previous bands like the band (ALAZKA) of course (NOVELIST)

[@xtrafe5953]

This interesting, now I wanna here new ver of trrorist.

[@Janmayer]

That's one of the best songs I've heard this year. This song has everything I love: Heavy rhythm guitars, pop vocals with insanely melodies and great solos. Love it.

[@ruleofnines9331]

I miss Matteo now more than ever

[@shawsnight]

There will be a reaction to Don Broco's new release???

[@Beejaroni]

Wasn't digging it until the solo and the last 3/4 of the song. Saved it IMO

[@mckeoncrawford9262]

I just can’t get into them without their last vocalist and now this new one. For shame. Pass.

[@gichanLive]

Shame. Mateo was a fantastic singer.

[@andreimarasigan]

It'll be interesting now how Camille will perform their old songs live. Are the band going to make some adjustments to their songs live (pitch shifts etc) or will Camille belt out the original male tones with a feminine take? Nonetheless what a great song for a rebrand!

[@toranofnostria507]

Wtf!?!?? Love it

[@RECKK123]

good

[@alfiemcevoy5125]

This is such a win from Novelists after a lineup change, im so excited to see where it goes. Top tier chorus

[@seanstreck3226]

This feels like the pivot of Sonic Syndicate around 2010. I like the female vocals in theory but it sounds like a nu metal flyleaf or something. The end was great though. Looking forward to giving the new sound a second chance.

[@vagrantender]

Better than Lost Cause in my opinion

[@ozgalarz3918]

Is like a song from League of Legends

[@knifeuu777]

I really just feel like Novelists struggle to find their identity, hope this works out.

[@davealfdergraue3266]

Not bad, but not overwhelming...

[@kevindelaire7526]

I just want Matteo back😔❤️

[@niklas603]

except for the chorus which I thinks feels a bit generic I fucking dig this!

[@RebelKicks-mn4kc]

I’ll probably get some hate for this, but oh well. Souvenirs and Noir are two of my top 20-30 favorite albums of all time. I musically grew up with those two albums. The intricacies of everything and the beautiful chord progressions is what made those two albums stick. All that is gone now. While this song is good, it’s just so damn lifeless. No emotion in it whatsoever. I’m all for bands changing their sound to bring in a new audience. Bands like Erra changed did that while still holding onto elements from their old music. The new girl is a great vocalist, and I enjoyed the guitar solo. But man I miss Matteo. I miss when they used to write songs from the heart. This wasn’t from the heart and we all know it. I do think they have a lot of potential with this new vocalist though.

[@bennachtigall4784]

I dont know man. I've listened to it a couple times but for novelists it's just not hitting the ears right for me.

[@jacobadampilmore1395]

This is fucking incredible 🔥🔥🔥

[@AllMfNight]

This sounds like something a highschool band in a Disney movie would play. To each their own though.

[@strickentron]

To be honest, I miss Matteo in the band, the albums he release with Novelists are still top for me. Still, I am looking forward to this new era.

[@Austinwevo]

That was the beginning of the end.

[@zaqydafa9610]

To be honest, I assumed a little breeeee at the end of breakdown lol but overall good song.

[@slothman300]

Really bad news this band blows now

[@HussaR357]

Ehh... not really for me. I'll stick with Souvenirs and Noir..

[@brihilist5236]

😬😬😬😬

[@theunexpectedua]

Oh boy, dunno what to say about this. I mean, their sound with Tobias was weird but good weird, didn't even know he left the band. This era though, I think they need to find their sound asap, in my honest opinion, this is not it. It sounds like an instrumental from the last album, but with a new vocalist.

[@monsieurbreakdown4814]

Still a huge step backwards compared to Matteo era and albums like Noir.

[@charlyt.8794]

No step backwards. Open your mind. You're stuck in the past.

[@uolegullook3847]

I just think she needs time to develop her sound and how it fits with the band. Her voice is a bit flat and I feel like it brings the sound back a bit. Personal opinion of course - I always cheer for this band, regardless of some of the decisions they have made with remastering songs, and constant front-man/woman changes. I wish them all the luck!

[@vagrantender]

Never liked Tobias in Novelists. He was much better in Alazka. This song is a fucking banger though. Especially since she used to do vocals for Novelists in the Matteo era

[@reeceanthony]

Lets just be honest with ourselves, it's gone downhill since Matteo lol

[@octaviogallo8513]

Mmm, how I say it without sounding bad, Matteo left, then Tobias and now they're bringing a woman, it's like they're already throwing anyone away. It seems that for each album they are going to add a new vocalist, it is necessary to form an identity as a band. Who is the frontman of the band? Many egos within the same band are not going to last much longer. Regarding the topic, meh, they are for much more.

[@padraigmurphy3540]

Tobias seemed to fit so well. Not sure these vocals do though. Kind of disappointing

[@charlesmartel6108]

The lead guitar is just carrying the band. That is a talent in 20 years. And they got downgraded with the singer, even thought she is amazing, Tobias was too good and connected with the band flow.

[@doom3crazy]

I’m gonna be completely honest. It sounds like great value spiritbox. Not impressed personally

[@ismelljello]

I would have taken them breaking up over this

[@fearlessgod6625]

Ugh the band was much better with Tobias, not a fan of the new novelists.

[@andrewcooper4827]

Can't dispute the talent in these vocals. Their new sound doesn't do it for me anymore. Good track but not my cup of tea.

[@darkduck189]

Biggest surprise? Lol this song was super mediocre for me except the solo

[@jonathanturgeon6828]

She’s good but bland IMO

[@ruleofnines9331]

There is no depth to this band any longer

[@billywilliams2438]

She sounds like an amateur

[@Jasper-Holland]

This is song was so boring and generic, not gonna lie. Hope their next song is better
