Reviews:

Good Southerners that they are, Missy Elliott and Timbaland know how to get the best out of the journeypeople they mentor. (As a singular presence who falls into no archetype aside from "guys who can't rap," Magoo doesn't count.) Did anybody really expect to hear from Bubba Sparxxx, Petey Pablo or Tweet ever again? Well, maybe, but did we expect them to do anything memorable again? Yet not only has each done just that, save Bubba they've done it without topping themselves. And just as Pablo's Still Writin' in My Diary: 2nd Entry was titled to remind us who this dude who'd been away three years was, Tweet calls her new album It's Me Again.

Here's the good news: the title is accurate. As 2002's Southern Butterfly demonstrated, Tweet's got charm and pipes, Tim and Missy make sure she's got beats, and the songwriting isn't terrible. But it's usually not great, either, and this disc doesn't have an "Oops (Oh My)" to buoy it-though the best stuff, like "Iceberg" and "Things I Don't Mean," is up to the better non-"Oops" songs from the debut. Which means Tweet's appeal is slight, but it's no lesser for that.
