Since the March single release of Tamara's single "Oh Well," (voted traxsource.com's Best of 2007 Top 100 Singles ) the songstress has been been busy performing and finishing up the recording of her much-anticipated full LP release. In 2007 Tamara enjoyed success after the "Oh Well" release with performances throughout Washington DC (Mirrors, LIV), New Jersey and Detroit (DEMF), and New York. The single was also featured on the Grammy Award winning DJ, Roger Sanchez Release Yourself Volume 6 Dance Compilation CD and is a play list favorite among numerous djs/podcasts and mix cds. The Bahsonik Remix has proven itself to be a dance floor mainstay among club goers throughout the East Coast region. Tamara's follow-up, "Like Rain" was released this April with mixes by Jihad Muhammad and Nomumbah. This single is "truly on that other level in terms of groove and being motivational, think Soul II Soul meets Jazzanova while hanging out in Brazil and... ” (the Runoff Groove).
