Teairra Mari: Soulful Yet Sensitive
Source: USA Today
Thug love may rule the airwaves, but some of R&B's queen bees aren't having any of that. With her self-titled debut, Teairra Mari joins the ranks of self-respecting ladies like Ciara. Want Mari's love, boys? You'll have to earn it with respect, not bling.
Teairra Mari, Rocafella Records Presents Teairra Mari (* * * out of four) Being young and in love can't be easy when you've got all manner of thugs and hustlers trying to get at you all the time. But 17-year-old Mari seems to have time for them, and it'll take more than a wink and a smile to turn her head. She states that plainly on her hit, Make Her Feel Good, and then keeps the theme going with songs such as New Sh*t, Stay in Ya Lane and La La. Her sometimes buck-wild tendencies may be blamed on her having No Daddy, but she is hardly apologizing on that defiant club banger. Her confidence wavers a bit on Phone Booth, as she pleads for reassurance that her man isn't as bad as her momma says he is. Mari is the latest in a new breed of female R&B stars adamant about their standards when it comes to relationships. Ciara isn't the only one who can keep her cookies in the jar if she has to.
