"Considering I don't have a television show or anything else like that pushing the music, this is definitely a testament to R&B and its fans," Tamia says of her project's success. "Fans are out there supporting the music."
The success is even sweeter, given the fact that Beautiful Surprise is Tamia's first project on her own label, Plus 1 Music Group, distributed by Capitol/EMI.
Besides Remi, Tamia tapped producers the Runners, Luke Laird and frequent collaborator Shep Crawford to help work on the album. In addition to co-writing most of the songs, she doubled as executive producer with Claude Kelly marking the first time the pair worked together.
"Tamia is what I like to call a 'dark horse' in terms of singers," Kelly says. "Somewhere in between her albums, people get amnesia about how amazing she is. People are starving for strong, melodic R&B songs that cater to their experiences. That, coupled with Tamia's refreshing voice, reminds them of why they fell in love with her in the first place."
Tamia joins R.Kelly on his "Single Ladies" tour on Oct. 13 and will circle the globe for 22-dates
"Between the girls, Grant, the album and touring, trying to be Everywoman takes a lot of work. But I'm blessed to still be making records."
