Music reviews of Subject
Music Review: Hot to death!!
Rating: 4 Stars
This record is surely going to be the banger for the end of the year, there is enough heat here to keep NY and Philly warm all winter. His vocals are amazing and the production is tight as hell, I heard that he may be doing a joint with Prince soon as well. I recommend this to anyone looking to find a way to some new soul-Side note if you like this cd and this kind of Funk, then you need to check out this new kid coming out of BOston?or LA? Anyways the press is saying that he's going to be the next one. I don't know about that but it looks like he's going to at least impress us for a while. You can download his stuff at www.mp3.com/Neftalie They say he may be getting ready to sign with Columbia and is working on a new album now, so it may not be free much longer! Here is his new review from the west coast performer.

Reviewer -Reed Kellman
Bicoastal musician Neftalie is the surrogate son of a time in music when artists played because they felt the need from deep within. They weren't in it merely to sell records; they were in it to jam. This is a parental lineage that includes James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, Santana, Miles Davis, and Hendrix; a diverse and decidedly uniquely American experience. Neftalie is ready to follow in their footsteps, pulling inspiration from each while maintaining his own original, up-to-date musical styling. The appropriately named Soul Music displays Neftalie's passion, both for the music as well as for life. Throughout the album, Neftalie delves into love, sex, and living life to the fullest. Still he isn't afraid to tackle other subjects with his insightful lyrics. On "Revolution" he protests societal inequities and on the last track "La Ménage" he incites the taboo of threesomes. Neftalie seamlessly blends vocals and instrumentation, whether rocking out a funky bass line or harmonizing with the piano. Perhaps this flawless congruity stems from the fact that Soul Music is almost entirely written, arranged and composed by Neftalie, only occasionally calling on others instrumental assistance. Soul Music is Neftalie's vision of a new era in sound that incorporates all aspects of American music. He belts out this vision on guitar-driven, revolution inducing "New Age" where he brassily sings "Run and tell your mama / the funk is back to start a new age." His boldness is justified, though. Soul Music never falls flat, instead bouncing the listener through a gambit of sounds and thoughts. From the funky rock of "New Age" the listener is dropped into a soulful love song, "The GhettoLoveSong aka Dedikate." From there Neftalie comes clean with the catchy funk-pop "It's On aka A Good Night;" "And I don't want this night to be over / and I just want this feeling to go on / and I've been waiting all night to get next to you / and don't you think you're leaving your clothes on / Baby, baby it's on, " flexes Neftalie in the percussion led chorus. Even hip-hop is not out of Neftalie's reaches as evidenced on "Rock With You," an otherwise straight rocker accented by the voice of rapper Reggie "C.E.O" Printemps. Soul Music is rounded out by tender lyrics and heart throbbing piano pieces, such as on "Play," allowing Neftalie an entry into the yearning ballad realm of Prince. There is even a background of synthesized rainfall to "Play," an almost unscrupulous reminder that Neftalie can make a "Purple Rain" of his own. Soul Music is at once funky, jazzy, bluesy, and soulful while maintaining a contemporary sound of rock, R&B, and hip-hop. Neftalie is bound to fill the illustrious shoes of his musical forefathers with something familiar yet entirely new. Until then a glimpse into this new age can be downloaded for free at mp3.com, further evidence that Neftalie is more about the soul of music than he is about the money. (A.W.E. Records)
Description of Subject
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.One-man show Dwele?s debut, Subject, 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. Subject?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. --Rickey Wright
