♫ Teedra Moses – So Cool

Check out this exclusive from Teedra Moses, “So Cool.” Teedra (who is actually one of my favorite artists), released her debut album, Complex Simplicity back in 2004 and I’ve been checking for her ever since. I actually got a chance to speak with Teedra not long ago, and she is working hard on her second album, The Young Lioness, which we’ve been waiting for a long time.Teedra wanted to let all of her fans know that when it’s out, it’s going to be right and well worth the wait.

“So Cool” is a really mellow, dope song. You can definitely hear Teedra’s Prince influence in the Drone One-produced track. What I love about this track is that it’s different for Teedra, but it still has that Complex Simplicity familiarity. I’m definitely digging it.

Check out Teedra on MySpace and tell her Brian from CL sent you! Show my girl some love!

  1. this is definately different from her usual music….im not a big fan of it but i can see it growing on me…..The Young Lioness was supposed to drop ages ago…ugh

  2. Mel

    She is one of the most slept on artist. There are a few and she is one that had an incredible album and got really no recognition.

    I can’t wait to hear her new album, and as long as it is good(I am loving So Cool) then it is worth the wait.

  3. Junior in Jamaica

    I am not familiar with her other music, never really took the time to listen. However, I can dig this song here.

    She has a familiar voice but she delivers.

    LOVE it!! The beat is hot.

    Didnt her label, TVT, go bankrupt? I hope that she gets to release this record!

  8. CoolieMilkshake

    I just love her voice!!
    The song’s definitely growing on me.

  9. Ladycole

    LOVE IT. watch out for Ms. Teedra yall

  10. carolinawhenyouspeak

    …not what I would expect from Teedra. I’m not diggin’ it. Maybe it will grow on me. The Young Lioness was supposed to drop Feb ’07. I’m very disappointed and I hope that after having to wait so long, the new cd won’t be filled with tracks that sound like “So Cool”. Teedra was like a modern day Cherrelle to me. I hope time hasn’t made her loose her edge.

  11. Dame(The Dark Knight)

    It’s okay

  12. metis

    AAAAAH I LOVE IT!!

  14. POLORL

  15. BreezyB

    thanks brian

  17. Toons

    I digs. It’s very 80s. I get what you mean Brandon, very different yet still similiar to CS.

    Im not a huge fan but I like her voice and her music. She’s very soothing and relaxing.

  18. MIDNIGHT POISON

    she’s the Truch !
    We’ve waiting for the album for a long time Teedra !!!
    Hope you come back as soon as possible !!!

  19. Dev

    It’s not the usual Teedra but as far as im concerned she can do no wrong. It catchy! a bit like Janelle Monae but more comercial. Where is the mp3 link?

  20. NETE

    I loveee her…I heard her music back in 05…shes really underrated…This is regular teedra to me atleast..I love her voice

  21. superduper50000000

    I SUPPORT TEEDRA 100% SHE IS ONE OF THOSE SINGERS WHO CAN SING!!LOL

    YES IN THIS MUSIC BUSINESS THERE ARE SINGERS WHO SURPRISING CAN’T DO THERE JOB SING!!!

  22. superduper50000000

    @ 20 dev –AGREE WITH YAH

  23. Focused1

    On first listen, it’s okay. It might grow on me, but I love Complex Simplcity. I bump it all the time and it’s 4 years old. I listen to her Young Hustla Vol. 2 mixtape a lot as well. Does anybody know if she’s signed to a label yet? I hope the TVT situation is settled by now.

  24. RPII

    Definitely a hot song!! I was really suprised, she got a hit on her hands. It’s definitely hotter than most of the songs on heavy rotation. I love the New Wave 80s sound.

  25. STLCHICK

    I’ve never heard of her b4 but I like this. It’s hot and she really has talent. Finally!!!

