Yeah though ppl do love this song...it wasnt really promoted by radio unless it was like tom joyner or something....I.hate that. I remwmber when I requested Brandys song with chris brown(brandy wanted ppl to have exclusive of the song) and was told flat out NO.....THEN a month later its on as if thwy discovered gold....smh
People throw the word "underrated" around way too much. I don't know how old you are but when Tamia hit the music scene in the 90s she was clearly deemed as a songstress and revered in the music industry. She may not have hit the level of achievement like Anita Baker but she was not underrated. This song will hit with the old school R&B heads like myself but the new generation of R&B music doesn't sound like this and will not appeal to the younger R&B listeners today.
MaMa Katt ,that's where I first heard it ,in my car and I was like wait I know that voice I put it on blast and that's not something I do . So glad this beautiful talented woman is back. Add inspiring.
@@wmranson9311 No that's untrue she can get an Unsung episode just like any other artist who's hay day has not come but they agreed to do unsung, she has not agreed to do unsung so that's why she don't have one.
If Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Taylor Swift or any body else for that matter would have sung this song they would still be talking about it today! Tamia is a Queen of RnB in her own right! She is low key about her life and profession and doesn't need to be applauded throughout her success like the others. They stop hearing their name and they panic! Got to do something to get the world's attention! Tamia doesn't need that cliche!👸🏽🌹
R&B at its finest. Tamia understands the assignment. This song is what represents the key to a great song. Thank you, Tamia, for your brilliant song that keeps Soul Music Alive. 🎶 🎵 🕺 💃
or the old milli vanilli beats just listen to girl you know it's, p.m. dawn set adrift on memory bliss or eric b and rakim who all use the same sample.
Travel a teeny tiny bit further back in time. Feel that late 80s rhythm from "Keep On Moving" by Soul II Soul (1989). Add in some "Paid in Full" by Eric B and Rakhim (1988). To your point about the 90s groove you can most definitely feel that "Optimistic" by Sounds of Blackness (1991).
@Yvonne Atsu You are almost right on point. You're feeling that rhythm and beat from "Keep On Moving" by Soul II Soul (1989). Add in some "Paid in Full" by Eric B and Rakhim (1988). That 90s groove comes into play with "Optimistic" by Sounds of Blackness (1991).
Danielle Moses lol yes when they said her name on the radio I said wow there’s another singer named tamia 🤔. Well now I’m shocked it’s actually her🤗. Love the song but it doesn’t sound like her 😳.
@@crystalr6895 NO. She put on weight and has been Battling Multiple Sclerosis for a while now. *Not Everyone who looks different had Work Done.* MOST are either sick, going through something, Aged and/Or put on weight. *_Tamia Aged, put on Weight and is on Medication Battling Multiple Sclerosis._* It's like no one can age and lose Or gain weight without being accused of Surgery Or procedures.
Thank you TAMIA!!! This grown n sexy joint is on repeat while I sip a glass of wine and grove to that smooth, soulful sound. Soooo refreshing...🎶Leave it Smokin🎵🎵
She makes me feel so royal and beautiful. I’ve been in love with Tamia since I was 16. I have been waiting a long time for her to come back out. She is a real Goddess.
I wouldn't call an artist like her underated.. women like her have made a mark, in the industry, and continue to give from their soul, whether the world, gave them their roses, or not ❤️.. but I understand, what people mean 💙
Real r&b? Neo r&b to those who were around in the 50s and 60s when r&b had guts, not the insipid version on offer today. Different strokes for different folks...
One of the most underrated songs in history. This is one of those songs where the song when she made it didn't hit but the next generation is going to revive it. The next generation is going to leave it smoking for you TAMIA. 🔥
how is it different from what I wrote earlier. Bottom line, we understood what he/she was trying to say. If you are that smart, you would have noticed that I subtly corrected @ Warrior1975ify. I must not go that route you went. Be respectful, he or she communicated that's the bottom line
@Koriander Yander LMAO 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 It's from a meme that says "when you think makeup lit on the boat ride but then you see your pic on Lime.tt the next day". Everytime I see this meme in my phone I can't help but laugh.
It's GOOD to see her BACK!!! I like the fact that WE NEVER HEAR any kind of MESS about her and GRANT HILL. She has a SOLID MARRIAGE and is a good person. She is definitely UNDERRATED!!! This single is FIRE as well!
Thank God !! Thank you TAMIA for making quality music .. and putting out your beautiful voice ... We are needing more such things from the artist by name. Thank you kisses * DJ GUTO # 1 RnB in * BRAZIL
I'm so happy to see Tamia is back! She sounds great and she's dressed tastefully in this video. Tamia you rock! Congratulations on having this hit song!

