'Passion Play' is the only Teena Marie album that I've never heard! It was released independently and got very little attention/airplay.Is it worth hunting down?
"365"  'It Must Be Magic' is one of her BEST albums! | |

"365" 'It Must Be Magic' is one of her BEST albums!I think it is...it's not "Irons in the Fire" , or "It Must be Magic", but I do like a lot of the tracks... but you're right, it got very little distribution, and went out of print surprisingly fast.... ...

365.
This song is one of my all time favorites. I cant even describe how much I love it. I love the lyrical arrangement. I love Melvin's deep voice "Is yo love aliiive?" The tune stands out as a funky jazzy fun fruitful tune with sass and a great chorus. The instruments sound soft and the live pianos add a classic 'live at the house of blues' feel to it. I imagine Teena singing on top of a piano and dancing in a little room witha red dress on. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

It usually means the material is sub-par. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

Yeah,I recall an interview where Teena mentioned that she was very disappointed/frustrated with the entire experience (releasing an album independently).The CD wasn't distributed properly.I'm gona go find me a copy.I always wanted to hear this album. | |

That's a bad sign when you have have a lot of guest appearances on your album. It usually means the material is sub-par. I'm wondering if this is record company pressure--they always seem to push the guest artist thing, especially when older, established acts try to put out something new.... ...

Well, this is where I wish these artist would stand up for themselves and say, NO!. Tina has been in the business long enough to say something. Sorry to bring him up, but I don't think they would say, this to Prince. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

Maybe this will express what I been goin' through
...hope for V. Andy. Next? You Baby is for her daughter and I am sprung on it. Ear Candy is growing on me quick, despite the early 80's cheeky-ness. http://www.giantstep.net/releases/2332 Look out!
