Dwele interview exclusive..Sneak Peak!
RnB/Hip Hop | Tuesday 3rd August 2010 | Osh
Ahhh Dwele, Dwele, Dwele.....He brings style, swagger and still stays soulful, and after talking to him today, we can confirm that he is a true gentleman! With his deep voice and puppy-dog eyes, our interviewer almost failed to keep her composure, as his words undressed her........anyway......back to the interview...heres a sneak peak!
Yaz: What kind of an impact do you feel you have had, or wish to have as a soul artist?
Dwele: I know what music does for me, music creates memories..and hopefully that’s the impact that I have with my music. That’s really what I try to do, I try to be the soundtrack to people’s lives, ya know, whatever it is they’re going through at the time. And hopefully 10-20 years from now when they hear a song, it takes them back to a better time, or whatever they were going through at that time; that’s really what I try to do with my music.

Yaz: So your new album, Wants World Women, has three separate sections for different songs, what is the meaning behind that?
Dwele: I actually came up with the concept to do it that way, I was working on the song ‘I wish’, and the first lines that came to me were: I wish I had a dollar, for every dollar you think I have. I wish I had the Gucci shoes to match that Gucci bag. And I felt like, that’s a part of me that a lot of people don’t really get to see. You know the guy that kinda likes to wear Gucci shoes, or you know sometimes I like to wear diamonds and things like that but I don’t really get a chance to talk about that in my music. This albums about all of those political songs that I had, and never really had the chance to put out, coz its kinda hard to put a political song right in the middle of baby making music. So I never really did it, but I had a bunch of political songs, so that’s really the concept’s aim, of splitting the album up into three sections. The first section, is like my alter-ego, im outside of myself or I talk about myself in a way that I never really have done before. Then you have the world section, that’s more of an audio time capsule of the things that are going on in our economy. Then you got the women section, and that’s the baby making music, the feel good music.
