Wyclef Jean uses his music to hypnotise people. The 35-year-old singer - who releases his sixth solo album 'The Carnival II: Memoirs of an Immigrant' on Monday (26.11.07) -incorporates heavy drumbeats in his music to put people in a trance so they subconsciously soak up his social messages.

He said: "Since the beginning of time drums are known to have hypnotised man, so that's why I've got real heavy grooves inside of the beat and bass to draw people in to the message."

Wyclef also says he secretly smuggles his statements into his music so that the "new millennium of kids" will learn about global issues while they party.

He added: "The new millennium of kids, they are just fed up with everything going on in the world. They figure that when they turn on the news they are going to see that sh*t anyway, so when they are with friends all they want to do if forget all of that. "That's why every record is a party and bulls**t record, down the club. We have to give kids the beats they are looking for, take them to that place where they are listening with their sub mind, and then actually you have taught them something without guzzling it down their throats."
