4.0 out of 5 stars Great Debut, February 10, 2003

By	Alexis (Virginia) - See all my reviews

I really enjoyed this debut album by Tamia. She has a really pretty voice and knows how to use it well. There were only a few tracks on the CD that didn't strike me as great.

1.Imagination (4/5) This was the first real single off the album. It's a cute song with a nice beat.
2. So Into You (5/5) This is my absolute favorite song on the CD. It is such a pretty song and Tamia sings it well.
3. Never Gonna Let You Go (2/5) I didn't really care for this song.
4. Falling For You (3/5) The song is cute, I just don't like the sample.
5. Show Me Love (2/5) I didn't care for this song, either
6. Rain on Me (4/5) This is a song that sets off some emotions
7. Is That You (3/5) This song is okay. JD tries to liven it up some
8. Who Do You Tell (5/5) This is a really pretty song about a newly found love
9. Gotta Move On (4/5) Good song
10. This Time it's Love (4/5) Nice love song similar to #8
11. Loving You Still (4/5) I really enjoyed this song
12. Careless Whsiper (5/5) A remake of George Michael's song, it's incredible
13. You Put a Move on My Heart (5/5) This is my second favorite song

Even though this CD came out over four years ago, it will be a valuable addition to any CD collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising Debut, December 15, 1999

By	"megaa18" (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

Tamia is probably the best overlooked artist out right now. Her debut CD is incredible. She has a beautiful voice and a lot of talent. I'm waitng for her second album to come out next your. Some great songs on the CD are "So Into You", "Rain On Me", "Who Do You Tell", and "You Put a Move on My Heart."

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best things about the 90's!, February 13, 2001

By	Krusty Fan (Miami) - See all my reviews

Tamia, Tamia, Tamia! What a voice. Like others, I was hooked from the first note I heard her sing on 'You Put a Move ...'. I thought the same thing as when I first heard Toni Braxton on 'Love Shoulda Brought You Home': "WOW, this is the next big star!".

I bought this album the day it came out and have listened to frequently to this day. This is exactly the music I love to listen to the most. This album has everything I like: r&b rhythms, a great soulful voice, and songs worth listening to, the opposite of what is on urban radio in recent years.

With two exceptions, this album is flawless. Flaw 1, the rapper on Imagination -- weak rap, thin voice, too explicit. Flaw 2, the seventh track, 'Is that you?' -- again too explicit, it takes away from the classiness of the other songs.

It is a very well produce album that suits her beautiful voice perfectly. The producers used arrangements that fit the song rather than the 'sound of the day'. From the accoustic guitar that opens 'So Into You', to the rainstorm in 'Rain on Me', to the long fade out on 'You Put a Move...", each song has its own personality but still sounds part of the same album. Her voice is expressive and smooth like Gladys Knight's. Some of these tracks remind me of Ms. Knight's ballads from the early 70's in sound.

The range of her voice and the quality of the arrangement on 'You Put a Move..." still amazes me. On 'Falling For You' she sings the song over the music to the Emotion's "Best of My Love" and it works great.

My favorite tracks are #2 'So Into You' (mid-tempo, crisp production), #8 'Who Do You Tell', #10 'This Time It's Love', and of course, #13, 'You Put a Move on My Heart, 3 ballads.

If soulful, sultry R&B is what you like, this album won't disappoint you.
