Details: Amazon.caTamia’s sophomore effort begins with the singer’s crisp, angelic voice a capella, 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 Elliot brings her production skills to the table on the album’s first single, « Can’t Go For That » (Elliot also produces four other cuts), it’s as if the tune’s running on automatic, with all of Elliot’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, and manages 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. ChanProduct DescriptionThe second release from Tamia that features the song « Can’t Go For That » written by Missy Elliott and features Snoop Dogg on the remix.
