░░
░░ A soulful, Canadian-born R&B singer and songwriter, Tamia got an early
░░ start in the music industry singing "You Put a Move on My Heart," the
░░ first single from Quincy Jones' 1994 hit album Q's Jook Joint, when she
░░ was only a teenager. The song earned a Grammy nomination and paved the
░░ way for her 1998 self-titled debut.
░░
░░ She followed with several successful albums for Elektra, including 2000's
░░ "A Nu Day", and 2004's More. Along the way, she scored hits like
░░ "Imagination", "So Into You", and "Stranger In My House", the latter of
░░ which hit number three on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and number
░░ one on the Dance Club Songs chart. In 2012, she earned her fifth and
░░ sixth Grammy nominations for her album Beautiful Surprise.
░░
░░ Canadian-born chanteuse Tamia's second album, "A Nu Day", is a nice
░░ pop-R&B record that doesn't set off to break much new ground. She has
░░ more of a traditional singer's voice (a la Vanessa Williams) than the
░░ guttural growls of many of her day's R&B contemporaries. That said, this
░░ album provides for a pleasurable and unchallenging listening experience.
░░ As was the norm for that day and age, the album contains its share of
░░ man-dissing tunes, notably the two openers, "Dear John" and the set's
░░ first single, "Can't Go for That", which is also offered as the set's
░░ closer, in remix form, sampling the Hall & Oats hit from which it's
░░ inspired.
░░
░░ There's also an adequate cover of the old DeBarge hit "Love Me in a
░░ Special Way." Some of the set's strongest material, however, includes
░░ funkier tunes penned by Dallas Austin, "Go," and Missy Elliott ("Wanna
░░ Be," arguably the set's biggest highlight). Dubious offerings include
░░ "Un'h--to You," which may sound somewhat funky, but the over-sexed lyrics
░░ come off sounding more awkward than legitimate (imagine Vanessa Williams
░░ singing about 'finding her spot').
░░
░░ Another song, "Long Distance Love", tries awkwardly to make poetry out of
░░ lyrics that include the words "AT&T", "Bell Atlantic", and "Sprint", with
░░ awkward commercial-sounding results that only serve to date and cheapen
░░ this otherwise engaging set. Regardless, Tamia's voice is a pleasure to
░░ the ear, and the set boasts its share of strong songs. Other notables
░░ include "Stranger In My House" (the second single) and "If I Were You".
