Features of La Dona

Product description Marie,Teena ~ La Dona Amazon.com After a decades absence, Teena Marie returns as Cash Moneys Godmother. On this evidence, her reign as La Dona should be as sweet as when she was known as Lady T. At nearly 80 minutes, the CD sprawls with the fervor of something once pent-up; surprisingly, it really doesnt feel overlong. Teena Marie has barely lost a step, either as a vocalist or as the original thinker who won over audiences back in the day. Makavelli Never Lied is a tribute to the erotic power of music that namechecks everyone from the title to , while My Bodys Hungry, Baby Im Your Fiend, and duets with and old cohort are a touch more direct in acknowledging the bedroom side of the equation. Elsewhere, she cops to a dancehall influence (Recycle Hate to Love) and brings a tribute to daughter Alia Rose (High Yellow Girl). La Dona is one of the years most welcome releases--and not only because its good to have an old friend back on wax. --Rickey Wright
