Between Friends is the fourth studio album by Canadian R&B singer Tamia. Her first project under her own independent label, Plus One Music Group, founded after her departure from Elektra Records in 2004, it was first released in South Africa on May 12, 2006, followed by a worldwide release in the fourth quarter of 2006. A departure from her third studio album More, which included a diverse roster of collaborators, Tamia reteamed with frequent contributor Shep Crawford to work on most of the album, with its title referring to their working relationship and connection during the recording process. The album received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom praised Tamia's vocal talents and the range of tracks but found the material too generic and uneven. Upon its US release, Between Friends debuted and peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 200 and number nine on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, selling 18,000 copies in its first week. While it became her third consecutive top-ten album on the latter chart, it also marked Tamia's lowest-charting debut since her first album eight years prior as well as her lowest first week sales by then.
