Selwyn is the moniker of an Australian r&b musician of South African ancestry, and "One Way" was his second Album, released in Australia, USA and South Africa in 2004. However, this album was considered of poor quality compared to his first, entitled "Meant To Be", which in 2002 netted three songs that crossed the top-twenty threshold in the Australian charts -- Buggin' Me, Rich Girl, and Way Love's Supposed To Be. The album went Gold, and Selwyn was a name, at least in Perth, where he's been living since he was a youngster. (Well he's still pretty young, he was born in 1982 in Durban, South Africa).
"One Way", by contrast, had one track which barely made it into the top 40 in the Australian charts. This must have delighted his Perth r&b nemesis, Cristian Alexandra, who has a new album coming out sometime soon. Cristian was born in Perth, but also seems to be a product of Perth's quite large and growing non-white, non-aboriginal community. In addition to immigrants from South Africa, there have been sizeable immigrations in the last three decades from Zimbabwe, Burma, India and elsewhere.
