Interview: Catching Up With Lee DeWyze
How many songs did you initially start with before narrowing it down to the 11 that are on Live It Up?
We had quite a few. There are definitely going to be some songs that are offered out there separately from the album. I’m really, really proud of what I have done. All the ones that didn’t make the album, it’s not that they weren’t good songs, it was just that we knew the right songs to go on this first album. I’m happy with the single, I’m happy with title of the album, I’m happy with the whole thing.
Very awesome, you sound really excited. How did you decide on what to title the album, and were there any other possible titles for the album that you had in mind?
I ran a couple different titles through my head, you know Live It Up is definitely kind of the theme of the album. I felt that each one of these songs really had a little meaning [tying to the album title]. It’s a cool little album. I love it. It speaks a lot about me, everything in life, relationships, love, a loss, you know different things that everyone goes through in their life.

You’re not dealing with a diva in any way, and she contributes a lot. Some of the best ideas for the show last year were hers.”

Though no details are out yet on exactly who she’s singing to, we do know that Gwyneth will fire up something of a love rectangle/rhombus/square (take your four-sided pick) when she makes her Glee debut on Nov. 16.
“Gwyneth is coming on the show, ” Ryan Murphy told us. “And even though Emma (Jayma) is with John Stamos’ character, when she sees those two it makes her feel jealous. And that sort of launches another big, wrenching love triangle. Gwyneth will come between them, so it’s a quadrangle.”