  26. anonymous

    I hear alot of you talk about an artist being slept on. Well let me tell you a little music biz secret, some artist get signed by labels so that artist can not out shine the current focus( the artist thats bringing the cash). Its called buying out the competition. The other issue i see here for Teedra is that her first album raked in the 25 or older crowd which in the industry is bad for a first time artist. The crowd she would need to target to be successful is the 12 and older crowd which is why this song was made, to try to catch the attention of that younger market because thats where the money is…

  27. JOJO

    I’ve never heard of her.. Not really feelin’ the song either…

  28. Lola AM

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVED COMPLEX SIMPLICITY!!! I dig this song too.

  29. Ladyssolady

    I love Teedra! She’s sooo underrated. Her voice sounds good on the song, but I don’t like the song. I like ‘Take My Love Away’ from the ‘Young Lioness’. I also like this song she sings called ‘Adore You’ (I think that’s the name of it).

  30. UB

    I love Teedra! She’s way too underrated.

  31. Kellz

    I love Teedra and her voice is so incredible BUT this song is not HOT. Like I understand everyone is trying to go back to the 80s but damn… its 2008, let’s try something new. She needs to pick up where she left off (musically wise) or try something fresh cause this is not a good fit. In fact, the backtrack sounds like that song the white chick in “The Last Dragon” was singing (“Dirty Boy”) lol!

  32. Ladyssolady

    #33, LMMFAO!!! ‘I found him, I found him!’ I love all the little songs on that movie!

  33. Damn, I was hoping to like the song, but I don’t. She has a beautiful voice though. I normally don’t dig fast paced R&B songs though…

  34. Jenii~Babez

    I AGREE WITH #7….SHE REALLY IS UNDERATED…LUV IT THO VERY 80s!

  35. DC- U St.

    I saw her perform a couple of months ago and I love her so much. LOVIN the song. Cant wait till this drops.

  36. Angelita

    This is definitely different. I just pray that she gets the recognition she deserves with this next album.

  37. Lori

    It’s not what I expected from her but her voice is so soothing!

  38. Tonya

    My first reaction to this song was “WTF?” but then the beat began to grow on me. I’m actually feeling it. I love Teedra and I will agree that she is the most underrated artists that’s out in the business. I love her last CD and I’m patitenly awaiting for the “Young Lioness”.

  39. Brutus

    Can’t believe she had kids by Rass Kass? though.

  40. henry

    I love Teedra and I will agree that she is the most underrated artists that’s out in the business. I love her last CD and I’m patitenly awaiting for the “Young Lioness”.
    Oh, so hot lady! It was said she just enjoyed hot dating with a black guy on *inter racial chatting.com*so many fans show interesting to her hot photos and videos there. Nice to enjoy more details about it…

  41. SOMEBODY

    I LOVE IT. THIS SONG PUTS ME INTO A TRANCE!!!!!!!!!!

  42. EverybodyBeCool

    umm…this song is ok not as good as You Better Tell Her but whatever..and Ashanti is talented too sure her voice aint that best but she still can sing..why is it necessary to bring somebody down to bring sombody else up (Que)??BOGUS

  43. ChileBoo

    I like it…it has 80′s feel to it. I can definitely hear the influences of Tina Marie, Pat Benatar and Phyllis Hyman. It’s one of those songs that grows on you. I love how crisp and clear Teedra’s vocals are, and I especially appreciate her not trying to vocally overpower the abstract rhythm of this particular song. It’s important to know when to step back and be passive-aggressive in your vocal approach, if it would have been any other way, this song could have easily been a disaster. It would have been too busy and over saturated. Teedra keeps it sultry, sexy and simple. I really like her style and I will be checking for her whenever she drops. Teedra has talent that is worth waiting on.

  44. Intrigue216

    I’m loving the vibe of the song, can’t wait for the album to drop!

