Transcription

Background

"Tears of Joy" was composed and produced by Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony.[1] Evans described the song as "a great timeless R&B record" which puts her "in the mind of Gladys Knight meets Aretha Franklin.”[2] In an interview with CBS Local, she further elaborated that it took social networking service Twitter for her to arrange a collaboration with Kelly. In fact, it was "Kelly who tweeted months ago: ‘Somebody tell Faith Evans I love her I want to work with her’,” she explained. “Two weeks later, we were in the studio and he played me this song and I’m like, 'Oh my god this is amazing I need this record'.”[3] Speaking of its Grammy appeal, Evans commented, "Normally I wouldn’t say this, but I think I should be nominated. It feels funny saying that about myself. But my first single is just one of those songs. If I’m not nominated, the song writer Claude Kelly should be."[2]

Critical reception

Mark Edward Nero from About.com was impressed with the song. He wrote that "Tears of Joy" was "a soaring reflection on how a good, positive relationship is truly something to be celebrated. The song [...] is a reminder of how great a singer Faith can be when she's fully engaged in her work and not just going through the motions, like she's done at times in the past!.[4] SoulCulture found that Evans' "voice sounds pretty damn divine on “Tears of Joy” – a soul-filled, emotional piano-led ballad."[5]
