Beautiful Surprise is the fifth studio album by Canadian recording artist Tamia. It was released by her own label, Plus One Music Group on August 28, 2012 in the United States, with distribution handled by EMI and Capitol Records. Her first release since 2006's Between Friends following a longer hiatus during which she gave birth and raised her second daughter with husband Grant Hill, much of Beautiful Surprise was produced in the eight months leading up to the release of the album. A breakaway from her previous effort, Tamia consulted a wider range of musicians to work with her, including Claude Kelly, The Runners, duo Carvin & Ivan, Salaam Remi, and frequent collaborator Shep Crawford. Upon release, Beautiful Surprise received a generally mixed reception from music critics, who praised Tamia's vocal performances but found the material too generic. In the United States, it debuted at number 23 on US Billboard 200 and number six on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with first week sales of 13,000 copies.
