Mixerr Album Reviews #4

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will do another album review on Tweet. This review with be about the It's Me Again album.

Missy Elliott is all over the song Turn The Lights Off being the DJ. Especially at the beginning! I'll admit it that her callout hooks were annoying and that she did not necessarily need to be all over this song. It made the song resemble that mixtape sound. Missy ruined this track. They should have put this track on the album without Missy's verse. Tweet gives off her southern swagger on this particular song. Turn The Lights Off is a sweet song! I'll admit that.

Iceberg was an ok song. It was good. Iceberg alone should have been selected as a potential single as a single for the album. If the song was a music video, Tweet would've sent people back to the ice castle that she had melted in the Oops music video.
Iceberg tells the funny tale of how Tweet slipped up and fell in love with an iceberg met up with an iceberg who coincidentally turns out to be cold as ice and knew he could damn be SO COLD!! The relationship was greatly hot for the time it lasted until it sunk like the Titanic. Tweet proceeds to sing mourningly of a beyond sinking relationship for the entire duration of the Iceberg song.

Two Of Us is duo with Tweet's daughter Tashawna Johnson (Starchild). Two Of Us is a beautiful duo of Tweet and Tashawna. The song is about 3 to 4 minutes long in track duration. It's an OK song. One thing that separates Tweet from many popular R&B singers today is songs that celebrates the relationship between mother and daughter. (They both look Native American to me. From what I can tell.)

Cab Ride (Taxi) samples the intro music from the retro television show Taxi. Tweet's voice was so sultry and rich in harmony on the subtle song entitled Taxi. The song called Taxi should have been a single alone along with a music video to accompany this song. I don't know why there wasn't a music video for Taxi. I love the music production! The bridge is the best part of the song. If you just listen closely.

You is another one of my favorites. Tweet takes it back to the old school a cappella production sound on this one.
Tweet wonders what she ever saw in this particular man in this song. She fell in love with him at first sight. Tweet wonders what she ever saw in him. That's right. In other words he is getting the boot at the very end of You.

We Don't Need No Water is a tight jam but could have done without Missy's verse. We Don't Need No Water is a cover version of The Roof is On Fire. The song We Don't Need No Water was a weirdly strange way to end the It's Me Again album.


In the end Tweet got screwed over as well during the release of her second album It's Me Again in 2005. That one didn't sell as well. Missy did not put in enough time to promote the album which is what she should have done. She was also annoying on most of the tracks. Missy Elliott did not need to be all over this album. Mainly it was because Missy was collaborating with Ciara in 2004 on the song 1, 2, Step along with choreography for that music video and recording on her solo albums. It would have been a lot better if the songs Whisper, Shook Up, See Ya, and Drama were on there. If songs from the It's Me Again album sampler were on this album, it would have sold a lot better than it originally did. The It's Me Again album should have been certified diamond by now.

If the original crew members and people were at Atlantic and had Elektra not folded in 2004, we might have gotten a better result from this album. I would have rated this album 5 stars, but unfortunately Missy Elliott had ruined the album by being on most of tracks. She took most of the spotlight which was unnecessary. Tweet sounds very á la old school Monica on vinyl. Getting help from producer Kwamé was not the best idea. Missy really knows how to deal with old school music and new school music all at the same time. We have a nostalgic throwback of a sophomore album that is mainly focused on sounds of the 70s and 80s.


I would have rated this album 5 stars, but unfortunately Missy Elliott had ruined the album by being on most of tracks. She took most of the spotlight which was unnecessary. The best songs on this album are Cab Ride (Taxi) (This is the best song along with Turn Da Lights Off and My Man on the album!), Turn Da Lights Off, (Another one of my favorites! Missy ruined this track. They should have put this track on the album without Missy's verse. (Still my favorite though.), My Man, Steer, and You.

The best songs on this album are Cab Ride (Taxi), Turn Da Lights Off, (Another one of my favorites! (Still my favorite though.), My Man, Steer, and You. Taxi is the best song along with Turn Da Lights Off and My Man on the album! My Man is my other favorite song on this album. So Steer is an OK song. In fact, it's great! Iceberg, Could It Be, You, Sports, Sex & Food, My Man, and Steer should have all been singles.

I rate this album, It's Me Again, 3/5***.
