Teena Marie - Naked To The World
Review by Stephen Skimming
Naked To The World is an album that showcases Teena Marie's incredible vocal range and musical talent. Released in 1988, it features a mix of soul, funk, and R&B tracks that are both upbeat and introspective. The album's opening track, "Here's Looking at You," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its funky bassline and Marie's powerful vocals.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Ooo La La La," a sensual slow jam that showcases Marie's ability to deliver heartfelt lyrics, and "Work It," an upbeat dance track that highlights her versatility as a performer. The album's title track, "Naked To The World," is a stunning ballad that showcases Marie's emotional depth and vulnerability.

Summary by Stephen Skimming
Comments
Arguably the best album she did in her career. What makes this album awesome is how she returned to her funk roots, however, not only it's an funk album, she does Pop (Surrealistic Pillow, Work It) Hip Hop (Call Me I Got Your Number with her mentor Rick James as they did a rap in the song ) even Freestyle (Trick Bag, Ooh La La, The Ball) and the album highlight is the duet with Rick James on the ballad The Once And The Future Dream which is nearly 8 minutes long. Big improvement on the critical and commercial failure of Emerald City.
This song was released before I was born but I like it. 2022 strong ??
Congratulations to the Legendary Lady T.
Mrs. Teena Marie on winning her first Grammy, because Beyonce sampled her work on Cuff It.
