Dwele, get a ghostwriter or something.......2006-08-07

Okay, I know that most of the reviewers that listened to either of Dwele's albums rated them four or five stars. But I'm sorry; I just can't do the same. It's not that I can't get into his soulful Musiq -- I mean music, but I just don't think Some Kinda is as stellar an album as it could have been.

Now, I do like this album better than I liked Subject, and Dwele does still have a good voice, but I'm just not moved for the most part. For starters, he never seems to sing on beat, which makes a lot of the songs hard to follow, even with the lyrics right in front of me. And speaking of lyrics, that's the biggest downfall, as evidenced by "Flapjacks"; and the chorus to "Keep On" (the necessary song featuring Slum Village) is very uninspired. "Holla" also has a dry chorus.

If the title "I Think I Love U" isn't cheesy enough, what's worse is during the second verse when he says: "You're so beautiful, more than a man could ever want/Got me lookin' for Ashton to see if I'm bein' punk'd". And "A Pimp's Dream" never should have happened. In fact, the only songs that really stand out COMPLETELY are "Lay It Down", "Old Lovas" and possibly the title track. But even better than the latter is the spoken word prelude (but ALL the preludes aren't spectacular -- "Caught Up", anyone?).

Dwele is obviously talented, but if he wants to stop being so overlooked, then he needs to find himself some kinda better songwriting team.

No Sophmore Jinx Here.......2006-07-19

Dwele hit another homerun with this CD. The foundation of Dwele is still there, but he just funked it up a little. He is so refreshing. 5+++. Highly recommend.

The words were taken from my memories of an old lova.......2006-04-18

Dwele, Dwele, Dwele. He is definitely an underrated artist. His music took my mind on a relaxing journey. Don't get me started on "Weekend Love." The words were taken from my memories of an old lova. This is a must have. I came across Dwele by accident while looking for something different. Best mistake ever. After listen to Some Kinda, I went and brought Subject.

I have Dwele(itis) beleve me!!!.......2006-04-07

All I can say is music in my world was missing something until I found Dwele. I absolutely love his music, love his songwriting skills, and he definitely is on his own path musically and that's what makes him who he is. That is what makes him great IMO. Another person who wrote a review wanted to know what can you call his music: You can call it SOUL because that's exactly what it is. His music is who he is and it definitely comes from his soul. I can listen to his music from track to track and that is something I can say is definitely rare today. I hope that Mr Dwele G doesnt change because what he has is something special, unique, and truly is a gift.
If you don't know who Dwele is take the time to find out because he is definitely worth it!!!

Weekend Love in Waiting.......2006-03-22

I am in love with Dwele! I kind of procrastinated a little and waited a while before I purchased Some Kinda. But after hearing Weekend Love on VH1 Soul, I was hooked! This album is great from start to finish. I love the relationship that he shares with his family and he really expressed it on the album. My favorite track is Some Kinda. His voice is amazing and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. Pure genius!
