Dwele's Greater Than One: A Neo-Soul Masterpiece
Dwele is one of the most talented and underrated singers in the neo-soul genre. His fifth album, Greater Than One, released in 2012, showcases his versatility as a vocalist, songwriter, producer, and musician. The album features 13 tracks that blend R&B, jazz, funk, and hip-hop influences, creating a smooth and soulful sound that appeals to both old-school and new-school fans.
The album opens with a brief intro, Greater Than One Less Than Three, which sets the tone for the rest of the project. Dwele then delivers some of his best songs to date, such as Going Leaving, a catchy mid-tempo groove about a troubled relationship; Takes22Tango, a funky duet with his background singers; What You Gotta Do, a collaboration with fellow neo-soul star Raheem DeVaughn; and What Profit, the lead single and a fan favorite.
One of the highlights of the album is This Love, a retro-inspired track that pays homage to the '80s R&B sound. Dwele sings over a synth-heavy beat that recalls the likes of Prince and Michael Jackson. Another standout is Must Be, a hip-hop infused track that features Detroit rapper Black Milk and singers J Tait and L'Renee. The song showcases Dwele's rap skills and his ability to switch between different genres.
The album also features some more experimental tracks, such as Swank and Patrick Ronald, which feature Monica Blaire, another Detroit singer with a unique style. These songs are more upbeat and playful than the rest of the album, adding some diversity to the overall sound. The album closes with Frankly My Dear (I'm Bennett I Ain't Innit), a humorous skit that pokes fun at Dwele's stage name.
Greater Than One is a testament to Dwele's artistry and creativity. It is an album that deserves more recognition and appreciation from both critics and listeners. It is a rare example of an artist who stays true to his roots while also evolving and expanding his musical horizons. It is a neo-soul masterpiece that should not be missed.
The album received positive reviews from critics and fans alike, who praised Dwele's vocals, production, and songwriting. The album debuted at number nine on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 30 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it his highest-charting album to date. The album also earned Dwele a nomination for Best R&B Album at the 2013 Soul Train Music Awards.
The album title, Greater Than One, reflects Dwele's philosophy of life and music. He explained in an interview: \"I feel like I'm greater than one person. I feel like I'm a part of something bigger than myself. I feel like music is bigger than me. I feel like music is bigger than all of us. It's something that connects us all and transcends all boundaries.\" He also said that the title represents his growth as an artist and a person, as he learned to collaborate with others and embrace different styles and influences.
