Interview
Kyle of Jagged Edge [Phoner] [May 10th 2006]
 

Jagged Edge have now dipped in the music world, they have been around for 10 years, and have a massive fan base. They’re last album ‘Hard’, was not bad, with a quite soulful song on it called ‘Walked Outta Heaven’, hopefully this JE interview will attract a few more JustSoul fans, that are much needed…here’s how the funny guy Kyle, answered my serious questions on JE.

Matthew: Hi Kyle and welcome to Just Soul, why do you talk about girls the way you do in your lyrics?
Kyle: We just talk about being in different situations, that’s the good thing about ‘Let’s Get Married’, we just keep real.

Matthew: Are you pleased with your new record?
Kyle: Oh we definitely pleased. We more than pleased. This is the best album yet from us, man. We are proud of the work that we’ve done.

Matthew: What do you guys get up to in your spare time?
Kyle: Were always working! We feel like God blessed us with the opportunity to do music so that’s what we really do, day in/day out. Were ready for the next album already, cus we just constantly workin’. Were blessed to have the job that we have and were blessed to have the fans that we have.

Interview

Matthew: What states are you individually from?
Kyle: I’m originally from Georgia, Atlanta. Richard, he’s from Boston, Brandon & Brian’s from Hartford, Connecticut.

Matthew: What’s life like away from Jagged Edge?
Kyle: We was friends before we actually began the group. I mean: life outside Jagged Edge is different to just some regular guys, we just enjoy each other’s company.

Matthew: Is it kinda crazy?
Kyle: I mean yeah, was just some popular guys, and were in it for the music. You know, we always try and stay fresh, and try to be around pretty girls, and stuff like that.

Matthew: Are you familiar with R&B groups like the Manhattans, Blue Magic, The Delfonics, if yes, have they played a part in your musical influences?
Kyle: I mean we definitely know those guys; they are like the founders of not just R&B music but Soul music. For them to have years of experience we kinda like right behind them by droppin’ our 5th album & we been here for 10 years. We feel like were pickin’ up from were they left of at, you know, it’s a new era.

Matthew: But have they played an influence?
Kyle: Influence? Our musical influence is Gospel/Hip-Hop, but it’s like the real Gospel & the real Hip-Hop. We just really enjoy what we do because it defines our style. It’s kinda Gospily but yet it’s street, so it’s kinda intricate.

Matthew: What do you turn to for inspiration in your lyrics?
Kyle: The thing about ideas is we write about things based on reality, things that we go through. We just keep it real because with reality, you can always go back and put a song on that can take you to some good times.

Matthew: Do you have any tours fixed or any UK visits?
Kyle: Everythings looking lovely right now. Were ready to go out on our own tour. I like Genuwine, just a couple of other cats like Ne-Yo & Chris Brown…they got it all happenin’. It’s been spoken that Mary J Blige Wants to tour with us again.

Matthew: Thank you for this interview, Kyle.
Kyle: Thank you.
