Tamia’s “Forever and a Day” Brings Louis York Into Her Next Chapter

Tamia wears a white jacket with her long, highlighted hair over her shoulders.

Tamia’s “Forever and a Day” gives R&B listeners a new place to begin the week. Released Friday, August 28, the single pairs the singer with Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony, whose Louis York partnership appears in the record’s production credits. The song is available on Apple Music and through its official distributor-supplied YouTube audio.

The recording runs four minutes and six seconds. Its YouTube credits name Tamia Marilyn Washington Hill, Kelly, and Charles Harmon as lyricists, with Kelly and Harmon also credited as composers. Chuck Harmony, Claude Kelly, and Louis York are listed as producers. The release carries a 2026 Plus 1 copyright notice.

That songwriting credit matters. Tamia is not simply the recognizable voice at the front of somebody else’s record; she is one of the people shaping this entry in her catalog. For an artist so closely associated with songs about intimacy and commitment, the collaboration is a reason to approach the single as a new chapter, not just a familiar name returning to a playlist.

Her history gives that chapter weight. Tamia’s official biography identifies her as a six-time Grammy nominee and traces a run that includes “You Put a Move On My Heart,” “Stranger in My House,” “Officially Missing You,” and “Beautiful Surprise.” Those records help explain why a fresh Tamia release belongs in the conversation alongside this weekend’s bigger album rollouts.

Apple Music’s artist biography places her breakthrough with Quincy Jones in 1995, followed by her self-titled debut in 1998 and “A Nu Day” in 2000. The new single arrives more than three decades after that introduction. Longevity is the context; the present-tense invitation is to hear what she is making now.