Love this song
Agreed. Chanté Moore is also another incredible singer that is underrated in my opinion.

She should get an Unsung episode, so underrated.
I agree! Tamia is an amazing artist and all of her albums are good to great too
I totally AGREE! She can sing her face off!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤
Kind gesture but Tamia is still relevant. An unsung story is for artist that have passed their heyday.
Yess my Girl
@@wmranson9311
No that's untrue she can get an Unsung episode just like any other artist who's hay day has not come but they agreed to do unsung, she has not agreed to do unsung so that's why she don't have one.
A much needed break from the watered down crap on the radio. Tamia brings us the “real”. Definitely for grown folks.
Fire fire !!!🔥🔥
This is for everyone Loco. Legends like this deserve it
I guess this is crap since I found this via radio 😐

No bad single from Tamia.

I have to agree. This is an extremely underrated jam. This is a sho nuff groove. Vocals, bassline...everything.
Well, I m from New York but I stay in Alabama, they played the heck out of " leave it Smoking" down here and I was loving the " heck" out of it!!!
the production makes me think of Living Single I know im not the only 1 lol

People always receive her no matter how long she is gone👌🏾TIMELESS TALENT
After heard it today love her singing
Stranger in my house is a classic by her. Glad she's still at it. This one's an instant classic.
I love this song 🎵 ❤️ I can listen to this song every day and night keep it smoking She is bad and so is her band.
Tamia is one of the few female R&B artists that made it out alive after Beyoncé demolished all of the female acts in the 2000's
She left this track smoking 🔥
No BS❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
She surely did!!😂
I liked this the first time I heard it.
Me too....great song

Loving this song!!! Has the 90's vibe with a hint of 2018. Adore her😍😍😍
90's vibe all day😁😁😁😁😁
Travel a teeny tiny bit further back in time.
Feel that late 80s rhythm from "Keep On Moving" by Soul II Soul (1989). Add in some "Paid in Full" by Eric B and Rakhim (1988).
To your point about the 90s groove you can most definitely feel that "Optimistic" by Sounds of Blackness (1991).
Hell Yea
Has a Soul II Soul vibe that I love. Tamia is A1 since Day 1!!
She's so dope 💜
Underrated joint - deserves more Airplay and recognition by the masses
This song is like butter. Keep thinking it’s a song from the 90s. Tamia with her talent!
@Yvonne Atsu You are almost right on point.
You're feeling that rhythm and beat from "Keep On Moving" by Soul II Soul (1989).
Add in some "Paid in Full" by Eric B and Rakhim (1988).
That 90s groove comes into play with "Optimistic" by Sounds of Blackness (1991).
Yvonne Atsu it does have that vibe and tempo...
This grown folks music right here!!!🔥🔥😍👌🏾
Ffffffdddxcc
Finally some grown folk r&b. She acting her age, still beautiful and classy. You go , girl!

Classic jam, Tamia is so underrated and gifted. Do your thing Tamia
So under-rated!! I love this!
The club concept worked for the 90s vibe of this song...it takes me back to a video from back then. Real laid back and simple.
Exactly, I miss videos like that from back in the 80s, 90s, and early 00s.
Exactly
Yup I though the same

Why do people say this every time she drops an album?...she drops one every two years like they did back in the day...
Tamia!!!Still around and killing it..Go head own wit yo bad self sista...LEAVE US SMOKIN 😎
What I love about Tamia, is she keeps it R&B. Even when she draws influence from other genres, she stays true to who she is as an artist.
Most dont comprehend what she's sayin " leave it smokin" 😈🔥
