Details: Product Description Missy Eliott and Timbaland present Tweet, the newest addition to Missy's Goldmind Records and the first new star of 2002. A multidimensional singer, songwriter, musician and producer, Tweet beguiles with a blend of old school soul and new school hip-hop attitude, and moves into funky new territory that knocks down artistic boundaries in every direction. 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. Whether you love powerful singing and emotionally honest songwriting, or just good beats and a good time, Tweet gives you something to connect with. Certified Gold by the RIAA. (4/02) Amazon.ca Tweet's Southern Hummingbird is the classic showbiz story: an overnight sensation 10 years in the making. The sultry singer/songwriter travelled a long and twisted path to success, one that brought her in contact with , 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 co-production. 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 , though many would describe her as a female . 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 Levine
