Tamia’s publicist Michelle Huff has confirmed this week that the singer will release her new album ‘Beautiful Surprise’ in February. The lead single from the upcoming project is scheduled for the end of the year. With 2011 nearing its conclusion, I have to say that the year totally failed me with music releases.

Not to say it was entirely bad but 2012 looks to be a much better year. I’m really excited about the new Tamia album. As many of my long term readers would know, Tamia is one of my favourite R&B artists. She has yet to fail me musically and I’ve shamelessly been a stan for the past 13 years now. For good reason.
