CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Something old, something new, something borrowed, all cool blue. The 2 is an exemplary showcase of production and musical styles. The artist benefiting from this production also happens to be the producer. Zwei definitely has their own sound as displayed in tracks like the catchy as hell "2 Times" and the funky quirky "Won't Play Your Game," but their influences shine through just as beautifully. Check the retro "Just Wanted You 2 Know" and the international vibe of "Withdrawal." Zwei's "the 2" will be a staple for R&B, pop and soul for the new millenium. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMy take on the 2 Latrice Saunders-Green | Tuskegee, AL | 11/07/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "It a very good effort for a debut cd. Jones and Kuti have really pulled together a good combination of funk and soul. Clearly you can see the neo-soul influence of D'Angelo, Musiq, India.Arie, and Jill Scott. "Chasing You" is a smooth groove that is soon to be a classic." Zwei - The Start of Something Good Troy L.Foreman | Arlington, VA | 07/25/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Many times you read reviews and wonder if the reviewer has actually listened to the cd. I can honestly say this, I have played this cd many many times. I learned of Zwei while they were performing outside a record store in the Washington, DC area. After listening to them perform 2 tracks, I went in and purchased the cd. From the opening track, "Won't Play Your Game", you knew you were in for a treat. There is a mix of everything on their debut cd, funky tracks, smooth r&b, and some wonderful ballads. All these songs come together in one solid debut cd. Released on an independent level, this cd gives the group the freedom to experiment with new sounds without having "big brother", a major record label, looking over their shoulders. Stand out tracks on this cd are the mid tempo gem "On the 2", the heartfelt ballad "2:22", and the catchy "2 Times" Zwei has laid the foundation for what can be an original and exciting musical career. Zwei- The 2 leaves the listener feeling that even though much of today's "popular" music seems factory made, there is still hope for people who truly enjoy original and inspired music." Excellent Debut Effort r1ggaman | Richmond, Virginia United States | 01/26/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This Debut CD featuring Kutimack and Mr. Jones is an excellent blend of funky soul and inspired, thought provoking lyrics. I read an article on KWEI in the Washington Post and decided to give them a chance. Everthing thing was done in-house from production to distribution. I'm really looking to their upcoming sophmore effort. " A Day and a $hort" is my favorite cut on the album. I can't that song out of my head. If you have a chance, check these cats out."
