Lee DeWyze interview: Live It Up, life after Idol, tour plans and more
November 16, 2010 by Beatweek · 2 Comments
Becoming a television star this past spring hasn’t changed much about Lee DeWyze or the music he makes, beyond the fact that he’s now doing so for an exponentially larger audience. His post-Idol debut album Live It Up, which is being released today, sees him still writing his own songs, referencing his hometown lyrically, and refusing to allow himself to be categorized stylistically. In our Beatweek interview, Lee offers insight into the past four months of his newly hectic life and talks about where things will go from here.
Live It Up is not only the title of the album, it’s a sentiment that carries throughout a lot of the record, particularly in the first two tracks. Did that just unfold through the creation process?
It kind of unfolded in the creation process. I was in a happy place when I wrote the album, and I was in a good place. It starts off in that vibe and then it definitely goes to a little bit of a darker place towards the middle of the album, and that’s kind of what I wanted. I wanted it to be a different variety of music. I didn’t want it to be eleven acoustic songs or eleven big rock songs. It takes you to a different place with each song, and that’s kind of what the goal was for me.
Some artists take a year to make a record, or multiple years. You’ve made this record in just the past few months, and you were on tour for a lot of that time. On paper it looks like you were under a lot of time constraints. Was it a lot of long days trying to get this completed so you could get it out in time for Thanksgiving?
Yeah, definitely a rough little mental thing for me at first, just like why do we gotta put out a full album in this little bit of time? But I guess when you dedicate yourself to something a hundred percent as far as time, I mean I put every second into this album physically possible. I literally would sit there in the writing sessions and just write and write. When I wasn’t in there I’d be outside writing, coming up with ideas and different things. It was just really being focused. It comes down to work. What is your work ethic? I didn’t go out and do this or that, it was more like I have an album to make here and that’s what I’m gonna focus on. So that’s what I did.
With the resources you have available to you now, you could have let others do all the writing for this record, but you ended up co-writing almost every song, even with the time constraints. Why was that so important to you?
Because I consider myself a writer as well. I’m not just someone that sings songs and goes from there. Which is okay, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people that don’t write. Writing isn’t everyone’s favorite thing to do or what their thing is. But it is my thing and I’ve always written. I think anyone that followed me during the show knows that I’m a writer. And I guess for me it’s just hard to sing about and be involved in something when you’re not mentally or emotionally or somehow connected to the song. That’s just where I was at during the writing process, just putting my ideas out there and expressing who I am as an artist and what I want to do in an album. I’ve never been confused about what kind of artist I was gonna be or what I was gonna do. I always knew who I was, and I’m just glad I was able to stay true to myself on this one.
When you sat down with your label and said okay, I want to be heavily involved in the songwriting, did they have to be convinced to go with that?
You know, it was never like they said “convince me of that.” It was more like okay, “you write, so go write and we’ll see how it goes.” We went in the first session and Live It Up happened. And so after that they were like hey, do your thing. It just kind of took off from there. There was never a time where I sat in a room and was like okay, sounds good, and just went and sang it, alright, have a good day. There were times when we had one session scheduled and we had to make it into three because we were just figuring it out and I was writing. It was a cool process, man. The label was really on board with it after they saw that I was really serious about it. They’ve been awesome to me.
Sweet Serendipity just came out as a single. Are you the type who’s looking at the iTunes charts and airplay charts and sweating it, or do you even pay attention to that stuff?
I don’t really sweat stuff like that. I’m proud of it, and whatever it does or doesn’t do is okay with me. I mean of course I’d love to see it up there on the charts, that would be cool, you know? (laughs). Why not? I have my first single out there and I think in time it’s gonna do really, really well. I think it’s a great song, and I’ve heard tons of positive feedback from different people and stations and this and that. So I’m happy about it. But I mean you can’t control stuff. You gotta just stand by what you do, be proud of it, and move on. That’s what I’m doing. I’m gonna stand by this song and the album, and once the album comes out, I think people will really get an idea of what of what I was doing for the past few months, and really get a better idea for it.
