humming bird....








a few years back, tweet was said to be the new 'aaliyah'...i guess bc missy helped launch her career. to me, tweet has a distinct style and to compare her to aaliyah was a bit off to me. but maybe i am being to literal. nonetheless, the sultry 37 year old (yes....37) songstress has an album coming december 9, 2008 entitled, 'love tweet'. i am anticipating this album drop, to say the least.

anyway, tweet has been a favorite of mine since, "oops (oh my)". her voice caught me, as did the beat. then she had her song with trina, "no panties", and that was a rather forward song but still, i liked it. but my all time favs by her have to be "turn the lights off", and "i'm done". both songs are very different in their content, but the delivery is the same nonetheless. she's got a voice that does her freshman album justice; ' southern hummingbird'. she's one of those singers who can really make you feel a song. like "i'm done"....idk how many times i listened to that song to help me get over a rough (break-up) patch. i'm just one to listen to a song for more than just a beat....
if you have a chance, check out her song w/ her daughter called, "the two of us". it's very sweet and her daughter has a beautiful voice.

Tweet is definitely one of the more underrated talents in the music biz, her albums are consistent to that Bassment crew sound Tim and Missy learned from Devante, but it still has Tweet's personality all over it, which is what any artist should strive for. Great post!
