GREAT ALBUM!!!!
by Jennifer French Garland, TX United States
Reviewed on August 13th, 2003
This album is GREAT! Here's a play by play:1. Intro--A little corny, but gives a little background nonetheless.
2. My Place--Smooth vocals, starting out the album slow. Relaxing, sexy song with great lyrics.
3. Smoking Cigarettes--One of my favorites. Very original lyrics, again smooth vocals as usual. The beat adds a lot to this song. Around the same tempo as previous track, but this tempo is where Tweet is at her best.
4. Best Friend--This is a duet with Bilal. Again, similar pace. This song is a bit more passionate than the first two. Tweet's voice sounds awesome in this as she puts more power behind it. Bilal sounds great and a little like D'Angelo at parts.
5. Always Will--Yet another slow paced one, in the same category as the first few, still awesome. Background vocals add a lot to this song.
6. Boogie 2Nite--Finally picks up the pace. Very dancable. I love when she says "Are you ready?" in between verses because you can really hear her actual voice.
7. 7. Oops (Oh My)--This was the first single, and it's good. It doesn't necessarily represent the album as well as another single could, but I think it's the song on the album that would be most widely appealing. Signature Missy/Timbaland kind of beat.
8. Make Ur Move--Almost like a mix of the style of the first songs with tracks 6 and 7. Good song, as usual. It's got a '70s vibe to it.
9. Motel--Another one of my favorites, along with Smoking Cigarettes. It's yet again very original. The acoustic guitar sounds awesome with her voice and just sets the mood for the whole track. Wonderful song!
10. Beautiful--Tweet brings the pace back down. This is a sweet song with some piano accompaniment. Her voice sounds very light and the song makes you want to sing with it, even if it is slow.
11. Complain--Same kind of deal as the first few songs on the CD. Tweet sings about how she would change if only her certain somebody would come back. It's got the same kind of guitar as Hotel but this one is wanting someone instead of wanting them gone.
12. Heaven--Love this one. Starts with a heartbeat which leads into the song. The heartbeat becomes part of the beat throughout the song, it's pretty cool, especially with Tweet's smooth voice.
13. Call Me--This is the best fast song on the album. The beat is quite blatantly Timbaland. She does the stuttering like Joe in "Stutter." It sounds very cool. The lyrics to this song are really good.
14. Drunk--Slow again! The song comes along kind of slow itself, too, not just the pace. It's a little like you want to her sing a little faster and she can't get it out. I don't really undetstand the song, but it sounds good and is definitely a chilled out track but real sad.
15. Outro--Sounds a lot happier than the Intro.
16. Bonus Track: Sexual Healing: Just like "Oops(Oh My)." Good song though.
17. Bonus Track: Missy Elliott, Big Spender: Not the greatest song in the word. But the lyrics are catchy, as usual w/Missy. Overall, this album has a very old-school soul vibe. A lot of the faster tracks have a 70s feel to them and the slow ones are very addicting. Tweet is definitely not your typical R&B artist.
