McDonald's McCafe: Dwele



Here is the McCafe commercial that features Dwele. I think it's a pretty good R&B track on it's own. Dwele's always creamy smooth flow works wonders for the brand. This makes for such great blend of marketing, smooth quasi-neo soul and syrupy sweet coffee concoction. I'd really like to see more of the performance that's what is really telling the story and wonderfully i might add. The music is an audio personification of this product! Personally I could go for a lot less of the 1970's DJ-speak & hard sell in the beginning. The agency did a good job, but all the voice-over sounds like the marketers were afraid to let the spot be what it was intended to be. I assume that it was a smart musical introduction and an ongoing brand support piece for the "new" drinks. We get about 6 seconds of the real commercial. That is Dwele singing an incredibly un-commercial sounding ode to a cup of coffee and dude nails it. That's what everyone is talking about on the wonder-tubes aka the inter-blogs. Man, give us a uninterrupted (not stepped on, no V.O. perhaps viral ) long version of the video and a leaked track, you know like the record industry would do. https://sites.google.com/site/mayuradocs/PinIt.png

Sorry BOOOO... Love the Dwele song but poetry slam is on my list or contrived "what's Black about it" settings. I have a running list on my bberry of situations add to water and POOF you have a Black Ad... Let's see off the top of my head it is - gospel, a city setting replete with brownstones (as if all Black People live in Brooklyn), BBQs, have to have the father with the family (we like to see our mens in the spot), a step show, a group of girlfriends (a prissy, a bougie, a weirdo, a tree hugger or a fashionista), a sassy little girl, a poetry slam (snap snap), natural hair neo soul vibe, black woman buying hot shoes/handbag/shopping, black man (wait that never happens), latest and greatest and how we wear brands as a badge... I am sure there are more on my list this is all I have for now...
