Good for her. Bad for me, I won't be in the house. I'll have to try to catch a replay. Thanks for the heads up.

I heard her segment on the show streaming on Smiley's website:

http://www.tavistalks.com...21506.html

...apparently her album is now called "World Premiere" and supposedly some of the songs she did with Prince for "Milk & Honey" will be on it (I'm guessing the 3 songs she offered for download via Burn Lounge, maybe BL&B as well) along with the new material with Kwame and some other producers she named. Still no word of a record deal or when it would be out, though.

Wow, what a great interview.

Unlike some people who speculated, I'm not sensing any bad vibes between her and Prince. It seemed he was really into her knowing the ins and outs of the business and giving her a lot of encouragement, and she expresses a heartfelt appreciation of that.

Great Interview, Tamar is very impressive. And her success will be a testimate to Princes genius, I bet he even made the call to get Tamar on Tavis's show on the low. He's sitting back and watching Tamar use the schooling he gave and use it the correct way.

See there...and folks around here thought Prince dumped her like last week's garbage. I for one am glad to know there's no ill-will between them and I wish Tamar all the success and happiness she deserves.

Her new songs are lousy though.

Bland, generic R&B. By the numbers 'Beyonce' routine.

I'll buy it for the 'Milk & Honey' songs though. It'd better be heavy on them.

I listened to the interview. Her song "Round and Round" is getting lot of plays, it's over 12,000 plays now, and "So Long" has over 6,000 plays. I'd say that's pretty darn good.

^^I also don't think Prince would have Tamar's Tavis Smiley interview on his site 3121.com site if they weren't on good terms. biggrin

There's always two sides to every story...Not saying they are on bad terms (I don't know either personally), but just because she says so, doesn't necessarily mean it's true. I'm skeptical b/c if they are on such good terms

1. why isn't her Milk & Honey album coming out?
2. why isn't she performing on a Wednesday night at 3121 Vegas?


seems suspicious to me...

Thank you for post Redflag. smile Beautiful interview. smile
God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is

NewMr7 said:

Prince dropped Tamar.

Then Universal dropped Tamar.

Now Tamar makes bland, Beyonce-wannabee R&B tracks for a few hundred people to listen to on her Myspace page.


NewMr7 said:

Tamar's new songs leave me cold.

Predictably, generic R&B seems to be her 'new' direction.

Seriously, any average soul singer could have sang those tracks. The production is wannabee Beyonce ... .

Truly awful.

It was not so much bad vibes, as no vibes at all. He just stopped referring to her or involving her over-night - that can't have been good. Still, I am very surprised about this link on 3121.com.

Milk&Honey isnt comin out because Tamar has a new album called World Premiere. It would also seem that Tamar is not after Prince fans perse' so her not performing in Vegas is no big deal.

If u listen to the interview Tavis says in the beginning that Tamar landed a PRODUCTION deal at 14. Maybee that deal lead to the producing of Milk&Honey.

Even if they did seperate on bad terms, the evidence shows that Tamar owns all her songs and can do whateva she pleases with them

It's a very positive interview. She speaks highly of him in it and sounds content.

Or is it the other way around? Maybe World Premier is coming out because Milk & Honey got scrapped when she & Prince parted ways. hmmm I doubt Esthero, J'Davey, and Goapele are "after" Prince's fanbase either but they played Vegas because Prince's name carries clout. I know you are friends with Tamar, and I'm not hating by any means; it's just that no matter what way you look at it things don't quite add up...there is a missing piece of the puzzle.


I actually haven't had a chance to listen to the interview b/c I'm at work...hopefully I'll be able to do that tonight. I prefered what I heard of Milk & Honey, so I'm bummed that it's not coming out; especially since the new stuff is kinda bland, imho.

This is her best interview yet and I'm glad things are working out for her. Whether they parted on good terms or not seems to be water under the bridge since there's a link to the interview on 3121.com. Tavis says that he and Prince are friends so I wouldn't be surprised if a phone call was made on Tamar's behalf.

I prefer Milk and Honey to the new material but appealing to a younger audience is probably better for her career at this point. A lot of Prince fans went out of their way to hate on this talented sista so a new direction may work out better for her in the long run.

Wishing you much success Ms. Tay Tay. thumbs up!
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

I dont think its the other way around because she still using songs from Milk&Honey on World Premier, If the label(Universal) or Prince had the power to shelve the M&H then how can Tamar sell 3 songs off M&H thru burnlounge???

Esthero, J'Davey, and Goapele arent labled as "prince protege" at least i dont think they are. You cant compare them to Tamar.

Basically i agree with babynoz 100% everything may not add up buts its water under the bridge.

Are you STALKING me? biggrin

Seriously, I liked the 'Milk & Honey' material, but was very dissapointed at her new material. I was joined to her MySpace page, which is where I heard them.

Apologies, if I have been a little 'vitrolic', but why Tamar now has to sound like every other conveyor-belt R&B starlet is beyond me. Thus the comments you have seen.
