She’s so gorgeous but that cover is kind of drag-ish.

I need less Adele lite track and more tracks such as "Leave It Smokin". I could do without.
And I like "Today I Do" more than "Deeper".
I hope this album doesn't turn out like "Beautiful Surprise" where I only care for the lead single. Her last album was great.

I feel the exact same way (and lol you made me edit one of my posts from yesterday where I totally forgot about the 2015 album which had some jams ). I'm worried this is going to be like Beautiful Surprise where the lead single was a great R&B song and the rest was boring pop adult contemporary schlock.

I loved both of her last albums, Beautiful Surprise and Love Life, but I'm not feeling any of the three songs released from this. They all suck and I can't recall another case in recent times where an artist I favor so much released such a tedious string of singles.

Keep in mind she was back to recording with her budget, not Def Jam’s. Let’s just hope these piano ballads are the outliers on the album.

I think the piano ballads are more her than most of her last album with Def jam.

I guess she couldn't decide on what style to go with, so she wore them all...

Remind me of Alicia at the Grammy 2002 lol. When she wore jeans with a dress, tacky tacky, but I still love you, Tamia.

She looks a fool. Her stylist has been very much a miss lately.

She looked like a clown on the red carpet. That performance ensemble was MUCH better, though, I loved it.

Shoot. I don't know why I waited, as it seems all her VIP passes to a lot of cities have already sold out. =(

Another extremely solid effort. Her albums have been amazing since going independent.

This is a mix of the two previous albums but leaning more towards Love Life - it's like 40% AC 60% urban - but regardless, the thing is it's so, so ho-hum. Good God. I couldn't even finish most songs. It's basically like she was given really bad, generic leftovers by other artists and put together this new album.

I agree. “Leave It Smokin” is the only one that hooks me. The rest is middle of the road paint by numbers Urban AC music.

If I Had to Choose Leave It Smokin' It's Yours Stay Better
This definitely sounds like an eOne project while Love Life felt like a major label project. I wish Salaam and Shep had handled the majority of the production because their work is of a higher quality compared to Lil' Ronnie's.

The love for this about the same I had for Love Life. It’s a very solid effort, but nothing that just blows me away. That’s not bad IMO. I love Tamia. I think my fav project from her will always be Between Friends.

What the hell is this album? I'm so disappointed.
The one bop ("When the Sun Comes Up") has terrible lyrics and phrasing. This record reminds me of Keyshia Cole's Point of No Return where the songs sounded like drunken freestyles.
"Tell Me How" is cute but they made it sound so cheap! "Better" is the only song up to par with "Leave it Smokin" quality wise.
