Can't Go For That (Feat. 213)

Tamia's sophomore release, A Nu Day, is a wonderful taprestry. This album is more than pop hooks, peel back a ballad and you find drama. Tamia reveals the character of this CD with the first tune, "Dear John". The first single released from this 12 song disk, "Can't Go for That" is an interpolation of the Darrell Hall and John Oates hit, Tamia's version was written and co-produced by none other than Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott. In fact no less than five songs sport the work of Tamia's friend Missy Elliott. After a great start, Tamia gets stronger and more spirited as the music flows on. When you get to "Stranger in My House" (my favorite) you're in love with her great voice and engaging style. The songstress continues with 6 more wonderful exhibitions, finishing strongly with a remix of "Can't Go For That" featuring 213, the west side rap giant Snoop Dogg supported by some of the Dogg Pound Crew.

The Canadian born songstress had a lot to live up to, she'd received three Grammy nominations before she released her first self titled album, then she got another Grammy nomination! Check out "A Nu Day", Tamia has done it again!
