Last week, Leela James released her sophomore album, Let&#8217;s Do It Again on Shanachie Records. So for the first installment of The Soul Rewind, we&#8217;re taking it back with a 2005 article/interview from the short-lived Mugshot magazine that praised the talents of Ms. James long before I even heard of her.

I was reading about the madness going on with Michael Jackson and his auction. I wondered like we all have, what happened to him? So I thought I&#8217;d take a look at Michael Jackson, before he changed his appearance. The change seemed to occur sometime after the picture above. He still had his natural hair [...]]]></description>

Interview by Steve Burks
This holiday season, R&#038;B vocal powerhouse Syleena Johnson launches her new album, Chapter 4: Labor Pains. While staying true to her heartfelt performances, trademark empowerment messages and frank lyrics, she manages to strike a credible balance between the true-school, classic musical styles for which she is known, and the industry&#8217;s current production [...]]]></description>

Dwele was the first artist I interviewed on the blog almost three years ago and a favorite for many years before that but I'm not the only music lover who's had an undying affection for the Detroit singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. There's an ever growing, devoted fan base who recognize Dwele as one of the most consistent and prolific artists of the modern soul era and who secretly search for and covet his unreleased songs like the holy grail of soul. From his crowd pleasing, constant touring to contributing hooks to hip hop artists like Slum Village, Common and Kanye West and securing two Grammy nominations in one year Dwele's seemed to avoid the pitfall of some notable soul artists who often find themselves shelved by a record label or who've become members of the "where are they now" club.

In 2003 Dwele released the sublime "Subject," his first offering on a major label followed in 2005 by his jazzy soul contribution "Some Kinda." 2008 finds Dwele on a new label (Koch Records) releasing his third album, Sketches of a Man (or fourth if you consider his underground, much bootlegged album "Rize" as his first). This time out he's working with producers Nottz and G1 but still writing and producing the majority of the record's smooth and hypnotically funky grooves. As you nod your head and sing along you may find yourself wondering how close the tales of love and life are to his real life. You may also find yourself reflecting on how this undeniably talented showman has remained so underrated and under the radar. Perhaps the music industry really is 4,080 shades of crazy. If for some crazy reason you decide to never buy another album, make sure Dwele's Sketches of a Man album is the last one you purchase. No record collection would be complete without it.

In this conversation Dwele discusses his new CD Sketches of a Man, his past and future music, tells us how he feels about his bootlegged music and he even addresses the mysterious Elluud, the Breakfast Club and johnsmyname projects.

Songs played in this interview: Open Your Eyes, Workin' On It, A Few Reasons, Love Ultra, Vain, Body Rock, I'm Cheatin'
