Tweet - Selections From It’s Me Again was a CD sampler that Tweet and Atlantic Records gave to radio stations and her fans during her 2004 tour to promote the It's Me Again album which was released in 2005. Selections From It’s Me Again was packaged as a mixtape despite being an album sampler. Missy Elliott served as the presenter and narrator for this album sampler as she did on Tweet’s 2001 album sampler called Missy Elliott & Timbaland Present Tweet (CD Sampler).
The CD samplers for Tweet - It's Me Again were called the 2004 Tour Mixtape and 2005 Mixtape. The 2004 Tour Mixtape has the catalog code of “STCD 301576” and the 2005 Mixtape has the catalog code of “PR015211”. All 2 editions have the same songs, artwork, design, and tracklist.
The first song is Turn The Lights Off. Missy Elliott is all over this song being the DJ. Especially at the beginning. I'll admit it, her callout hooks were annoying and that she did not necessarily need to be all over this song. It made the song resemble that mixtape sound.
We Don't Need No Water is a tight jam but could have done without Missy's verse. We Don't Need No Water is a cover version of The Roof is On Fire. The song We Don't Need No Water was a should have been placed at the end of the album sampler instead of Steer.
You is another one of my favorites. Tweet takes it back to the old school with the jazzy a cappella production sound on this one. Tweet wonders what she ever saw in this particular man in this song. She fell in love with him at first sight. Tweet wonders what she ever saw in him. That's right. In other words he is getting the boot at the very end of You.
I rate this sampler, 4/5****!
