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.
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 Submitted by rbscott23 (Lawton, Oklahoma) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
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.

Teedra Moses - from obscurity to limelight Teedra Moses debut album is 5 star material from beginning to the end! I took a chance on this cd because quite frankly I never heard of Teedra Moses, poor marketing and little airplay, but this lady is classy and can sign like hell!

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!!!!!!!!!
