This week’s edition of ‘The Best You Never Heard’ serves up tracks from the likes of Fantasia, FDM, Mashonda and the Southern Hummingbird Tweet. You can drop me your suggestions for future installments at sam@thatgrapejuice.netFantasia – Two Weeks Notice
Though the success story from Fantasia’s underrated self-titled sophomore effort was undeniably ‘When I See You’, the album definitely boasted several equally as solid tracks. One of the standouts IMO is ‘Two Weeks Notice’. With its clever word-play, as well as Fantasia’s stellar vocal delivery, this stands as one of my favourite R&B songs from the last few years.
Listen: Two Weeks Notice

FDM – Playground
Listen: Blackout (ft. Nas)

Lifted from Tweet’s sophomore LP ‘It’s Me Again’, ‘Taxi’ serves as a reminder of the Southern Hummingbird’s oft under-appreciated appeal. In an industry filled with gimmicks and microwaveable hits, the soulful ‘Taxi’ highlights that there is still good music and genuine talent out there.

Your thoughts: Hit(s) or Miss(es)?
Gotta argee with you, Taxi was THE BEST SONG off Tweet’s ablum, was one of the only songs i listened to everytime i played it.
I remember hearing that”Playground” song in the background of a youtube video, and had to know who sang it. It’s a great fun song.
Two Week Notice is my jam!!!!
Two Weeks Notice is my damn SONG!
I’m still mad that it wasn’t a single, I think it would have been bigger than When I See You
i love playground and 2 weeks notice is my jam, “this is my two weeks notice….two weeks notice, and you aint treating me right iaight iaight” i love that joint
Fantasia made a BIG mistake not releasing Two Week Notice as a single, this and ‘Sunshine’ were my favourite tracks on her last album.
I LOVE “Taxi”… Tweet is my girl, hands-down. So overlooked, its sad. I was JUST playin that song last week, no lie!
And I def was feelin “Two Weeks Notice” more than “When I See You”… it was wittier. I need to work for the industry, let me help Fantasia & Tweet to help themselves… =)
I do love the songs, so def hits! BTW: love your site, keep doin your thing!
Two Weeks Notice is a great song, she should have came out with it on the radio, Mashonda’s Blackout is my jam too, idk why she didnt blow up like she should have..I have never heard the Taxi song but i really am feelin it
