This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Love, Tweet Album Sampler from 2008 on DuBose Music Group. That's right!
The Love, Tweet album sampler had probably less than 500 physical pressings done before it all went to the digital download market. 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.
The production is sultry smooth in her vocals. The production style reminds you of the Southern Hummingbird days 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.
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 is about wether or not Tweet should continue loving someone or not.
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. Love Again sounded very suicidal to be honest. Love Again does have that 2010s slow jam sound.
My Dear has that Atlanta sound. The pipe organ makes My Dear have that church feel. 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. It's really weird too. It will remind you of Lil Sin's Who Got Yo Back track from 1998. The sound effects are really weird.
It’s goodbye my dear on My Dear. Tweet gives her man the kicking him out the door with all his clothing and furniture along with other personal possessions. Their relationship was good while it lasted.
Anymore is an upbeat 2000s neo-soul song about her boyfriend. Anymore is also the outro as well for some strange reason oddly but it's instrumental instead. Killer sound effect scratches on the vinyl in the background.
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.
Hey Baby has that 70s soul sound and feel to the composition. The percussion is smooth and the pace is slow in bpm. The instrumentation arrangement is professionally laid out in an expert manner formation. Flute is perfectly played.
Hey Baby is another love song. Tweet needs a man. She wants someone just like her. It's about flirting and being in love.
The Way To Love is about how Tweet finding the way to love. Tweet finds ways to love as the track progresses forward. She finds ways in her own mysterious ways. Tweet expresses that she is scared of loving someone. She questions her ability on the way love in the bridge of the song.
The Way To Love has that 70s soul sound with that new school neo-soul sound. The drum kits were perfect instruments performed in this track. Good choice selection on that! However, The Way To Love appears to be unmastered which is the result of the low quality audio. The Way To Love is in snippet form.
Addicted is about being to love. Tweet is looking for the one for her. She is addicted to a man’s love. She did catch it. She wonders at the end of Addicted if anyone caught the love bug. Did anybody out there catch it? Addicted is perfect for a snowy day, traveling music, or being outside.
However, Addicted appears to be unmastered which is the result of the low quality audio. Addicted is in snippet form.
Real Lady is a heartfelt song from the soul of Tweet. The beats are smooth and not hard. Real Lady is another song about love yet again.
Tweets been waiting a long time for someone to bring her joy. Attractions and looks brings the worst people knocking on her door. She wants someone just like her. Tweet needs a man. Then, Tweet explains the instructions on how to take care of a real lady. Tweet wants something genuine from the heart. Tweet describes herself as a “diamond in the rough”.
Can’t Live is yet another love song that will take you a roller coaster ride. A love affair does have its ups and downs. Can’t Live is really quirky and weird.
Alone is about being along. Tweet wonders if she’ll ever be able to date again or is it for the best that she be alone. She does not want to be alone. Alone is as cold her Iceberg song and Santana - Black Magic.
Cruisin' is a road travel song. A travelling song to put it basically. Think about doing 80 mph 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.
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 do perform a superb job at the very end of Them There Eyes.
Remedy was a better upbeat song. It will remind you of Nicole Wray's Destination from 2004. It's perfect for a snowy day at the mall or outside. The medium bass hits hard. Don’t let go or give in. Tweet is all you need.
Everything has that new school neo-soul sound mixed with new school rap sound. A featured artist such as T.I. or somebody else would be perfect to guest star on. Tweet is all you need.
He invaded her space and took up all of her time on the track I Just Wanna. Tweet wasn’t ready for that. She wanted to play around and he wanted to settle down. She was a fool to let him go. She misses having him around right now. Tweet needs somebody like you. Tweet needs somebody like you to be down for her. She wants to love him. Perfect beats and guitar instrumentation performance.
Love You More is a dance hall reggae track. It has that ska sound. PJ Morton performs with instruments as a featured artist on Love You More. The horn section is perfect. PJ Morton and Tweet make a great duo!
End Of The Aisle is about finding that special one. Both Tweet and Susie of Sugah explain how they found that special one. Smokey of Playa is the male vocalist. He stands out the most with his notable voice. (Susie is Susan Weems of Sugah.)
It’s You has perfect percussion arrangement with loud heavy pounding bass in the background. It’s You has that 70s acappella and 70s soul sound meeting new school spoken word. Old school meets new school on It’s You. Some of the track is distorted though.
Here is how the singles for this album should have been done. It should have been done in this order.:
My Dear
Cruisin'
Real Lady
I Just Wanna
Them There Eyes
Anymore
Remedy
