Sketches Of A Man [Explicit]

Dwele always delivers. I have all of his CDs and have never been disappointed. One song segways into the next. Always outstanding music beats and lyrics that are easy to relate to. This young cat is in a category of his own.

Let me first say that I have loved Dwele since his first album. The love affair followed into the sophomore album....and has now come to a screeching halt for his junior release. From his vocal displays, to his writing, to the production, to the instruments, to the themes and concepts, I see no growth. This is like the melting pot of his first two albums which were blended, brought to a boil, drained, and laid out to dry- dry being the operative word in this analogy. Nothing about the first few tracks encouraged me to continue listening to this album. If this were his first album, I would have received it better, but the first album was so much fresher and livelier. I really want to give this album another shot, but I can't seem to remember where the album may be. While I look for the album I will try to encourage myself to listen with a less critical ear.

I have been a fan for quite some time now and I love all his studio releases' but this has to be the hottest of them all. The whole thing is consistant and flows from track to track in true Dwele style. I had to listen a couple of times to get the full appreciation for this body of work,but now I am convinced that Dwele is one of the modern masters.

This CD is nice and mellow. It reminds you of old school R&B. I really love neo-soul music.

First I was totally caught off guard when I saw the album on the shelf at Target, I never buy music from the stores since Itunes came around but I HAD to have this CD immediately. I could go on about how great this CD is but that would be pointless- so I'll just say that this CD makes me feel like a kid with 20 presents before her, the whole album is phenomenal, something I will be grooving to for ages. Personal favorites include:
