After busting back on the scene with Fabolous' INTO yOU, Tamia has come back witht this joint which is very shaky. It has it strengths but its weaknesses are even stronger and kinda overshadow.

ON MY WAY- Cool, breezy mid-tempo with a positive feel to it featuring Red Cafe and produced by Poke and Tone, this song really is nothing special. It sounds like other songs that I have heard before especially from the 90s. This is more like a filler, intro track. The song is ok but that is it. B+

MORE- Featuring Freck the Billionaire and produced by Poke and Tone and Spanador, this mid-tempo is a standard R&B track. It is definitely good but does nothing original or special. Tamia's voice fits the song well and the arrangement is on-point. B+

OFFICIALLY MISSING yOU- Produced by 7, this was the first single off the CD which made ends at Urban AC outlets and some Urban. I did not initially like the song mainly because I do not think it is a good lead, first single but it is a lovely song that really fits Tamia's voice. I heard this is a remake of an earlier song and it is good. Soft and calm. A

STILL- Produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan Michael Cox. If there is a song that has potential to crossover into various formats, this is the one. This is definitely the best song on the CD. Tamia's vocals are great and really fit the song. The arrangement is great and this slow but mid-tempo song has a good message of still loving someone after being together for such a long time. It is a refreshing song. A+

QUESTIONS- 2nd single which has made some gains on the charts. I really liked this song the first time I heard it but it has worn on me but it is a good song. It is definitely a slow jam that we have all heard time and time again but it is nice nonetheless. Produced by R Kelly. A

WHISPERS- Produced by Joshua Nile, this slow, Quiet Storm sounds like a song I heard before but I cannot place it. "Whispeer swweet nothings in my ear." The song which is in a higher key fits Tamia's vocals well. The song is one of those laidback, nightime, Midnight Love songs. A-

I'M yOURS LATELY- Produced by Poke and Tone and Spanador, it sounds alot like ON MY WAY in a way. It has that cool, highway feel to it but it sounds like one of those Pop/R&B joints from the late 90s and like most of the other faster songs on the disc, it is not innovative and is just plain unorignal. The chorus is kinda annoying. B

INTO yOU- The big hit featuring Fabolous and produced by CLUE and DURO that we have all heard time and time again. There is nothing to really say about this track. Beautiful song. A

SMILE- Produced by Babyface and it kinda sounds like a Babyface track. This slow song is very good actually. The song fits Tamia's high, pure and angelic vocals well. This is one of the better tracks that showcase her vocals well. A

POETRY- Probably one of the best songs on the CD. This more original and very creative song that talks about "making it like poetry" is produced by Joshua Nile and the Phantom. The song is very good from the arrangements to the vocals and everything just simply works. A new and nice spin on a song. A+

MR. COOL- Featuring Mario Winans and produced by him, this is one of the uptempo or faster tracks that work. Probably because of Winans' more original production. The song is fun, is lively and very positive talking about that Mr. or translated Mrs. Cool in whoever's life. Mario adds some depth to the song as well. A

THEY LONG TO BE CLOSE TO yOU- Produced by and featuring Gerald Levert (Edwin Nichols), this song is a remake of a song I never heard. Just like Luther's and Beyonce's remake, this one works unlike some others that do not. Both of their vocals complement one another and Gerald does not over sing or over power Tamia. One of those heartfelt duets that bring back many of the old school even to those like me who are not a part of the old school. A

WHY ASK WHY- Produced by Mario Winans, Mario shows that he is a strong and good producer. This slow jam that has an original quality and aspect to it with the whispers and the why the keyboard is programmed and the shimmers (hard to explain) makes this a good cut. A

TOMORROW- Produced by Shep Crawford, this Gospel song that talks about the fact that tomorrow is not promised shows that this girl has some chops and a love for God. I did not know that she could sing quite this well and she makes one feel the song. Check out the note she holds in the song. It is unbelievable. A+

The CD is stronger with the ballads and slower cuts. The biggest problem is the uptempo or faster songs that are too formulaic and too 90s sounding thanks to Poke and Tone. Mario Winans lends two of the better tracks to the CD. R Kelly does well as does Jermaine Dupri and Cox on STILL. Tamia is a great vocalist with an impressive range, a very pure and natural soprano. The CD is good but she needs that killer material that fully shows her range and personality from slow to fast cuts. That is what is missing. What is Tamia's personality. I did not find one throughout the 14 tracks. The CD is good but Tamia gotta take us to that next level now. This is the 3rd one and she needs more producers like Kelly and Mario to do it. POETRY a new and creative track shows us a deeper and different side of Tamia. This is a nice CD save the few missteps.

TAMIA HAS ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL VOICES IN R&B MUSIC.HER ALBUMS ARE GREAT. I GIVE HER 1ST ALBUM 3.5 AND HER SECOND ALBUM 5 STARS ALSO THE NEW ALBUM "MORE". MORE IS GREAT I ENJOY ALL THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM. TAMIA NEEDS MORE PROMOTION AND PEOPLE BEHIND HER. SHE SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE ASHANTI HER VOCAL RANGE IS ALOT MORE RANGERY THAN HER'S. SO STOP WRITING BULLSH*T REVIEWS AND LISTEN TO THE ALBUM!!!

Tamia is an artist that is overshadowed by other female singers, like Beyonce, Ashanti, and Alicia Keys. Tamia, perhaps best known for singing the hook on Fabolous's hit single or for singing 3 songs has the opening act on the Ladies First Tour, needs to be way more popular for her vocal ability. She can sing better or equal to those previously mentioned. Her album is good, but after song 15, which she tears up, leaves you wanting more of her amazing sounds. Stand out tracks: 1,2,6,13. Number 7 is a song that is way to short. At first you are groovin' to and then it cuts off. If you are lookin' for an album with a mixture of ballads and club bangers, then you should get this album.

I absolutely love Tamia but I feel that she's not getting the attention she deserves. She is a great singer and I am not disappointed with her latest CD "More". Of course, no one is going to like every single song that a singer puts on his/her CD (I'm Yours Lately & More) but overall, I love this CD! I listen to it every single day! I feel that she needs more exposure than what she's getting. I guess because she's not gyrating all over the place (like Beyonce and Ashanti), she's never going to be that popular singer. But if people would actually judge a person by singing abilities, she'd be another J-Lo (who can't carry a tune in a bucket...how is it that she keeps coming out with CDs???) But anyway, overall Tamia's CD "More" is a great listen.

I was skeptical about purchasing this cd at first, but I am truly happy that I did. Not only do I enjoy the cd, but my significant other as well and that's rare. It keeps your attention with the club tracks MORE and MR. COOL; and the sensual ballads like STILL, WHISPERS, AND WHY ASK WHY. I think the cd is a must have in your collection!!!!!

To relax after a long day at work or to get the party started before you hit the club, this CD is all encompassing. I have been waiting for Tamia to make this transition and give her music to everybody and this time SHE HAS. Her beautiful, melodic voice dictates that she can cross these boundaries with ease and she has done it....WELL. Go pick this-up you will NOT be disappointed

Wow, what a comeback!! Elektra finally did it right this time. The Cd opens up with On my way, a nice dance piece. I'm glad Officially Missing You is still on the album, very beautiful song. I feel all the songs are really good showcasing Tamia's beautiful voice, especially in More, Into You, & Close to You. She closes out with the remake of Tomorrow by the Winans which is really nice. This album is a must have!!

After hearing this long long long awaited album from tamia... Ill say its worth the cash!!! She was diagnosed with MS and now they say its dissappeared... god bless her!!!

I heard her in concert last nite in NJ.. this is one very talented woman... shes definitly got a pair of lungs.. and she sounds the same live or on disc. Pick up this cd.. if ur a tamia fan.. i doubt you'll be disappointed! For the new fans .. take a listen ... and SEE HER IN CONCERT!!!

I wasn't the biggest fan of the other CDs but this CD is the best Grant Hill has a very talented and beautiful wife. This CD is the best she has had. She brings her voice to a whole different level. This CD just goes to show that there are still great artist out there. The music is so soulful and just moves you. I expect great things from this CD. You should have this CD in your collection. It is a repeat CD not just a one time through CD.

I'm scrolling through and readin the reviews and i cant help but to come across a couple negative reviews...what exactly were y'all listening to? I'm not sure y'all were "listening" at all. This album was no doubt INCREDIBLE!!! They're songs that you just dont "listen to"; not with just your ears...but songs you have to listen with your heart; there's a big difference. Tamia's "More" is another fine example to prove that she still has that spark that made us fall in love with her from "Tamia" Though she slacked a tad bit on a "Nu Day" she redeemed herself on this album.

Luvables: Officially Missing You, Still, I'm yours lately,mr.cool...just to name a few...they are all hott!!

Worth every Penny...2 BIG TOES UP!!

Big Upz Tamia!!
