Southern Hummingbird by Tweet

Pros: Four songs are really good and show off Tweet's lovely voice
Cons: The rest of the album is bland and overproduced.

I have to be honest. Lately, R&B has been kind of disappointing to me. Tweet is definitely one of those disappointments. Blessed with some smooth and appealing pipes I was hoping her album would be something to hail. Instead it’s looking like...

Pros: There are a few good songs.
Cons: There's only a few.

Tweet is the newest artist coming from the Missy Elliot & Timbaland camp, supposedly an heir to the Aaliyah throne, there are obvious elements of Aaliyah’s “sound” and “style” within this album. However, if you were hoping for...

Pros: Can I get back to you on that?
Cons: Oh boy, this should be a doozy...

The Main Idea: In 2002, Charlene "Tweet" Keys, a protégé of hip-hop superproducers Timbaland and Missy Elliott, released her debut album, Southern Hummingbird. The record actually garnered quite a bit of critical acclaim, though I can't fi ...

Pros: Tweet’s amazing, soulful vocals; excellent production; interesting concepts
Cons: Got overlooked because that Sideburn Karaoke Queen stole her release date

I think one problem with the music industry nowadays is that artists get pigeonholed too easy nowadays. True, every artist desires to have that one massive hit. The hit single that takes them all across the board and allows them to reach a wide range of ...

Pros: She boasts a decent set of pipes, and exhibits the different textures to her voice.
Cons: It's a CD in search of a focus.

"Southern Hummingbird", is the long awaited debut of the artist known as, Tweet. The jury is still out as to whether it was worth the wait.

The opening, an intro, "So much to say", is a short chronicle of a woman contemplating suicide. And...

Pros: Tweet’s classic R&B 80’s feel voice shines on this mellow album; simple production
Cons: Not many upbeat or party tracks; album has no flow to it

Was Oops (Oh My) annoying to you? Not to worry!

I first heard about Tweet while trying to figure out who the new female vocalist was on some of Missy’s songs on her latest release So Addictive… and saw her in the video...

Pros: hot timbaland beats, great acoustic guitar, bonus tracks
Cons: none

I just purchased "Southern Hummingbird" by Tweet, and after 4 months of anticipation, i'm defiantly not let down. The CD is a great mix of old school Motown jams, raw soul/folk, and cutting-edge hip-hop. The Missy and Timbaland protégé starts her 17 song...

Pros: vocals, great soul music and dance songs
Cons: not enough to make this album not worth buying

if you're into mediocre artists with one-dimensional voices, cliche lyrics and absolutely NO stage presence, then Ashanti is releasing a new christmas album for you! jus playin, but fo' real this album has none of those things. what it does have is ...

Pros: a lot of variety,Tweet's vocals,quality music
Cons: the Neptunes song

Introduction

Well,kids,I'm going to try something new.I am going to try and shorten my review down,for both our benefits.If you like them the other way,e-mail me.Or if you like them like this,e-mail me.Either way,I want some...

Pros: She writes her own music and she's unique.
Cons: So-so songs and it has no feel in it.

Tweet is Missy's and Timbaland's prodeche' but that's what we thought.When I heard her on the song Take Away I thought she was ok.When I heard Oops (O My) then I liked her a little more.Then we got her CD and can I say I was very dissapointed.I'll let U...

Pros: this is for those who can really feel what tweet has to say
Cons: a couple of songs that could have been left out

i am so thoroughly disappointed by the negative reviews that tweet has received here. i guess its the difference between listening to music just for the sake of listening to music and actually desiring to hear something meaningful. One reviewer mentioned...

Pros: Easy Listening
Cons: More effort from producers would have been nice

I'm enjoying her album immensely. Tweet sings along the same line as Rose Norwalt from the 70's R&B group Rose Royce. I'm enjoying her silky easy voice. I see big things for her.

This is the kind of album I would listen to on a warm sunny...

Pros: Tweet's lovely voice and clever lyrics.
Cons: Some of the tracks are slightly overproduced.

I must admit that was not going to purchase this CD because I am NOT a fan of Missy Elliott and her whole slew of "digitally styled music". Someone told me that Tweet's CD was not what she expected and for me to give it a try. I consider myself a music...
