Free Music Review: This hummingbird needs to fly the coop...
Hit: 2 Stars
Tweet's debut, "Southern Hummingbird" is drab, boring, depressing and uninspiring. Most of the songs just drag along because there is nothing great about her voice and the production is some of the worst I have heard in a long time. I am in no way saying that an artist's debut should be happy-go-lucky, but my God, don't bore the listener the entire way through! Another gripe is that this album is too long, clocking in at over an hour and having a total of seventeen tracks. If one chooses to administer a lengthy album, create a few different moods with the songs. Even the songs that were released are just decent, "Oops, Oh My" and "Call Me." There is nothing spectacular about either of these songs.
"Drunk" and "Motel" are blatant lyrically, and I appreciate her honesty in these songs, but they are lackluster as a whole. "Drunk" is about consuming lots of alcohol in an effort to escape life's hardships and "Motel" is about a woman who saw her man entering a motel with another woman. The production on these songs is insufferable and Tweet doesn't even bother giving us a treat vocally. Her vocals are decent on "Motel", but she gives us nothing to remember. "Boogie Tonight" is another lackluster song. It's a poor excuse for a party starter. The production sounds like an amateur playing around in the studio. Bilal duets with Tweet on "Best Friend" and they do an okay job together. Having a huge crush on your best friend is this track's subject matter. The production on this song is very typical for an R&B track; the producers offer nothing worth mentioning.
There are a few cuts that I halfway enjoyed such as "Beautiful" and "Complain". Tweet extends herself vocally, coming out of that alto she constantly sings in. It's true, her sound is at it's best when she sings in alto, but her soprano and second soprano hold its own on "Beautiful".
Overall, I had a difficult time getting into this album. Honestly, I never got into it. Therefore, I couldn't recommend this album to potential buyers. Guys, you'd be better off leaving this one on the shelf. Trust me, you aren't missing anything.

Southern Hummingbird Poster
Tweet is the classic show-biz story: an overnight sensation 10 years in the making. The sultry singer/songwriter traveled a long and twisted path to success, one that brought her in contact with Missy Elliott, who years later tracked her old friend down and rescued her from obscurity. The resulting effort is a crystal-clear triumph, much more old-school soul than contemporary R&B. Aside from the dance-driven "Oops (Oh My)," Southern Hummingbird's sound is far less electronic than the usual Missy and Timbaland coproduction. A good mix of party grooves and more intimate acoustic guitar work nicely balances Tweet's graceful vocals. Her style will inevitably draw comparisons to Minnie Riperton, though many would describe her as a female D'Angelo. Either way, fans of intelligent soul music will be glad Tweet stuck it out. Hummingbird is the work of an introspective and talented woman. --Rebecca LevineMissy Elliott and Timbaland present Tweet, an addition to Missy's Goldmine records and the first star of 2002. Southern Hummingbird ranges from hip-hop party grooves, to sultry love songs, to the songs that show Tweet at her most passionate and edgy, with an acoustic guitar. Features the first single 'Oops (Oh My)'. 2002.
