Product Description

Teedra Moses's debut has an undeniably winning charm in itssubtle, after-hours ambience. Steering well clear of the vocal gymnastics of many of her peers, Moses instead relies onthe natural pleading quality that's inherent in her voice. The production, courtesy of Roots producer Paul Poli, never overwhelms, allowing Moses to float enigmatically through a set of songs that range from the relaxed, world-wise "No More Tears" to the poppy title track. The singer performs the seductive boudoir symphony of "Rescue Me", and then conjures Alicia Keys amidst the luxuriant string arrangement of "TakeMe", a duet with Raphael Saadiq. Moses is capable of stronger stuff, too--"Outta My Head" is a bass-heavy dance-floor stomper that references the 1960s hit of the same name, while"Caution" proves that she knows both how to evoke '80s souland make it her own.

Customer Reviews

Hot RnB singer
If you love music, if you like RnB, this girl from New Orleans has produced some really hot tracks.

A lot of albums out there have maybe one or two good tracks, the rest being fillers, but this one is not one of those: they are all great tracks and some of them are just too hot to be missed.

Great music!

Sophisticated
This lady has such a beautiful voice and real talent. She can do so much more than simply sing the songs, this album WILL captivate you! The sound is sophisticated and stylish R&B...Its difficult to compare to any other female artists because she is in a league of her own, and she writes from the heart. The tracks aren't just mindless lyrics that you get in some very commercial r&b...Honestly Teedra Moses won't disapoint you. It all sounds very fresh and clean, the slower tempo tracks are smooth and soulful. They give you a picture of the kind of old school jazz, gospel and soul that she must have listened to as she grew up. The faster tracks will get you moving and feeling good but the beats don't grate at you or give you headaches (as some music can) lol...

BEST TRACKS
Complex Simplicity
Backstroke
Take Me
You'll Never Find (A Better Woman)

But to be honest all the tracks are amazing!
If you dont buy anything else but Teedra Moses this year, you would have made a very good choice!!
Happy listening!!!

Teedra Moses...all that's needed!
It was my little sister who made me listen to Be Your Girl back in 2004 and i was immediately hooked. The looks, the silky smooth voice and the hot video turned me on to one of the freshest sounds of 2004 (the other being Afrodisiac).
Like Brandy, Teedra has a unique voice, that delivers all her songs perfectly...

Although the album is all hott!, my favourite tracks are:

1} Caution (My absolute favourite tracks on this album. Banging beats and lyrics with attitude.

2} Be Your Girl (The debut single and proves what Teedra can offer.

3} Complex Simplicity (Thoughtful and imaginative song. Keeps you hooked from start to finish.

4} You Better Tell Her (Attitude from start to finish)

5} Backstroke (Sexy and soulful)

5} Caught Up

If you haven't bought this already, then i strongly recommend that you do. It's one of the 2 best albums released in 2004, and from a truly underrated star. She's reminiscent to my absolute favourite star of all time, Aaliyah.
