Thank God. I was going to avoid buying her records if she did more with Cash Broke, er, Money.

This is a good move for Teena

I agree. Although La Dona wasnt that bad...I liked a good 6 six songs from that cd.

Here's the link to the interview Teena did with Michael Baisden on March 6, 2009 for those of you who want to hear it. Sorry, but he only put a snippet of the song, "You, Baby" on the Podcast.

Looking forward to her new CD.

I liked sapphire too although it was ballad heavy. I think stax is an
excellent fit for teena. I hope teena will at least give us a little funk
on this one.

She finally left Cash Money?

Thought so. That scene and the movie was funny as hell.
Bboy gon have to fight hard to top that gif.

phunkdaddy said:

Oh I'm sure he has something...

I'm glad Teena needs to go back to her roots and do real music with real instruments none of the watered down R&B sound today.

She is one of the few leading old school R&B artists still keeping it real and she needs to show this new generation how it is done.

That's all I needed to hear to turn me off. Next.

I love she so much.

I can't wait. I love me some Lady T.

Other than the snippet has anyone heard the new songs?

So how was it?

Sorry, for the typo! It's the week of April 6, 2009. It's good to laugh, so I'm glad it didn't take much to amuse you...

This is very good news, I've been waiting patiently since 'Sapphire' which was a great album, not as good as 'La Dona' IMO, but still good, I'm sooooo glad she left Cash Money, they had no idea how to promote her music, both of her Cash Money releases could have had more singles hit the air waves, I don' think they had a clue what to do with an artist of her caliber. They only seem to care about Lil' Wayne right now, for reasons that are beyond me, but whatever.

I can't wait for the album.

I'm not so sure about this. I was rather disappointed with the quality of the Stax offerrings from Lalah Hathaway and Angie Stone. I'm not sure if Teena will be able to do any better.

I like the two Cash Money albums.Yeah,each one had a few embarassing tracks,but there were enough good songs to keep me happy.Still,the new deal with Stax sounds promising.It may inspire Teena to come out with something really soulful and "Old School" sounding...like a return to her early 80s funk sound.

I thought they were both good. You really have to be a good listener
to dig lalah sometimes. Her music very seldom is for the dance floor.
Her music is usually to relax and chill to. Angie had the better offering
although a few of the songs sounded similar. Her cd was definitely made
for the bedroom.
