Surrounded by a hive of honey dips, The-Dream and T.I. live out every man’s fantasy in their latest video. The track will appear on Dream’s forthcoming EP Crown (March 31) with Jeweldropping in June. Says Mr. Nash:
Crown is more modern R&B, and Jewel will be more what you might think of as my songwriter side, the songs I might have given to other artists before. If you put me in a box, Jewel is more what you get when that box is open. But I’m not limited by any box I’ve been put in, every year I’m expanding and growing, and it makes for a more interesting plot.
Speaking of expansion, Dream has reunited with Tricky Stewart to form their Capitol Records backed label, Contra Paris. To hear Dream tell it, the reunion seemed inevitable.
I’m not just talking about a hit— some things move the culture. You want to make sure everybody else can sing along and feel like it’s their record, too. We did that with “Single Ladies” and “Umbrella”. Those were songs that people could have a conversation about. A song can be a social, coffee-table thing or just a good time in a club—just like in life, they can be a long relationship or a one-night stand, but they all can be good. They’re just different things.
When I go from working with Celine Dion to doing ‘Holy Grail’ with Jay Z and Justin Timberlake, that’s not challenging to me—but it’s hard for everybody else to imagine that someone can contain that many things, to see how deep the rabbit hole can go. But our mind and mentality is as round as the world.
