The singer Tweet is back!! For us who loved that soulful voice from the 90's will be glad to know that not much has changed judging by her new single. (Attached below - Fyi: I had that bad boy on reply for a GOOD minute. Love it!) Tweet, also known has Charlene Keys, titled the new album Charlene and isn't trying to conform to any new musical trends but sticking to the formula that worked 10+ years ago. Whether or not that means she'll top the charts again or not isn't a concern Tweet has. She tells Essence Magazine, "I just want to put the album out and let God orchestrate it. I'll be fine."

Tweet talks more about the importance of God in her life now in an interview recounted on The Boombox.
Correction: Album is available February 26th

Judging by Tweet's comment, in Essence, she seems to agree. Your duty is simply to be obedient in using the gifts awarded to you, the results are out of your hand.
So if you've found yourself in a slump where life just doesn't seem to go your way. If you've lost the passion and motivation you once had to pursue your dreams. Don't beat yourself up about it. It happens. Simply ask God to send you your angel that will stir you up again and give you the motivation to live. As seen by Tweet, even if you're out for
