Review

Q (6/02, p.123) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Another Missy Elliott and Timbaland-produced gem. Located-musically and vocally- somewhere between Aaliyah and Brandy...Tweet is heavy on the ballads but she avoids excessive sugariness via edgy, sensual lyrics..."
CMJ (4/1/2002, p.11) - "...Tweet calls upon the gods of dance and soul to showcase her wide range of talents....the musical equivalent of white cotton string-bikini underwear and thigh-high leather boots..."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/02, p.108) - "...It's hard to miss an echo of the young Tina Turner...she produces as well as writes leaving few emotional stones unturned."
NME (Magazine) (5/18/02, p.35) - 6 out of 10 - "...An agreeable collection of R&B, soul and disco singles..."

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

Despite being a protege of hip-hop artist Missy Elliott, Rochester native Tweet has a style much more in common with the urban soul of India.Arie. Having spent nearly a decade trying to get a big break, Tweet offers a more mature approach to her relationship themes. Despite the presence of executive producers Elliott and longtime creative partner Timbaland, much of SOUTHERN HUMMINGBIRD is steeped in Tweet's honeyed vocals and acoustic guitar woven around languid grooves.

Songs like the slow-jam "Smoking Cigarettes" and "Best Friend" (featuring Bilal and his Prince-like falsetto), play up the pain of love and loss while uptempo jams like "Boogie 2Nite" and "Make Ur Move" use infectious beats and juicy harmonies to cast these weightier concerns to the wind. Hip-hop heads end up getting their Jones fed with "Oops (Oh My)," the lead-off smash duet with Missy, defined by Elliott's subtle electronic-flavored production hand. Tweet's organic musical approach comes across best on "Motel," where the soulful siren uses a single acoustic guitar and a dash of background vocal accompaniment to sing this tale of a jilted lover getting busted in the act. SOUTHERN HUMMINGBIRD is a musical tonic guaranteed to make your soul soar.
