NEW TWEET PROMO PHOTOS

new tweet promos new tweet promo (3) new tweet promo (2)

Our girl Tweet just released some new promotional photos via her myspace page and they came out dope. The southern hummingbird’s new album, “Love Tweet” is slated for a Summer ’08 release..

So with Love, Tweet , this acclaimed vocalist takes us back to Southern Hummingbird where her first hit was a risqué song about self-love. This love-based album, however, addresses a new plethora of love from an artist who has had her “eyes opened.” “Whether you fall in or out of love, the question of do I want to fall in love again,” Tweet addresses on her favorite song on the album, “Love Again.” It’s phenomenal,” she says, comparing it to Diana Ross’ “Do You Know…” but more sultry.

And then on the Novel-produced “Anymore,” she addresses the feelings after a break-up when you change and come to realize, “I don’t love you anymore.” [URBAN HOOPLA via BRE MAGAZINE]
