The feel good factor is boosted on 'Boogie 2 Nite', a Lucy Pearl inspired song where a repetitive funky guitar riff sets off the party vibe. 'I can't forget your ways I still remember our first kiss, now I'm nervous and trembling smoking cigarettes at night&.' Whilst 'Drunk' further explores the use of intoxicants in a tense, atmospheric track which finds the singer broken and alone with only the aid of alcohol for company. Multi-layered vocals, a sexy snare drum support a personal shout out to the wonderment of cigarette smoking as a coping mechanism.
'Smoking Cigarettes' is a lush, laid back affair in the tradition of bluesy 70's soul. Rescued in the nick of time by long-time friend Missy Elliot, Tweet was presented with the opportunity to sing backing vocals on her album - the break that was needed to enter into the nepotistic and guarded world of the music industry. Both served as an autocue for her suicide contemplation in the form of taking a lethal dosage of pills. A sour romance, swiftly followed by a stint in an unsuccessful girl group led to broken promises and personal heartache. Tweet's life story to date is the stuff of bio-pics.
