Tamia ... is not bad as a singer. But she doesn't have the goods ... to really cut it.

Packed with light, sugary sounds that underplay her powerful voice.

Has a problem that's common with a lot of debut albums these days: The artist lacks identity.

Tamia's sweet voice has a strength that's adequate at times, but inadequate at others.

Effortless probably best describes the way Tamia moves from the ballads to the uptempo tracks.
