The troubled performer who once contemplated suicide and sang "I'll be sure to meet you with no panties on" on her 2002 debut, Southern Hummingbird, is looking at life from a different perspective.

Tweet's upcoming album, It's Me Again, features a spirited duet with her daughter, Tashana, called "The Two of Us," and other similarly upbeat cuts. "It's not as dark as the first one," Tweet said of the album, set to drop in June. "It's a happier way of saying what's going on in my life right now."

The singer is currently in Los Angeles mastering the 17-track album. It will feature production by the singer herself, Missy Elliott (who worked on Southern Hummingbird), Nissan Stewart, Craig Brockman and the Vidal and Dre team. Guest stars include Missy, who recorded vocals for "Mr. DJ," while Free, co-host of the BET program "106 & Park," appears on the dancey, mid-tempo "Shook Up," which is being considered for the first single.

Other songs include "Taxi," which borrows the eponymous TV show's theme music; "Football Love," a track about her football-playing ex-boyfriend; and "Things I Don't Mean."

Tweet began work on the album last summer and has recorded in Los Angeles, New York and Miami.

Tweet has a daugther? I just guess I think that Tweet is a lot younger than she is (she is in her thrities, right?). Anyway, I look forward to the album but it already sounds like it is going to be Ahsanti-ish. Who are these new producers? And do we really need more BET hosts adding their vocals to anything? I'm just a bit worried.
