Very good debut
by Erik Camdenton, MO
Reviewed on July 12th, 2004
When Tweet first came onto the scene, she was mercilessly compared to Ashanti. In fact, all the attention shoved on Ashanti hurt her in music sales. Although Ashanti may have the edge sales-wise, musically, she ain't got nothin' on Tweet. Tweet's voice is very soulful and different from most of the current crop of R&B divas. Although she is friends with Missy Elliott and Timbaland, she only works with them on a handful of songs. She was determined to use her own talents and not be a producer's puppet, and it paid off. Southern Hummingbird is full of terrific songs. Her voice works well in every song, and she has a lot of skill when it comes to songwriting. Her most popular song, "Oops (Oh My)" is one of the many standouts. Off the top of my head, the best ones are "My Place", "Smoking Cigarettes", "Always Will", "Motel", "Heaven", and "Drunk". What makes the album even better is a bonus track from Missy Elliott, and "Big Spender" is a good bonus for a terrific album.I recommend getting this CD. Hopefully, her next CD will get her the respect she deserves. She is a star in her own right and shouldn't have gotten all those comparisons to Ashanti. In the meantime, enjoy her terrific first album.
