Mixerr Album Reviews #2,241

The Tweet - Love, Tweet Advance Music Sampler was issued on CDr in 2008 to promote her then upcoming album Love, Tweet. Most of the songs are snippets. Here Love, Tweet takes new direction in musical sound. The album has more of a sultry neo-soul sound with a raunchy Atlanta sound. Tweet wanted to use the Atlanta sound on this album. (Most of the Love, Tweet album was recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, US.) This album was much different from It’s Me Again. It's still in-your-face lyrics and it's still good soul music.

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 major presence of Missy Elliott and Timbaland. (With their production sound of course.)

The album title for Love Tweet was just from her signature as if she was writing a letter or writing an autograph. She really couldn't come up with nothing creative for the title. “So I just titled it, Love Tweet. So, it's nothing significant, just, you know, giving back to the fans that I've been there, you know, from the beginning.”


Love, Tweet got shelved due lack of interest from distributors, leaks, business mergers, and lack of charting singles.Mainly internet leaks which killed this albums chance of ever seeing the light of day. And, of course, label mergers from bad corporate moves from the powers that be. The Love, Tweet album sampler had probably less than 500 physical pressings done before it all went to the digital download market.

Umbrella Recordings dropped the ball on Tweet by not promoting this album properly. They failed to do so at every aspect and every given chance. They should have just released the album regardless of anything. 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. You see Tweet admitted that no distributors were there to take on and distribute her Love, Tweet album. No distributors were available at the time to distribute her Love, Tweet album as she had planned or desired.

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.

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.


My Dear has that Atlanta sound. My Dear has the Atlanta sound. T.I. influenced Tweet to add the Atlanta sound to the song My Dear. Tweet instantly fell in love with the Atlanta sound after being inspired by T.I. to do so.

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. T.I. self-produced the song. My Dear is definitely single material appropriate for this album. It's really weird too. It is also similar to Lil Sin's Who Got Yo Back track from 1998. I really like it a whole lot.

The song My Dear was originally recorded by Ciara and T.I. in 2007 for the T.I. vs. T.I.P. album.  According to T.I., the track was not approved by Ciara’s record label so it did not make T.I. vs. T.I.P. as originally intended or as planned. It’s a song falls into the "unreleased for a reason" pile. In the music industry, it’s a well known fact for songs to be recycled when the original artist does not use it.


Them There Eyes is an upbeat swing jazz. The trumpets and saxophones did a superb job at the very end of Them There Eyes. It is her best jazz accompaniment ever recorded with piano phrasing and note selection. Its sound has an upbeat vibe quite similar to upbeat jazz. What comes to mind is the great Claude Hopkins and Nat Cole.

Tweet fell in love with them there eyes. Tweet noticed them there eyes of yours staring at her. It's about flirting and being in love. Tweet is a true gift to all the men out there presently. Them there eyes will get you into a whole lot of trouble.


Anymore is an upbeat 2000s neo-soul song about her boyfriend coming back into her life. It's instrumentation is perfect. Killer sound effect scratches on the vinyl in the background. Tweet is an excellent talent and very underrated.

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. Is this a game he’s playing? Would he decide to change? Tweet will have to think about her decision. Tweet is a true gift to him.

Tweet makes the chorus hook catchy by repetitive lyrics. She is one of the few artists that can sing repetitive lyrics without making the song annoying. Her singing is what makes the chorus hook catchy. Read the verses to chorus hook below.:

It’s like I don’t know you
It’s like I don’t know you
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore


Remedy was a better upbeat song. It reminded me of Nicole Wray's Destination from 2004. The song Remedy sounds a bit like Unappreciated by female pop group Cherish. It's perfect for a snowy day at the mall or outside. The words will resonate with you.

Tweet notices that you’ve been hurt and you’ve been broken down emotionally. You don’t wanna let it go again. Or give in. Your heart is closed in. Now Tweet is in the picture wanting you to trust her. The love Tweet has for you is so divine. Tweet is the remedy that you need. She is the remedy.


Real Lady is a heartfelt song from the soul of Tweet. The beats are processed in a smooth manner and not hard. Real Lady is another song about love yet again. This song is the truth.

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”.


Everything has that new school neo-soul sound mixed with new school rap sound. The beats have that new 2000s rap sound to them. A featured artist such as T.I. or somebody else would be perfect to guest star on. Tweet is all you need.


Cruisin' is a road travel song. A traveling 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.

Here Tweet is crusing down the highway doing about 80 mph. She lets the radio blast. Tweet thinks about all the things her man has done to her. She just wants to get away from all the pain. She don’t know that to do with him. All the love they had is through.


Anymore (Reprise) is an instrumental of Anymore.

I rate this album 5/5*****!!