You’ve got multiple Chicago references on this album. Lake Michigan. Chicago in the winter. Was that something you consciously tried to work in?
The Chicago references were not planned necessarily. It was more like I was writing about it and that’s where these things happened. Sometimes it’s easier to get an understanding of a song when put in that setting or whatever. All the songs are written from a very honest place. It’s me. Like in Dear Isabelle, the Lake Michigan reference, or in Me And My Jealousy, ‘Chicago in the winter.’ If you’ve ever lived in Chicago, anyone who has, they know what a winter in Chicago is like. To be going through a tough time here in the winter would be just be all the more worse. So it’s just kind of the way it happened, a little shout-out to my home.
The biggest transition on the album is from Me And My Jealousy which has this soaring thing going on, and then it cools off into Brooklyn Bridge, which has a sultry feel. Having something like Brooklyn Bridge on the record, do you think that’s gonna surprise people?
Hopefully. I want it to, because that’s me. It’s kind of my thing. I like good music, and I don’t want people to think that I’m just this guy that has to sing rock all the time or folk all the time. Basically, I’m always gonna do whatever it is that I want to do. Whether that be a big rock balled or a broken down acoustic song, I just like music. So coming off of the show, many people are going to expect one thing or another. Having them be surprised by what’s on the album is something I’m actually looking forward to, because I don’t know how much you can learn about an artist or a style of someone’s music through that show. I think that’s more of a different setting. It’s a different feel. I think that being able to put out my own album now, that’s really, really cool. It’s like I’m showing everybody, hey, this is what I like to do. This is me.
I know this is your first major label album but you’ve done some indie records in the past, so this is not your first rodeo as far as being in the studio and making a record. Do you think that experience helped you this time around?
Absolutely, one hundred percent. It didn’t freak me out, being in the studio. I felt really at home and I felt good about it. So being in the studio was really cool. I know what it’s like to get in that vocal booth and do a couple takes, and I know what it’s like to change things up in the middle of the recording. So I’ve definitely been there. But having this be the first album I have on a major is really exciting for me.
We’ve gotten quite used to seeing you with your guitar on TV. How much guitar did you get to play on the record?
A lot. It’s always different studio vs live. I’m the first one to admit, I’m a pretty unorthodox guitar player. I’m very percussive, and sometimes you don’t want that when you’re trying to make a record. It’s always different when you see someone live and you see them on the record, but my thing is I wanted the record to be very similar to how it’s going to be. I want it to be real. I want it to come from a real place. And I want people when they come to see me at the shows to have fun. I want them to dance. I want them to have a good time.
Speaking of live shows, you’ve already done quite a bit of touring this year with the group tour. Are you going back out on the road before the year is over, or are you going to wait until after the new year?
I think it’s gonna be til after the new year. We have a lot of stuff going on into the new year, and it’s definitely gonna be a process, but one I’m looking forward to. I’m definitely going on tour next year, early on. When that time comes I’ll be ready for it. Right now I’m just getting ready to hit all the TV shows and do all the things we’ve got to do, and have a good time doing it.
You’re going to be back on American Idol performing at some point next year. The winner always goes back. Every winner goes through this. But in your case, you’re going to be the one who’s going back and not only will it be new contestants, but three of the four judges you worked with are gone, Rickey Minor is gone, there’s talk of set changes, format changes, the most drastic changes in the show’s history. When you step on that Idol stage and perform the next time, have you thought about the fact that it’s gonna look like a whole different show to you?
Yeah, it’s kind of cool actually. Obviously the judges I worked with, it would be cool to go back and see them and all that. But at the end of the day, I’m playing for a different show. At this point it’s not gonna be about American Idol for me. It’s gonna be about doing my thing and getting up there in front of all the fans of the show of mine that are continuing to watch, and you give them something to be excited about. I’m excited to do it. I think it’s gonna be really cool to go back there, when, if, how I got back there, and to play my song. It’s gonna be different than when I was up there last time, I know that much (laughs).

