Naked To The World album Product Description
Naked To The World album by Teena Marie was released Mar 22, 1988 on the Epic label. Teena Marie's popularity had decreased by 1988, when she found herself competing with considerably less talented Prince clones, Madonna wannabes, and Paula Abdul sound-alikes. But she managed to have both a hit album and an artistic triumph in Naked to the World, which found her taking a more high-tech, contemporary-sounding (by 1988 standards) approach to production without abandoning the classic soul and funk elements that made her so appealing to begin with. Naked To The World CD music Among the treasures: the unapologetically sentimental, early-'70s ballad "Ooo La La La" (which proudly proclaims its allegiance to soul music's golden era, with references to Bloodstone's "Natural High" and Al Green's "Let's Stay Together"), the addictively funky "Work It," and the sassy, clever "Trick Bag." The sparks usually flew when Lady T formed a duet with Rick James, and the sweaty "Call Me (I Got Yo Number)" and the ballad "The Once and Future Dream" are no exceptions.

| A true to the meaning: icon Teena Marie was, and still is, the bomb. No human, male or female, could ever come close to her style, lyrics,and music passion. To me, LTEE, was clearly in a class all by herself. Nowadays, everyone in the entertainment business is dubbed icon, even the new artist. TEENA MARIE was and is a true to the meaning: icon. Whats saddens me was the fact that the main street radio media never gave her a chance to express her renouned qualities. They were too busy classifying her as racist. I am a male Hispanic and TEENA had me in 1983, with her Robbery LP. Then and thereafter, I was hook, line and sanker baby - ever since. You can imagine, I was floored and saddened on that fateful day after Christmas. I know in my knower, that she loved the Lord. I hope her daughter carries her mom's torch. Yet, if she does not, I can understand. God Bless. -rbenitez By rose_september (San Antonio, TX) This review is for a different format. |
