Live Video of the Day: "Still" (Tamia)

Over two years ago while promoting her then latest album Beautiful Surprise, Tamia stopped by SiriusXM's Heart & Soul and performed a stirring rendition of "Still," which was rerecorded for her album.

With that said, watch Tamia's powerhouse performance of "Still" below and if you haven't checked out her new album Love Life (2015), it's a sublime body of work and worth a listen!

Second Listen: "Still" (Tamia)

Tamia's country rendition of "Still" still goes hard in my books and is one of the most underrated joints from 2012. While we only heard the title-track, "Beautiful Surprise" and "Give Me You" from Tamia's latest LP,  I  really wanted this rendition of "Still" to be released from Beautiful Surprise, as it is the standout track besides "Beautiful Surprise on the album.

Updated from the song she originally recorded with Jermaine Dupri and released on her album 2004 album "More," Tamia and Claude Kelly teamed up for this rerecorded rendition which found the famed singer recording it in roughly three takes. Instead of piecing her takes together, Tamia performed "Still" with the musicians simultaneously and took the best take. Take a second listen below to this country tinged rendition of "Still," which appears on Beautiful Surprise and support this sistah buy picking up a copy of her new album Love Life.

Podcast: "The BackBeat Ep. 1: Got 2 Be Real"

After a few months of my friend Kyera asking me to do a podcast with her on music, we finally sat down yesterday and made our first episode. It might be a little rough around the edges but we had fun with it and I thought I would share it with you all.

Michelle's response to Jaguar Wright, Azealia Banks, Lil Mama's new video for "Sausage," Erica Campbell's "I Luh God," #BeyonceAlwaysOnBeat, A$AP Rocky's ALLA LP, anticipation for Tamia's new album and much more.

Second Listen: "Can't Get Enough" (Tamia)

As Tamia gets ready to release her sixth album Love Life in a few weeks, I am reminded of her joint "Can't Get Enough," which was the lead single from her 2006 fourth album Between Friends.

Produced by Rodney Jerkins, "Can't Get Enough" would go onto peak at #7 on the Billboard Hot Adult R&B Airplay charts and helped reintroduce Tamia to the marketplace on her own independent terms. With that said, take a second listen to "Can't Get Enough" below and Enjoy!

New Joint: "Stuck With Me" (Tamia)

While Tamia released the lead single from her highly anticipated forthcoming album Love Life earlier this year, Tamia is once again back with a new single with "Stuck With Me." A slow-burning smooth quiet storm jam, Tamia's seductive vocals paired with Plow Da Don's production equal a sensual offering that should quickly move itself up the Adult R&B charts in my opinion.

With that said, take a few minutes out of your day and listen to "Stuck With Me" below and lookout for her forthcoming album Love Life when it drops next month on June 9th!

New Video: "Sandwich And A Soda" (Tamia)

After releasing her "comeback" single a few months ago with "Sandwich And A Soda," Tamia is back with the sizzling video for the lead single off of her forthcoming sixth studio album Love Life, which is slated for release on June 9th via Def Jam.

Featuring the beautiful Tamia in a pair of cutoff jean shorts, Tamia strolls around this southern dirty road town and hangs at the local cantina as she coos effortlessly her latest single "Sandwich And A Soda."

Live Clip: "O Canada" (Tamia)

Earlier tonight before the NBA All-Star Game kicked off, Tamia performed a riveting rendition of of the Canadian National Anthem "O Canada" and reminds us all how true talent stands the test of time as well as has people like me asking, where is Tamia's next studio project as it's been a minute since 2012's Beautiful Surprise.

With that said, watch Tamia's sublime performance of "O Canada" below and enjoy the holiday weekend!

Amazing Cover: "Crazy" (Tamia)

Tamia's country-tinged rendition of "Still" on her latest release Beautiful Surprise was just the potential tip of the iceberg of Tamia "crossing into" country music as a phenomenal cover of the Patsy Cline classic "Crazy" has hit the net via the Grammy's ReImagined series.

As Tamia is between albums after releasing her fifth studio album Beautiful Surprise back in 2012, I am reminded of her joint "Can't Get Enough," which was the lead single from her 2006 fourth album Between Friends.

Produced by Rodney Jerkins, "Can't Get Enough" would go onto peak at #7 on the Billboard Hot Adult R&B Airplay charts and help reintroduce Tamia to the marketplace on her own independent terms. With that said, take a  second listen to "Can't Get Enough" below and Enjoy!

Mashup: "Beautiful Change" (Tamia)

Yesterday on Twitter, I discovered this brilliant mashup of Tamia's semi-recent hit single "Beautiful Surprise" with Musiq Soulchild's "Don't Change." Entitled "Beautiful Change," AudioSavage gave Tamia's "Beautiful Surprise" the slow jam/ballad treatment, transforming her solid mid-tempo banger into a touching heartfelt ballad.

Utilizing Tamia's vocals from "Beautiful Surprise" and transposing them over Musiq Soulchild's classic cut "Don't Change," AudioSavage really changes up the vibe and feel of "Beautiful Surprise" transforming it into the brilliant Beautiful Change."

Live Video of the Day: "Can't Get Enough" (Tamia)

Back in 2006, Tamia released her sublime LP Between Friends and the lead single from the project was her infectious hit and instant bedroom classic "Can't Get Enough," which I am sure is still in heavy rotation for a lot of folks out there.

With that said, while Tamia was promoting her album, she hit up MSN's Sympatico to perform a flawless acoustic set that included a riveting performance of "Can't Get Enough." While there was a rumored live album in the works following Between Friends, it has yet to materialize and hopefully we will get one sooner rather than later because it's about time we get these live vocals on record.
