Another HOT Release from WHOA!
One love enjoy!
It's tempting to describe W. Ellington Felton with slashes:
"He's a singer/poet/actor/emcee." Crowned the "future
folk-soul hero" by Complex Magazine for his vocals on Prince
Paul's Politics of the Business CD, Ellington is using every
weapon in his arsenal to resuscitate soul music.
"He's a real talented brother, a Renaissance cat, who
paints, writes, does books. He's one of those Sammy Davis,
Jr. types, but on kind of a millennium style," Prince Paul
says of W. Ellington Felton, or "Dub Ell," as he's known in
his native Washington, DC.
Ellington knows that poems often make the best songs. His
hip-hop rhapsodies paint vivid images that engage, and
sometimes unnerve listeners. He croons lazily in a dark,
almost operatic baritone. He emcees with ease, spitting
shrewd rhymes in which compelling tales unfold.
Ellington, son of legendary jazz pianist Hilton Felton. A
former student activist, Ellington slips in socio-political
jabs between beats-an effort to shake things up a world he
calls "so predictable." "The world is just so obvious right
now," he says. "There's no element of originality, or
surprise, or spontaneity. The only thing I try to
consciously do with music...is try to figure out ways to
push the buttons."
And of course, he writes lots and lots of stories about
love-falling in it, getting over it, and making it work.
Rather than the sappy, clichΘ-ridden variety, Ellington's
songs address the complexities of love in real life. On the
track "Love is Somethin' More" from his 2002 CD Soul Sonnets
he admonishes, "Love is somethin' more/Than love songs, love
poems, and temporary highs."
People are taking his music to heart. "I get very specific
comments in terms of the individual," Ellington says of his
fans' reactions, which range from "you saved my marriage"
and "you helped me get over a divorce" to "how did you know
what I was thinking" and "I don't ever want to make you mad,
because I don't ever want you to talk about me in a song."
Ellington ventures beyond hip hop and soul for a sonically
expansive experience on his latest release Blutopia. The
avant-garde project dabbles in Funk, Jazz, Drum and Bass,
and Latin rhythms while he explores his heart and soul at a
deeper level. On "Equally", he sidesteps baby-mama drama,
opting to build a loving future with his expectant lady.
"Let's act like grown folks," he demands. He taps
Persian-French singer Lou Lou, of Thievery Corporation fame,
for help on the samba "Noitulover". He scores with the
underdog hip hop anthem for nerdy kids everywhere,
"Definition One": "We're the weirdoes/Slash major
zeroes...Quietly we were your heroes."
When he's not making music, Ellington commands the spotlight
as a classically trained actor. He studied theater for four
years at Carnegie Mellon University. In 1999, he starred in
the critically acclaimed hip-hop play Rhyme Deferred,
performed at the Kennedy Center, the National Black Theater
Festival, and the Nuyorican Poets CafΘ. Ellington also
graced the silver screen in Breakfast at Ben's, part of
Spike Lee's 2000 Afrocentricity compilation of short films
by aspiring African American directors. In 2002, Ellington
played the starring role in Source Theatre Company's
production of Amiri Baraka's The Dutchman.
Whether rhyming, singing, or simply reciting lines,
Ellington's emotional vulnerability is what makes him both
human and powerful. He wields rhymes and soul lyrics like a
sword, and then shows us battle scars, fully living up to
his personal motto "Art! Hurts."
