One of the main things that's always made Tweet a distinctive presence in R&B is that, unlike many other female vocalists, she makes no attempt to sing as forcefully as possible.
So it's surprising that for this EP, Tweet chose to cover a song by a lady who has perhaps the biggest, boldest voice of all time: Aretha Franklin. Impressively, Tweet's version of 'Day Dreaming' compares favourably to the original; her subtle, emotive vocal style perfectly fits the romantic lyrics, and the production values are ahead of those of the '70s version.
Tweet also shines brilliantly on the closing track, a heartbreak song called 'Enough'. On the tune, she calmly lays out her case for calling it quits and manages to come across as weary, but resigned to the fact that the relationship must end.
It's going a little far to say the EP was worth the huge (eight year) wait. But it certainly satisfies the itch to hear new material from her.