Maroon 5 reveals third album Hands All Over, tour dates
May 10, 2010 by Beatweek · Leave a Comment
Maroon 5, the quintet who’ve racked a score of hit singles from their first two albums, have announced the title and release date for their third record. Hands All Over will hit streets on September 21st and is being produced by veteran rock producer Mutt Lange, perhaps best known for his work with Def Leppard and AC/DC. That’s a long time for fans to wait, but in the mean time the new album’s first single (not yet identified by name) will hit radio on June 28th and Maroon 5 will hit the road on July 30th, with tickets going on sale this week.
According to Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine, “We didn’t even talk to anyone else” when it came to choosing Lange as their producer for Hands All Over (which we’ll go ahead and assume has no connection to the early classic Soundgarden song of the same name). Song titles for Hands All Over include the title track, the country tinged Out of Goodbyes which features vocals from Lady Antebellum. the funky Misery, Stutter, Give A Little More, and Don’t Know Much About That.
Maroon 5′s tour mates will at various times include Owl City, Guster, Kris Allen, VV Brown and Ry Cuming. Full list of dates at maroon5.com.
Previous hits from Maroon 5 include Makes Me Wonder, This Love, and Harder To Breathe.

MGMT Congratulations album helped by SNL performance
MGMT may not have picked the best of SNL episodes on which to perform songs from their new album Congratulations, but audience disfavor with this past weekend’s snoozer apparently didn’t rub off on the band, as their album has climbed to the number three overall album spot in iTunes after having been in the five spot prior to their Saturday Night Live stint. The duet (or are the a quintet?) are still behind the unstoppable Glee/Madonna soundtrack as well as the latest from country darlings Lady Antebellum, but MGMT has managed to rise above Usher, Justin Bieber, and prior SNL musical guest Kesha on the iTunes album charts.
MGMT now hits the road for a series of tour dates beginning with a show in Toronto on April 29th followed by U.S. tour dates in May, June, and July, with a performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago in August, before heading overseas in September.
Kate Nash is your best friend today
April 20, 2010 by Beatweek · Leave a Comment
It’s at times pleasantly poppy and at other times ponderously profane, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from Kate Nash, as her new album My Best Friend Is You makes its debut today in the United States. Debuting in the top ten in iTunes this morning, the album includes the breezy “Paris” and the plucky “Kiss That Grrrl” before Kate declares in “Don’t You Want To Share The Guilt?” that “barbecue food is good,” while later in the album she goes on an obscenity-laced spoken rant in Mansion Song involving a “dirty pair of knickers.”
The whole thing is patently Kate, and if you’ve enjoyed her previous work then you’ll be in good company on this go-round. While she’s currently in her native UK for the album release, she will be heading to North America next week for a brief string of tour dates on both coasts.
So what does she have to say about My Best Friend Is You? “I got much more involved in the music,” she says of the new album. “Writing parts for strings and horns this time. Before I wanted it to be as simple as possible. I think I was trying to have as much control in my life as possible.” As far as her confidence that her audience will stick with her as her music continues to evolve, she says of her fanbase: “It’s like you grow up together.”

Full tour dates are available at SheAndHim.com. Volume Two is available in iTunes.

March 31, 2010 by Beatweek · Leave a Comment
In one of the more interesting pair-ups slated for summer touring in 2010, David Gray and Ray LaMontagne have announced plans to co-headline sixteen tour dates. David Gray, who appeared on the cover of Beatweek Magazine in January, recently released Draw The Line, an album which produced lead single Fugitive, giving the singer-songwriter his biggest single since his early hit Babylon. Ray LaMontagne, after releasing Gossip in the Grain in late 2008 and seeing it debut at #3 on Billboard and #1 in iTunes, is in the midst of working on his fourth album which is expected to be released later in 2010 (no word yet whether it will be released prior to the tour dates).
Fans looking forward to the tour will have to be patient, however, as it doesn’t kick off until August 15th in Maryland.

The European dates are sandwiched by stateside appearances in April in Milwaukee and in in June in Colorado.
