Mixerr Album Reviews #1,490

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Tweet - Southern Hummingbird Sampler.

This album sampler 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. Tweet was the newest addition to Missy's Goldmind Inc. in 2000 as 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!


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.

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!!

Smoking Cigarettes is a smooth acoustic rhythmic song all based on the trials and tribulations of Tweet in what she had been through in life. She explores curiosity through her own nervousness. Tweet talks about if she had her boyfriend back she wouldn't complain at all. Smoking Cigarettes, is well, an ode to smoking cigarettes.

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. Boogie 2nite is an up in the club track for you to groove to and move your hips side to side to. Boogie 2nite should have had a music video to accompany the single. You will 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.
