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.
Mikeisha's Top 5

2. "Best Friend"

5. "My Place"
Free Music Review: Pleasant, angelical vocals and most importantly, real.
Hit: 4 Stars
Tweet has a soul. It's evident on most of these tracks.
Her best song EVER is Complain. Great restraint, heart-wrenching and true lyrics, and very relate-able. A step ahead of the "music" of today.
Thank goodness for people like Tweet, Kelly Clarkson, Erykah Badu, Christina Aguilera and Nelly Furtado.
Nothing but realness/fun comes out of their music.
Complain, Drunk, My Place, Always Will and Best Friend are in a category of their own!
Free Music Review: Simply pure and profound ......
Hit: 5 Stars
Tweet's debut album was nothing short of a pleasant surprise for me. Even if it had been filled with club bangers such as "Oops...Oh My", it would have been worth it. But the song that made me go out and purchase the album was "Best Friend" w/ Bilal which was playing on a jazz station here in Miami. Both he and Tweet were singing their a**es off in that song. But when I first heard the album it was filled with most of those deep and heart touching songs, my favorite one being "Smoking Cigarettes." Now I don't even smoke but I definately know what ya girl Tweet was feeling when she wrote that one. "Complain" is another one of my personal favorites. And also the album has several other club mood setters such as "Boogie 2Nite" and "Call Me", both will definately get you in the mood for a night out. I wasn't even about to write a review because several other reviewers already gave their well written opinions of this bound to be "classic." But I just had to put my piece in b/c this album is some good, real, pure music. Not that studio processed stuff that is coming out every week. Tweet is definately not just a passing fad. We all can relate to the s@#t that she has gone through or we will at some point in our lives. I just would like to thank her for sharing her life, talent, experiences, joys, and pains with us. Oh yeah, and this woman can really sing. As I said initially, this was a pleasant surprise for me. I am sure that you too will not be disappointed.
