Mixerr Album Reviews #1,311

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Simply Tweet EP by Tweet.

Yes, this is the same R&B/Soul Tweet that was on Missy Elliott's Goldmind Inc. in the early 00s! This EP was released digitally on Du Bose Music Group Inc. in 2013.

Proceed is a Tweet fan favorite song off of this EP. It's about whether or not Tweet should continue loving someone or not. The production on point as it usually is! The flute solo is quite lovely. The metronome in the background fits in perfectly with the beats and the drums. A smooth melody tune. In fact, Proceed is the 3rd most downloaded song that fans and other people buy off of Simply Tweet EP.

Daydreaming is a beautiful cover of Aretha Franklin - Daydreaming! I love it. Her emotive, yet subtle vocal style fits perfectly to cover the romantic lyrics of Aretha Franklins Daydreaming song. Sorry is about falling out of love.

Way To Love is about searching for love. Love is lost. The beats and drums on Way To Love are absolutely bananas.
Tweet shines brilliantly on the album's closing track Enough. On this song, Tweet tells us her story for calling it quits. She knew that her relationship ain't gonna last much longer. So it's time to move on the both of them.


Due to marketing, online leaks, emotions, and creative differences, Love, Tweet was shelved and leaked online. Which is probably why Love, Tweet was/is only released on promo only CD-r back around 2008/2009.

Tweet should have not leaked the materials from Love, Tweet and Simply Tweet. That way it would have gotten more fans to appreciate her music. She knew what she was getting herself into when she leaked her songs from Love, Tweet. That's why her songs from the Love, Tweet album was leaked onto her website for her fans to download for free in 2008. (Not trying to be mean or libel.)

The songs that should have been on here were, Anymore, Remedy, My Dear, Cruisin', Love You More, It's You, Reasons, Priceless, Never Too Late, Alone, Addicted, You, and Procrastination.

As for distributors, Tweet should have went to E1, City Hall, CNR, CDBaby, Fontana, or Clout. Don't know why she didn't do that. Umbrella Recordings was not a good label for her. I don't see Grand Hustle as an option either. Tweet should have went to Truth & Soul Records as Nicole Wray did in 2010. Truth & Soul benefits well.
You see Tweet admitted that no distributors were there to take on and distribute her Love, Tweet album.

Her topics don't cover new ground. We've all heard this type of material before.  If you are a devoted Tweet fan, this EP was not worth the long wait. But to support her, just buy this EP whether it be the physical CDs or digital copies. (Again, not trying to be mean.)

I rate this EP, Simply Tweet, 3/5***.
