TweetIt's Me Again Atlantic/Warner It took a lot of replaying with a wide open mind before I began to even somewhat warm to Tweet's 'It's Me Again', but even time couldn't turn up the heat. Over 15 tracks not once does Tweet go off. Where Do We Go From Here is a snooze, as is You, and many of the lyrics are laughable, such as Cab Ride: "Can you be my ride? / What's your fare? / Mister can you take me there?... / Taxi... / Take me to his home. I wanna give him all of me cause I'm alone". Another example of lyrical genius is Iceberg's "I slipped up and fell in love with an iceberg / How could you turn so cold? / You turned so cold / I gave you all I had, yes I did." Before I read the cover I thought, "who would bother to produce such rubbish?" But then I eyed the executive producer credit: none other than Missy Elliott! I'm unsure if "Misdemeanour" feels a strong loyalty to Tweet or if she is boosting her own ego with attempts to produce a star, but it certainly doesn't help the cause when Missy's two appearances on the album in Turn Da Lights Off and Things I Don't Mean outshine Tweet's performance throughout the whole record. Tweet simply mumbles her way through verses, endeavouring to rhyme with unfit phrases. Sport, Sex And Food is probably the greatest track, but primarily for its rhythm, not its lyrics. 'It's Me Again' is a disappointment and from the success of her debut album 'Southern Hummingbird', particularly the single Oops (Oh My), Tweet really should not have re-emerged until she could return with something at least half-decent.  |
