The Truth: Dwele & Emily King

Dwele
Dwele at Marcus Garvey Park (8.16.07)

Let me get this out of the way: I am in love with Andwele Gardner. This is a recent occurence. He looked me in the eye last night as I was trying to snap some pics for this here blog, lingered, smiled--as he did to many other young women at Marcus Garvey Park last night--and made me forget what I had came there to do. And I'm not one of those chicks who swoons; I'm NYC and jaded but damn if Dwele don't have a style and a swagger. I was open so open that Tweet's ole lyric, "I can't be your baby mama 'though I'd like to" rang seriously true.

Now Dwele took stage after a mostly acoustic set by talented new artist Emily King whose album Eastside Story comes out August 28th. He strolled onstage and charmed. Quick-witted and assured, Dwele sang a few songs before acknowledging a shrieking woman's request for "Angel," and then turned the free open air show into a request hour. He stepped out into the audience for a few crowd pleasers, and returned to the stage to finish off the show with the Eric Roberson penned hit, "Find A Way." Good times!

More pics and video footage from the show below.
