Product Description

After a decade's absence, Teena Marie returns as Cash Money's 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 doesn't 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 rapper to John Lennon, while "My Body's Hungry," "Baby I'm Your Fiend," and duets with Gerald Levert and old cohort Rick James 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 year's most welcome releases--and not only because it's good to have an old friend back on wax. --Rickey Wright
