(9/18/02, 12 p.m. ET) -- The year just got better for Missy Elliott/Timbaland protege Tweet, who is on the cover of Honey magazine, and enjoying being a poster girl for Gap, Levis, and Verizon Wireless. She recently wrote a song for Whitney Houston's album Just Whitney, due out on November 5 on Arista Records.
Tweet explained the song to LAUNCH, "It's called 'Serenade,' and it's about you being in love with somebody so much that they do a lot for you, but it's the words that they say to you. And you're telling them, 'Say something to serenade my heart.'"
Tweet added that she had an opportunity to be in the studio with Houston as she recorded the song. "Just being in the studio with Whitney Houston was just a moment for me. And then to have her say she wanted to do my song and just to see her face to face is like, I had to just gawk. I had to realize that me, coming from a small town, and then finally doing something that I dreamed of, and then, on top of that, doing something with someone that I wanted to be. It's just a blessing."
A spokesperson for Houston could not confirm the track listing for Just Whitney at press time.
Tweet released her debut album, Southern Hummingbird, in April on Elektra Entertainment, and her new single "Smoking Cigarettes" is impacting at radio. She is planning to begin working on her sophomore set in November.
