Her strongest seller yet, A Nu Day sold over 665,000 copies in the United States and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It included the singles " Can't Go for That" and " Stranger in My House," the latter of which reached number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it her highest-charting single to date. Chiefly produced by Shep Crawford and Missy Elliott, the album entered the top ten on Billboard 's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. After a transition to Elektra Records, Tamia released her second album A Nu Day in 2000. In the United States, Tamia sold 416,000 copies in total. The album was certified gold in Japan in June 1998 for 100,000 copies shipped to stores.
From the five singles that were released from the album, " Imagination" and " So into You" reached the top forty of Billboard Hot 100. The album took her work further into the contemporary R&B and hip hop genres but became a moderate commercial success, peaking at number sixty-seven on the US Billboard 200 chart and entered the top twenty of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Signed to Jones's Qwest Records, Tamia's self-titled debut album was released in 1998. The song, along with their second collaboration " Slow Jams" and " Missing You", a song she recorded with Brandy, Gladys Knight, and Chaka Khan for the soundtrack of the 1996 motion picture Set It Off, was later nominated for a Grammy Award.
Selected as the album's first single, their collaboration " You Put a Move on My Heart" became a top 20 success on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. She began her career in 1995 as a protégé of musician Quincy Jones, who offered her the chance to appear on his album Q's Jook Joint (1995). Canadian singer and songwriter Tamia has released nine albums (including seven studio albums, one extended play, and one compilation albums), and twenty-six singles (including four as a featured artist and one charity singles).
