Tamia - Stranger In My House (2000)



Yes, it was big back in 2000 and hardly surprising. But when good is excellent then excellent deserves a feature. So, in case you forgot about this one or just plain missed it back then when we entered the new millennium now's the time to put it right. Tamia has been active since the mid 90s when she was featured on the Quincy Jones release You Put A Move On My Heart. Her first eponymous album Tamia (1998) was released although she had had releases alongside other illustrious Soul performers like Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Babyface, Barry White and  The Wu Tang Clan. Since that debut albums she has released a further  five, the last Beautiful Surprise in 2012.

As always it's paramount to listen to the lyrics and the story they express. Then really you have to decide does the performance match the content. I've always thought it did. Why not write a comment. Opinion is always free. 




  When love falls apart, with the suggestion of infidelity happening, has not been  portrayed bettered than with these lyrics. A great song superbly performed. Not one for the dance floor but then not all good Soul music was meant for dancing. Sometimes it's better for reflection and for the soul.

The down side is the video. Given the sensuous, highly erotic portrayal by Tamia you have to wonder what moron would want to cheat on her???? Or am I missing something here?

And now for something completely deeper...
From 2008. The lyrics are everything.



Hmmm. Guaranteed to make you think. interesting interpretation of  very interesting lyrics.
