Virgin 12277 (cassette single)
Quincy Jones’ latest protege will continue her ascension to
stardom with this percussive ballad from the soundtrack to
“Speed 2: Cruise Control.” She proves that all the hubbub is
worthwhile with a performance that seasons youthful verve with
the complex phrasing of a veteran. Producer Keith Thomas dresses
Tamia with keyboards that glisten and complement without
overpowering her--not that he could diminish her powerful pipes.
The original version is ripe for multiformat play, while Joe and
Jon Glass contribute remixes that are deftly designed to click
with R&B listeners.
