R&B LEGEND TEENA MARIE TAKES THE ISLAND OF BERMUDA BY STORM: Lady T Stole The Show Once Again At 11th Annual Bermuda Music Festival
The incomparable vocal powerhouse, Teena Marie, is known for her tireless and universally acclaimed live performances and at the Bermuda Musical Festival this past week, she reminded audiences of all generations, why she is still one of the greatest musical talents of our time.
Teena Marie (the female Prince) performed several of her most popular songs and had the crowd dancing in the aisle with “Square Biz,” which has gone down in history naming Teena Marie as one of the “first female rappers”. Teena performed almost all her classic hits and also introduced the islands to her new music from the “Sapphire” album, which was released earlier this year on Universal/Cash Money Records.
“Sapphire” is the twelfth album from the effusive vocalist, who is regarded as one of the most influential R &B female singers of all times. The new album holds a special place in Teena Marie's heart for many reasons, but the most poignant reason for the singer is that many of the tracks were inspired by her friendship with the late Rick James, who is often credited with mentoring the multi-talented musician/vocalist/producer/arranger.
Other artists on her new CD include the legendary Smokey Robinson, Kurupt, George Duke, Gerald Albright, Lady Levi, and her 14-year-old daughter Alia Rose.
Teena Marie has a new single titled “Somebody Just Like You “ coming Winter 2006. Teena’s favorite songs on her new album are: Sapphire (Resilient) for Katrina victims, a duet performance with her daughter, Cruise Control featuring Smokey Robinson, Romantica (written for Rick James), Simmer Down, "Baby Who's Is It" and "Love Is A Gangster."
