Possessing a cool, conversational tenor, an ability to
create lush, aquatic grooves and narrative lyrics that
flow with the cadence of a rapper's, Detroit's Andwele
Gardner has proven himself as a consistent hit maker since
selling self-mastered copies of Rize from the trunk of his
car back in 1998. Now, over a decade later, the 32-year-
old Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and multi-
instrumentalist plans to cement his reputation as a
legacy-building soul provider and storyteller with his
fourth major-label release, W.ants. W.orld. W.omen
(W.W.W), a collection of songs combining elements of both
R&B and hip-hop to express his personal and political
views as filtered through the turbulent economy and
political climate of today.
"The CD is separated into three sections, representing
different aspects of myself as an artist," says Dwele of
W.W.W., which is scheduled to drop June 29. "I'm doing a
lot of things I wouldn't normally do, such as pulling in
some outside guests. Prior to this album, I didn't want to
work with too many others because I wanted people to know
what Dwele sounds like, but now that this is my fourth
album, I feel that I can try that now." Among the list of
collaborators? Vocalist Monica Blair, rapper David Banner,
R&B peer Raheem DeVaughn and a reunion with Slum Village,
the homegrown hip-hop group that helped to propel him into
the national spotlight with their 2002 smash, "Tainted."
The first single, "What's Not To Love," is also a reunion
of sorts, pairing him up with a producer he'd worked with
for Some Kinda..., Mike City. "We just revisited the
situation from before ("I Think I Love U") and let it flow
from there," says Dwele of its adoring verses and nebulous
feel. "I like to think that I can speak for a person for
when they can't find the words, like a Hallmark audio
card. I hope the song can be that for someone."
W.W.W. has a decidedly crisp, contemporary feel in
comparison to his previous efforts, according to Dwele,
while retaining his trademark organic approach and
acknowledged influences of music's most celebrated soul
men. "Sketches of a Man was a more hip-hop-influenced
album, Subject was really soul-influenced and Some Kinda
was jazzier. With W.ants, W.orld., W.omen., I wanted to do
as Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway did. When you hear their
music now, you feel exactly what the climate was at the
time, and that's the job of musicians, to talk about the
world's situation."
Not that he intends to do so from a soap box: "The
Hangover," for example, sounds like a club-ready call to
the dance floor, but is actually social commentary in
disguise. "It's really talking about what we went through
when (former President) Bush was in the lead. People may
not get that until they've heard the song a couple of
times, but that song encompasses what the W.orld section
is all about, the hardships as far as the changing of the
presidents and the rough economy we've endured."
Another revealing song, "I Wish," can be found in the
W.ants segment. Instead of being a cover of the Stevie
Wonder classic, the song is about "flossing and flashing"
and expresses all of the material desires the performer
has in stark contrast to how he's really living: "I wish I
had a dollar for every dollar you think I have, I wish I
had a Gucci suit inside that Gucci bag." The inspiration?
"In one week, I got asked for a total of $23,000," he
laughs. "I don't even ask myself for $20,000."
