Teena Marie

I'm excited about today's music post. I love Teena Marie and have been looking forward to posting and enjoying her music. 

 

Jumping right into it...we'll start with Portuguese Love. I really love this song...wish there was live clip. I like this song because it sounds do unique and different from anything else in my playlist. I think it also has those key changes I can never get enough of in a song. Feels like a journey or like I'm traveling through the song. Idk if that makes sense. 

And then we have Square Biz. The most popular sample comes in the way of Missy Elliot. Yes, Miss Teena was that girl and she rapped and sang on her song and knocked both out the park. 

Aladdin's Lamp is one that is newer to me. It takes me am minute to get into it...it's like I forget the song and it's like I'm listening for the first time. But it never falls, I love it all over again..also it has more of those key changes I adore. She did it in a lot of her songs actually.

Work it is a classic. This is my first time seeing the music video. Her hair looks gorgeous! 

Ooh La La La is my absolutely favorite Teena Marie song. I just wish they would upload the actual live vocals instead of dubbing the track over a live vid. The lyrics, the vocals, the sax...I can't get enough of this song. 

Any time Rick James and Teena Marie collab you will have fire. This song is so funky. I LOVE it. 

Robbery was a newer one to me as well...I'm so glad I listened to her entire discography. This was exactly the type of music I was looking for. 

Next up, Lovergirl. Another love at first listen. Words cannot even begin to describe how much I adore this performance.

And last..but not least. Out On a Limb.  This song is often on my lips. It's another one I just LOVE.  I listen to the entire 6:38 and then press play so I hear it all again. That's love.

We love Lady T over here. Can't even put into words how much I love her music. Extreme talent, I recommend her music highly!
