 (23 Customer Reviews)
Teedra Moses's debut has an undeniably winning charm in its subtle, after-hours ambience. Steering well clear of the vocal gymnastics of many of her peers, Moses instead relies on the 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 "Take Me," 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 soul and make it her own.

Complex Simplicity Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews I waited...
I waited for her debut after hearing her on Saadiq's "Chic" in 2003. Her album came out and I must've been sleep because I didn't know! I just picked up this electrifying, let it ride from beginning to end CD and it was well worth the wait. 3 1/2 stars

 A Wonderful Singer
Teedra Moses is such a talented singer who mixes Hip Hop, R&B, with a little Jazz. Her voice is very soothing and will relax you from a hard day at work. I really recommend people who are thinking about buying her cd to not think twice and buy it. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

 TEEDRA MOSES REVIEW
I enjoyed listening to this album.

Classy !!
Agree with everything Jayboy said. One of the best LP's of 2004 along with Van Hunt and Saadiq's. There's a song for everyone on this as it covers a lot of ground from club to sultry, Jazz tinged to straight up soul. I hope her next release will be in the same vein. Buy this!!!!!!!!!

Teedra moses album is one of the best albums of the year. There is only one track that i am not keen on, but the rest of the tracks are great. Anyone that is into neo soul, soul, R&B and even hip hop, will appreciate this album. Teedra has a great voice and this album is a must for any album collection.
