Wyclef's press release


 Wyclef Jean's campaign for President of Haiti  has ended , but that's not preventing him from releasing a new six-song EP called "If I Were President: My Haitian Experience." 

Columbia Records will release If I Were President: My Haitian Experience, the new six song EP from Wyclef Jean, available digitally on Tuesday, December 7, 2010.
If I Were President: My Haitian Experience, includes “Election Time,” a provocative new universal song written in the wake of Wyclef’s recent attempt to run for president in Haiti.  This song is inspired by Pink Floyd’s ‘Another Brick In The Wall,’ with the chant, ‘We don’t need no education,’” says Wyclef Jean.  ”It is also inspired by Fela Kuti’s  ’Zombie.”  It’s the voice of the youth.  It is the voice of this generation.  It’s the artist once again doing what the politicians should be doing.  This is about inspiring the voice of this generation.”

“I have to show all the sides of Haiti,” Wyclef Jean says.  ”There is still beauty in Haiti and I have to show the beauty and the ugly reality that is going to change.  It will change.”

Wyclef Jean plans a world tour in 2011.  ”The Haitian Experience ” tour will include, “the music, the art, the culture and definitely the carnival
