Teedra Moses

that is the second tribe called quest song i've ever heard and it's good!

could someone rehost the mixtape somewhere else than zshare? it's like the worst filehost available, it just wont let me download the album

lol

new interview http://youknowigotsoul.com/?p=12489

LOVE HER

“Get Free” – This is a record I did a long time ago maybe in 2005 but I’ve always loved the song and wanted people to hear it, but I had been holding it for so long for my album. Things change and my perspective has changed, it’s not that it’s changed, but more that I’ve grown. So I just wanted to let that go because that’s not an emotion that I hold onto anymore.

<3

omg i just noticed the "you better tell her" / "all n my grill" connection

five years too late but whatever

haha look what else i found

aha

the cdq must be out there

what was the awesome solo single she had out over the summer that i heard on the radio exactly once?

"r u 4 real" was released as an official single on itunes the other week - on the black moses music label, which i'm guessing is her own?

seems just as likely to have been something off the mixtape though, idk

i found something purporting to be the trina/teedra...in .ram format which, what even is that. it won't play on my laptop but if anyone wants to have a go at converting it, http://www.sendspace.com/file/nvy22u

ah this was what i heard on the radio over the summer:

lex if you just want an mp3 then converting the youtube vid gives fairly decent quality

the mixtape fell by the wayside for me somewhat tbh but prompted by ships it's sounding good now. teedz knows the dealio though:

Perfect? I don’t even know what that is, but I just really want it to stand out to me. That’s the hardest part, getting me on board like everything is good. "I almost didn’t put out Luxurious underGrind because I was like, ‘Ughhh, this is just not good enough,’ but I had to step away from it and go back and listen to it and say ‘No, no, this is good, let’s go!’ So that’s kind of how I have to do it sometimes, but I’m not trying to be perfect. I don’t think there is such a thing.

also haha how did she get into forbes...?

video for "another luvr". SUCH A BAD BITCH

why can't wale fuck off though

i need those sunglasses

teedra moses is so beautiful it's almost o_O

otm

it's the way she carries herself too. i want to be teedra moses when i grow up

This track is amazing, why have I not been paying more attention to this woman?

Um. So the Euro edition of Complex Simplicity had a Truth Hurts/Raphael Saadiq featuring remix of Be Your Girl that samples Juicy Fruit?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktVPwHZ2DnA

Was this something we all knew about except me?

yup, always loved that - feels like a quiet, understated triumph in contrast to the original's pleading neediness. the UK album also had this excellent song on it, if anyone's not heard it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbfYmwgVb8g

Both of these tracks are news to me, but I'm always learning things from ILM.

Both amazing obv.

along the lines of 'still your girl' there was also this exactly what you'd expect but still dece mix of 'you'll never find' interpolating 'everybody loves the sunshine'

kinda dressed itself as a bootleg but as tvt themselves put it out on the low i would suspect it's canon

this link to a mix it's in still works:

probably already said all of that sometime upthread but hey, ilm baby

maybe some of you didnt hear this either so

just lookin at discogs i'd forgotten ne-yo had a hand in a lot of complex simplicity before he'd got big

makes excellent sense obv

did not know that! is he credited for anything besides 'vocal arrangement' per wiki? seems like such a lost opportunity that he hasn't gone back and worked with teedra more since then

http://www.discogs.com/Teedra-Moses-Complex-Simplicity/release/3292414

not per discogs - do have the cd in a box somewhere but i doubt anything else is there to be found really

http://www.songwriteruniverse.com/ne-yo.htm

in this interview he says he met scott storch while working on it, and then came 'let me love you', then etc

I didn't know about Ne-Yo either!

More reasons to love Complex Simplicity.

something i didnt know wot i only learned today: according to wiki ne-yo "...helped with the musical arrangement on the Teedra Moses debut Complex Simplicity."

cool huh

and now ne-yo is making singles "featuring calvin harris" :(

Is that Teairra Marí album any good? Really liking that song.

yes, i love it. ice cold and hard-ass

brittle screwface

gulp

um guys i just tried putting complex simplicity on, yknow like we all do once a year

and uh my brain is all is this katy b? idk man, sounds a lot like katy b

this is shaking me to my core

it's katy b.

yah but stick 'caution' on tho

Thanks, Lex; checking it out right now.

And I think I've said this before, but I'm pretty sure Katy B is not a thing that exists in America.

haha well katy's been going on about what a genius teedra is since forever! so i have had these thoughts. it's more apparent in the songwriting, you know that deceptively casual way of phrasing something then dropping a really startlingly poetic image in the middle of it, than the singing

I'm pretty sure Katy B is not a thing that exists in America.

it took a while but lots of US journalists started talking about her last year.
