[edit] Milk & Honey

Támar's debut album, Milk & Honey was originally to be titled Beautiful, Loved and Blessed, but was later renamed after one of the other tracks. The album appears to feature significant input by Prince: many of the song titles employ his style of abreviations. Milk & Honey was originally set to be released on May 5, 2006, but has gone through a few delays. June 13 and August 29 were rumored release dates as well, however these have both passed and there currently is NO release date for this title, even though a few promotional singles have been issued.

[edit] Mini-tour with Prince

In March, 2006, Támar was supported by Prince with an ensemble of session musicians and performed a number of small club concerts in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Miami to promote her upcoming album. The concerts included cuts from her Milk & Honey album, as well as cover versions of such artists as Mary J. Blige and Aretha Franklin. Prince fans were also treated to him performing rare tunes during her costume changes, including "Anotherloverholenyohead", "Partyman" and "Calhoun Square" (from Crystal Ball). Also of interest was the full complement doing a cover of Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" with Prince playing the synthesiser solo from the original recording on the guitar. The concerts were approx. 90 minutes in length. Bootlegs are currently in circulation of some (if not all) of these concerts.
