Thursday Throwback: Teairra Mari Circa 2005
While anyone in the GMT timezone is in the final few minutes of Thursday, I’ve decided to squeeze in a quick Thursday Throwback. Earlier today I heard Teairra Mari‘s “Phone Booth” and my mind instantly cast back to 2005 when Teairra was the Roc’s golden girl and Rihanna was the label’s “risk”. It was a time when a Kanye West co-sign meant a little less, and Teairra was definitely the most promising of the female vocalists on Rocafella at the time. I’m still waiting for her to make a plausible comeback, but until then I’ll bump these tunes:
“Phone Booth”
“Make Her Feel Good”
I like her in the beginning. Her first album was real good; lyrics, beats, melodies.
Now she is really struggling to stay relevant like the rest of the R&B artist; Ciara etc…
