Mixerr Album Reviews #261

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Tweet Advance Music Sampler from 2008 on DuBose Music Group. That's right! This album sampler had probably less than 500 physical pressings done before it all went to the digital download. This was the sampler for the Love, Tweet album that got shelved due lack of interests from distributors, mainly internet leaks (which killed this albums chance of ever seeing the light of day), and label mergers from bad corporate moves from the powers that be.


Up first is the upbeat 2000s neo-soul song Anymore, which is also the outro as well for some reason but it's instrumental. Killer FX scratches.
It's been a while since Tweet and her boyfriend dated so they want get reacquainted. Tweet never anticipated that this would happen or occur if her boyfriend treated so nice. It's like she doesn't know him anymore. Her boyfriend left her hanging previously. Would he decide to change? Tweet will have to think about her decision.

Them There Eyes is an upbeat swing jazz. Tweet fell in love with them there eyes. It's about flirting and being in love. The trumpets and saxophones did a superb job at the very end of Them There Eyes. 
Remedy was a better upbeat song. It reminded me of Nicole Wray's Destination from 2004. It's perfect for a snowy day at the mall or outside.
Cruisin' is a road travel song. A travelling song to put it basically. Think about doing 80 down the highway on the countryside. It's another song that is choice material for a single! Cruisin' is definitely single material appropriate for this album. So was Real Lady, Everything, and I Just Wanna.

My Dear has that Atlanta sound. It also reminds me of Lil Sin's Who Got Yo Back track from 1998. My Dear is a virtuoso upbeat song similar to a modern love ballad. T.I. did a good job rapping on this song. Marz had produced this. My Dear is definitely single material appropriate for this album. Let me say that right now. It's really weird too.


On Love Again, Tweet expresses that she is scared of loving someone. She's so confused. Does she love again? Even though Tweet's supposed to let go she needs to get it together. Tweet doesn't want to live without that special person.
Love Again has that winter theme on a cold ice winter holiday. Just imagine ice skating on a pond during the holidays. Love Again is 3 minutes and 40 seconds long which is about as long as a typical average Tweet song. It's slow pace at first, but gets upbeat fast. I did not like the song Love Again. It sounded very suicidal to me to be honest. Love Again does have that 2010s slow jam sound. I didn't really like it.


Here is how the singles for this album should have been done. It should have been done int this order.:

My Dear
Cruisin'
Real Lady
I Just Wanna
Them There Eyes
Anymore


The production is sultry smooth in vocals. The production style reminds of the Southern Hummingbird day of 2002. Tweet needs to get back to that Southern Hummingbird sound with Timbaland producing the beats. Yes, the absence of Timbaland shows on this album. The only contributions missing from this album are the presence of Missy Elliott and Timbaland.
I rate this album, Tweet Advance Music Sampler, 5/5*****!
