NEW MUSIC: DWELE - “I’M CHEATIN’”
Saturday, May 3, 2008

♫ Dwele - I’m Cheatin’ (Radio Edit)
Soul singer, songwriter and producer Dwele, will release his highly anticipated 3rd studio album Sketches of a Man on June 24th through KOCH Records. Sketches of a Man, a long time in the making, will be lead by the soulful single “I’m Cheatin’,” produced by G-1, the man behind Dwele’s breakthrough hit “Find a Way” (from Subject).
“I’m Cheatin’” is a mind bender which tells of a man who loves his girlfriend’s conservative side as well as her care-free side and dreams of cheating on one with the other as if they were two different people. “It’s based on a true story that I put a spin on. Unless you really pay attention, you might get the wrong idea,” Dwele admits.

OMG…I love Dwele!! This song is clever, I like it. Can’t wait for the album
“Weekend Love” and “Find A Way” is still my ish though.
Now Bilal needs to drop something new too, then I’ll be happy lol.

I need to stay informed. I had never heard of Dwele until Common’s “The People” and Kanye’s “Flashing Lights.” And even then I didn’t research up on him. Same with Bilal. I’m like it.
But this is what I mean when I say to seek out “educated music.” And when I say educated I don’t just mean high school diploma college degree, etc. That always helps though. But listen to artist who have something worth listening to, who want to actually teach u something, move you, inspire, make you FEEL. Artist that relate their life experiences to their craft. Thats the education I’m talking about. The Education of LIFE.
There is so so so much more to life than just bling, hoes, YAAAh trick YAAAH, Gettin Silly, rims, killing people. There is more to music than just that. Its more than just simple synthesized beats and non-singing talentless hacks.
Dont fall for ignorant music, because that is exactly what it is. Music from ignorant people. Especially when the artist has no credibility whatsoever.

Oh and Im really diggin the song. clever. I like how its about him taking advantage (i use that in a positive tone) the different sides of his girl for his own satisfaction . I can relate. And i like how smooth it flows with smooth lyrics and smooth groovin instruments. Somethin to relax to.

I am so glad that my man Dwele is back on the scene. It is time for some real music. His first two albums, Subject and Find A Way are definetly classics and if you don’t have them, you definetly do not know real music. OLD Lova’s thats still my joint. Can’t wait to get the new joint,,,,,,,,,,,,

This artist is a total asshole to be puttin a song that deals with “cheatin” . I liked his songs from the past but this single ain’t nothing. Brotha, taught sing about something else then “cheating” man.

This guy I use to work put him on some mix cds back in the day when “neo-soul” was the in thing. There are a lot of artist who do get over looked I mean the list can go on. I just found out Eric Roberson who has been out for a while but his music is most definitely the business. I wish I lived like Philly tho because it seems like a lot of people originate from there. I live in Dallas and I heard this band can’t remember their name but they sound pretty good.

@ 16 I agree wit you… Music 2day is jus hideous especially artists that have no talent watsoever n those who do don’t get credit 4 wat they do… Neway luv dwele , very refreshing, eva since I heard him in Common’s song “the people” which I bump on my i-Pod, I wanted to know more about him and this song jus blew me away. Hey Angel please keep us updated on Dwele. Luv him!!
And @ 21, I repsect your opinion but girl/boy you don’t know good music even when it hits you across the face!!! Peace!!!!

Eh how about we focus on artist that we love and respect instead of hating on artist that we don’t like or paying attention to them. Stop giving them exposure by commenting under the post containing them and also stop viewing their video on youtube. You keep them relevant that way even if you don’t buy their albums. You’d be one less person who “actually” doesn’t give a damn if you stop feeding into them. What the fuck is “real” music that is a very subjective term containing music since everyone’s taste is different. Anyways I love Dwele dude has that smooth voice that is so simple. He said he admired Micheal Franks and it shows through his singing. Micheal Franks was a very simple singer that sang over complex music lol. I loved Dwele when sang on DJ Jazzy Jeff’s “For Da Love of Da Game” also on J Dilla’s “Welcome to Detroit” album back 2001. He been doing thing for a while now. Wish him happiness and cheer.

Im feeling it. If you don’t have “Subject” and “Find a Way” wow your missing out. Cuz Dwele is one of the most underrated r&b artist. His voice is so sultry, i love playing his cd while cleaning the house, or just chilling with my boo lol. His music always has a good message and is just beautiful to say the least. I hope 2008 is the year of real R&B iono what Ne-Yo is talking about cuz im tired of his ass lol. That last cd was trash. So now we have Dwele, Maxwell and maybe hopefully D’Angelo making a comeback. Im super juiced.
