Billboard review:

Beautiful, Loved & Blessed
TAMAR FEATURING PRINCE
Producer(s): Prince
Genre: R&B
Label: Universal (CD promo)

Prince protégé Tamar gets the royal treatment with her first Universal single. "Beautiful, Loved & Blessed" was written by the pair and features a vocal with Prince, who also produced and played all the instruments. The neo-soul joint offers a new age-y lyric: "When U found me/Was just a piece of clay/Was 4mless, U gave me a new name/With the breath of life/Now live abundantly." It also has an oddball melody that is at times creative and inspired, at others meandering and curiously sparse. Nice touches like an electric guitar and Tamar's versatile vocal style make this warrant repeated listening. But in today's radio world, this is not the song to launch a new artist. —Chuck Taylor

This is so bland. I really can't believe... Prince used to be music to me. Now everything he does sounds cheap and uninspired.

This has kind of grown on me. The hook is nonexistent, but the buildup towards the end is nice. It's definitely my favorite of the three new leaked Prince singles. It's the only one I've been hearing on the radio.

I didn't care for this song at first, but it has grown on me so much over the past couple of days. This is more of a summer single though.

IS this her song or is it Princes?

It's on Prince's album and it's Tamar's lead single. Tamar's album comes out after Prince's though.

Thank you.
