While she was initially presented to the world as a protege of Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and Timbaland, Charlene "Tweet" Keys immediately proved herself no mere follower, with the delectable and diverse debut SOUTHERN HUMMINGBIRD. On IT'S ME AGAIN, Tweet confirms her independence with a remarkably adventurous record that is smoothly seductive and giddily fun at the same time. Here Tweet creates clever, original, and moving songs that straddle the line somewhere between neo-soul and modern mainstream R&B, wrapping her sweet-and-sultry voice around each tune with wicked effect. And, of course, having Elliott's able, artful production on most songs certainly doesn't hurt.
After the intro track, IT'S ME AGAIN cuts to the impressive single "Turn Da Lights Out," featuring wispy vocals backed by a captivating, crackling vinyl backdrop. Hip-hop, jazz, and R&B are mixed flawlessly on "Could It Be," a darkly beautiful ballad sung with Rell. On "You," Tweet drops wildly inventive lines of heartbreak over a breakbeat interpolation of Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" for a starkly inventive and thoroughly catchy song. By then, it's clear that Tweet is not your ordinary R&B chanteuse, and IT'S ME AGAIN is definitely not your ordinary record.

The beats are hot, she sounds great with the beats, even though her first CD a little better, but this CD is worth your every penny.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Her voice + old school sound = platinum hits
This is definitely the type of album where you have to sit and really listen to the words more than once. Even though I am a Tweet fan, at the beginning I was disappointed until I sat down and listened to songs 1-9 closely one day and 10-16 the next day and realized this is some good old school sound. I love Cab Ride and believe that if that was the first single, the album really would have took off. I love Tweet and for her next album I really hope she does a song that is really an attention grabber so that more people will go album and look for this album.
