One-man show Dwele's debut, <I>Subject</I>, comes correct with neo-soul staples in place. That is to say, there are enough acoustic guitars, stacked harmony vocals, mid-tempo grooves, and sound effects of scratchy vinyl to power an old-school symposium. What the Detroit-bred associate of backpack-rappers Slum Village lacks in depth, he makes up for in sheer summer-ready listenability. Dwele's genre could be called neo-neo-soul; he seems to owe as much to the foundations laid down by D'Angelo as to obvious idol Stevie Wonder. While lacking the idiosyncrasies of those artists, Dwele manages to slide out of the speakers with enough skills to convince a casual listener to let the languid mood take over. <I>Subject</I>'s title track is its most fully imagined; the needle-on-record gambit that obscures its likable chorus could actually be heard as a conceptual gambit rather than a mere irritation. Elsewhere, Dwele piles on the quiet-storm stuff so masterfully that he sows confusion, while at least seemingly hoping to settle down with one conquest. Vision is hardly up to talent here, but for now, Dwele gets a pass on winning sonics alone. <I>--Rickey Wright</I>

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars wanted more..........2007-05-08

I found out about Dwele on here, never heard of him before. He has a nice soulful voice. I really liked the first couple of tracks on this album. The songs that follow, kinda sound the same. Also, there is that continuous "intro- of SUBJECT" (being the name of the album) carried throughout the tracks and it kind of interupts the flow of it. I prefer full bodied tracks. I can see why he may have incorporated this, but it doesn't really work for me. Although, I do like this album because of selected songs, so it is worth the $9.99 that it is.

3 out of 5 stars Nice debut.......2006-11-10

This album was a nice collection of songs. In this album Dwele shows a lot of potential as a singer and songwriter.

1 out of 5 stars Music For Somnambulists.......2006-11-03

If you are having trouble sleeping I have discovered a cure for you. It is called Dwele and his navel gazing album Subject.The man simply has no musical mojo at all. Not one decent melody. No good funk. Nothing. Every song is slow and sounds the same. 60 minutes and 34 seconds of grinding monotony. He keeps singing about relationships that didn't work out. Maybe thats because you are such a dull pup, my friend. The only song that comes alive a little and stands out from the others at all is track 9, "Money Don't Mean A Thing". But it is an exception and you will probably be asleep by then anyway. This is watered down, sleep inducing coffee house muzak at it's worst. His voice is decent but undistinguished and rarely rises above a wimpy murmur. Does anyone want to buy a Dwele cd? I've got one and it's going cheap.

5 out of 5 stars Nu Soul/R&B Artist ......Dwele.......2006-07-20

I first heard this young brother on the "Tainted" chorus for SV....from there I was hooked.With the sudden disappearance of D'Angelo, Bilal second CD getting leaked and Musiq/Maxwell on hiatus....Dwele bridged the gap real well. Although not strong vocally, lyrically he's on point....and his Spoken Word comes out on Track 12 "Without You". "Subject, A.N.G.E.L,Truth and Hold On, also brighten up the CD. But for true DWele fans/heads there is a Unreleased CD out called "Rize"...it was his Demo CD and has 16 tracks on it...Sandboxautomatic.com

2 out of 5 stars Sleepy Dwele..........2006-07-03

His voice sounds like Musiq Soulchild, I don't think it's a good thing...And it's hard to say his debut is a good one, cuz I didn't "find a way" to go into it...Unfortunately, I heard too many so so tracks...Maybe "Find a Way",the title track are in the right direction, "Money Don't Mean a Thing" is decent,and the only track I really like...
