Nick Hook and Novelist come together for a huge NY/UK collaboration in the form of “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” the first single from Nick’s upcoming album “Relationships.”  Novelist recounts how the track came about in the song’s one sheet, “Nick Hook – this man gave me a new outlook on life when I met him in New York at 18 years old when I went out there alone. He reiterated to me that FREEDOM starts in the mind and to do what you want with 100% of your energy.” Watch “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” after the jump, and check out the song’s premiere via The Fader here.
