Novel-T and her team have shared the remake of “Tough Like a Diamond,” a record that was first released as a single years ago but has since been updated by musicians Derrick Barnett, Howard Perry Ricketts, and Michael “Mikey Bassie” Henry.
Although “Tough Like a Diamond” is one of Novel-T‘s biggest songs to date, changes were made to the original rhythm-and-blues-sounding version, converting it to a full reggae record. It is now more upbeat and rhythmic, especially to reggae lovers. What’s more, the theme of never giving up or backing down seems more pronounced on the remix; as such, the song is still an anthem for women all over.
“Tough Like a Diamond” is featured on Novel-T‘s latest album, “Survivor,” which was shared last summer. In addition to “Tough Like a Diamond,” the project also has ten equally captivating tracks, which all showcase Novel-T‘s vocal prowess. “Survivor” is available on all Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, and all other streaming platforms.
