Mixerr Album Reviews #148

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Tweet - Tweet Sampler. This was released on Goldmind Inc. and Elektra in 2001. This was the up coming sampler for the Southern Hummingbird album that was released in 2002. This album sampler was released on both CD and vinyl.

Some tracks for Tweet Sampler may have been added to the 1st presses, 2nd presses, and 3rd presses. The differ from the CD versions and the vinyl LP versions. Some of which may have more songs. For example, the German CD sampler has 17 tracks while the rest have less than that. The other CD and LP versions have 6 songs. Some of them full album versions! If you don't believe me, buy it yourself.

The Intro starts off with Missy Elliott telling us why we should buy Tweet's album, what the songs are, and what the fans should expect from the Southern Hummingbird album. Missy Elliott gets into her testimony about this sampler.

Oops (Oh My) knocks down artistic boundaries in ALL directions because it talks about masturbation and having sex in bed. That is one cold track. Missy Elliott is on there too. This is a new school track. It blew everything else out of the water back in 2002. I can't believe that was 11 years ago! Wow!!

Motel sounds like it was based on a true story. Tweet showcases her guitar playing skills on this song. I love the acoustic guitar used on this song. Yes it is a love song. Tweet goes solo on this song. I can feel this song. It is great!!

Boogie 2nite is a dance track with pure old school funk and new school soul. This is one of those tracks that makes want to get up and dance. Tweet goes solo on it. I love the production even if it seems a bit distorted and unbalanced. The beats and vocals were not up to par. The vocals were a bit too low. You will still love this song either way.


Here are the tracks of the Tweet - Tweet Sampler:

Tweet was the newest addition to Missy's Goldmind Inc. in 2000 and 2002. She was the tenth artist to sign to Goldmind Inc.! Tweet is multidimensional with her acoustic guitar. Either way... This album sampler is off the hook!!!

I rate this album, Tweet Sampler, 5/5*****!!
