    "Tambourine" is a hip hop song by American rapper Eve, released as a singlein2007 and becoming Eve's first charting single as a lead performer in over four years. Written by herself, Sean Garrett, and Swizz Beatz, and produced by the latter, the song samples the 1974 song, "Blow Your Whistle" by The Soul Searchers.[2] In the week of April 19, 2007, the song debuted at number 73 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it continued to gain momentum.[2]

    In the United Kingdom, "Tambourine" debuted at number 38, two weeks before the song's physical release. The song peaked at number 18 in the country and was her fifth consecutive top twenty solo hit in the UK. The B-side to "Tambourine" is "Dancefloor" featuring Mashonda. The song features uncredited vocals by the song's producer Swizz Beatz (he is not credited as a featured performer). The song was number 68 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007,[3] and was also #70 on MTV Asia's list of Top 100 Hits of 2007.[4]

    Music video

    [edit]

    The music video directed by Melina Matsoukas premiered on the night of May 24, 2007, after Eve's episode of BET's Access Granted which featured the making of the video. Eve stated that she wanted the scenes in the video to be colorful. Swizz Beatz and Ya Boy make cameos in the video. The video starts off with four maids dancing and knocking on Eve's door. Upon entering, they begin to shower Eve with things, which she rejects, then they start dancing while imitating a tambourine. Then the video cuts to Eve tanning and getting ready for a party. Throughout the video, Swizz Beatz can be seen in passing. Then Eve gets into a car driven by Swizz Beatz, and they arrive at a party where there is dancing and a woman spitting out beer. The music video was nominated for Best Choreography at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.