  45. WARNING:OPIONATED

    I love me some TEEDRA MOSES(truly my favorite female singer next to Aaliyah, Amel Larrieux, Sarah Vaughn, Nina Simone & Billy Holiday) Im really feelin Jazmine Sullivan too…dont sleep on her too CL …Anywayz..MS TEEDRA TRULY DESERVES SOOO MUCH RECOGNITION ITS RIDICULOUS. I Get baffled when I see “so called singers” posted everywhere in magazines and all on tv yet the only thing they have to offer is looks “whats in style” in half azz studio produced singing. When theres real & truly gifted singers out here like Miss Teedra that really deserves to be spoked on.

    Even though Im not too much of a fan of this track I can listen to it..due to the fact that I just loooove to hear Teedra singing….and she has a plethora of other tracks that I am simply inlove with…..You can tell when you hear real singing because its from the heart & soul.

    Thanks CL for representing Miss Teedra Moses…she really is an under estimated artist that truly deserves the shine and spotlight.

  46. ThatGirlLinda

    Upon first listen I immediately thought of Footloose for some reason. Prolly the 80′s beat.. I think in general more artists need to be more creative and create something for 08-09… I didn’t listen to the whole song but she has a nice voice.

  47. Leisah

    I absolutely LOVE it! Teedra can do no wrong. I wish she would go ahead and release the sophmore album, already! Hot song!

  48. BT

    This is by far the best Teedra track I’ve ever heard. Don’t get me wrong, I luv me some classic T.M., but she seems to have stepped up her production and songwriting on this one. This is the song that will take her from the artist we know and love that everyone else sleeps on, to the international superstar we know she is.

    Definitely worth the wait! When will this be on iTunes?

  49. thamagnifisent

    Wow. Never heard of her. This ish is dope.

    Doesn’t hurt that she’s fa-ine.

  50. thamagnifisent

    Oh, and if anyone cares, her myspace link is http://www.myspace.com/teedramoses not mose, lol.

  51. sexyboots

    Teedra got next with this song!

  52. jadak2332

    TEERDA MOSES IS THE MOST SLEPT ON MUSIC ARTIST TO DATE… SHE IS SO AMAZING AND I HOPE PEOPLE LISTEN TO HER MORE BC OF THIS POST. SHE NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH A CD ASAP…SO SHE CAN STOMP ON THESE GIRLS IN THIS MUSIC GAME!!!

  53. Jay

    I can’t wait for her new album to come out, I’ve been waiting for it for the longest! Oh, and someone needs to rip this!

  54. Maleficent

    Brian, tell Teedra to PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bless us with a second record. I don’t care if she has to start pushing CDs out of her TRUNK at her shows all over the US, but Teedra, we LOVE you and we have been WAITING!!! Complex Simplicity has been played so many times in my house that i’m quite sure my hispanic non-English speaking neighbors could SING THE WHOLE THING BACK TO ME. Now that bunk-ass slow-ass TVT records has let her go, i GUARANTEE Teedra that any record label worth its salt would SNATCH her up and run with her. She’s THAT GOOD. Call somebody, T! Hell, call Mathew Knowles even- he might be an old skeevy-like daughter-pimping brutha, but he definitely knows how to get shyt heard!

    Teedra, i;ve seen you in Santa Monica, i’ve seen you in Universal City, i’ve seen you on the Sunset Strip……come do another showcase here in Los Angeles soon, and if you need a chick to help you sell Lioness Mixtapes in the parking lot, pimpin’, I will DO THAT FOR YA!!

  55. Miss Resa

    I LoVe Her & this Song!!!!!!!!!

  56. nuoy

    what a beautiful woman!!hohoho, I saw her profile on the celebrities gothic men seeking affairs site “”"ukgothicmatch. com”"” last week. It said she is interested in seeking a gothic man for sugar daddy on that site! what a fool woman!

  57. Los

    Yeah! Hot… “All that shit you talkin in my ear, I ain’t even tryin to hear.”

  58. i'm just here for the free food

    this is different from her usual style, but it’s hot!!! she’s soooo slept on…

    can’t wait til her album drop…
