Decades have passed since Teena Marie arrived on the scene and prompted the coining of the term “blue-eyed soul.” Her latest album finds her sticking to her winning script — rich vocals and mellow, soul-laced production. She wrote, produced and arranged the entire project, with standouts including the tag-team slow jam, “Lovers Lane” featuring Howard Hewett and the jazzy smooth title track featuring George Duke. An elegant foray into the depths of soul and mellow jazz, Teena Marie’s latest is an inspired effort that offers a a perfect soundtrack for any evening. –rogue marie
