Description: Tamia's sophomore effort begins with the singer's crisp, angelic voice a cappella, wrapped around a mournful interlude about a relationship gone awry. It's a gorgeous intro, and put there perhaps to remind listeners that the 24-year-old vocalist from Windsor, Canada, can sing like nobody's business when given the opportunity. Unfortunately, most of the tracks on A Nu Day deny Tamia the chance, with ho-hum, practically rote R&B fare produced, surprisingly, by some of the best in the biz. When Missy Elliott brings her production skills to the table on the album's first single, "Can't Go for That" (Elliott also produces four other cuts), it's as if the tune is running on automatic, with all of Elliott's stop-start, jerk-heavy rhythms running listlessly beneath a sample of the Hall and Oates song of the same name. "Tell Me Who," a collaboration with producer Shep Crawford, fares better, managing to capture a sassy, straight-up feel reminiscent of early En Vogue. The album offers a pleasant surprise, however, with a cover of the 1983 DeBarge tune, "Love Me in a Special Way," on which Tamia works wonders, her sonorous mezzo soprano digging soulfully into the soaring melody. --Sylvia W. Chan

Reviews:

3 1/2 Stars

Unfortunately the cd I'm reveiwing is a download version of Tamia's "A Nu Day" which is alot better than the original. I love this cd and Tamia's voice is banging and her songs are produced by Missy Elliott, Shep Crawford, & Dallas Austins wich r top Producers but they kinda lack on the songs which I'd expeted to be more better.

Really Disappointed

What makes the album bearable? Tamia's lovely vocals, her ability to belt out a track is a thing of beauty. She is no doubt my favorite singer right now.



Why is this album bad? The production. The over producing or lack there of, take your pick, really brought Tamia down. Only two songs stand out, "Stranger In My House", which isn't all that great and the remake "Love Me In A Special Way", which makes every other song on this album sound elementary.



Maybe it was high hopes, after all, I loved her self titled debut, and been in love with her since "You Put A Move On My Heart" dropped in '95. "Nu Day", is a definate pass.

TAMIA IS YOUR BEST!!!!

ALL THE TRACKS ARE GOOD
