Teairra Mari is making her splash back onto the scene next year with a brand new album, slated to be released some time next year. Here’s the new single, “Built For This” that she debuted via her MySpace earlier this week.

Check her out on her new MySpace page, and keep it locked on CL for more info!

    that pic is not cute. maybe it’s the black and white but i doubt it…

  2. dale23

    Damn…lol at the lack of choices with this chick’s pictures!!!

  3. Claris (Ceejay)

    it don’t even look like her to me

  4. creez

    this picture scared the shit outta me when i first came on to this site.

  5. london chick

    This chick was using AUTO TUNE WAAAAAY before Tpain was and she’s still using it….wow….can’t you hear it?

    I wish her the best and the songs not half bad.

  6. krystal.

    OH GOD…

    THAT’S A HORRIBLE PICTURE!!!

  7. Candy Cane

    You know what? Her debut album wasn’t bad at all. 3/5.

  8. Blackenese

    I’m not feeling the song but she’s a pretty girl

  9. Honest Critic

    That picture doesn’t compliment her. She needs to smile because she is very pretty. I’m actually feeling this song and it’s more mature than her past material. I can see myself rocking this song.

  10. Katherine

    Yeahhh..I wish her the best, but this isnt something I could hear myself listening to..I stopped the player half way through :-(

  11. LEXXX

    Beautiful pic…song is cool…somethin I can listen 2 in my car when I get one LOL

  12. CALLAN

    I LOVE TEAIRRA MARI, PEOPLE SLEPT ON HER LAST ALBUM CANT WAIT TILL SHE DROPS HER NEW ONE. AND YES THA PIC IS WACK CUZ CHICK IS SUPER PRETTY

  13. KIDDO

    Well let me see, the pic could have been better, her mouth look funny, and the song
    sounds a lot like Jordan Sparks song can’t think of the title of the song, but anyway,
    she need to come out with another single fast.

  14. KIDDO

    Oh yeah, the song sounds like No Air by Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown!
    Wow whoever wrote that song was really biting like a mug!

  15. eldubuu

    She needs to come harder than this… It’s kindof like a “Survivor” type song. IF she wants to make a splash back she needs to do some bumping beats.

  16. SyN'CERE

    Song is dope my fav song by her was phone booth and act right…

  17. I hope she can gain some steam, she is really sweet and pretty.

  18. urbanfix.net

    No Daddy was the JAM, this song is hot too I hope she can comeback, its a shame that she couldve had the same success Rihanna did . I guess the public didnt warm up to her as much…

  19. Honest Critic

    It does sound like no air. MAybe that’s why I like it so much. The pop industry would eat this song up to be honest. She sounds really good though. Never knew her voice sound like that.

  20. pretty_charlie

    not feeling it.

  21. stacy

    I like the song and she’s a pretty girl who can actually sing. I’m still wondering how Rihanna blew up over her when she’s the one with the talent and the looks to match…

  22. YES IT'S SOLANGE

    *singing* – “Is there any boys around that know how to make a girl feel. Know how to make a girl feel… make her feel good”.

    That was my song for a minute, I can’t lie. Good to see her back and not giving up

  23. Song sounds hot. I hope she makes it this time. RMC

  24. ~*aShLeY*~

    her pitts are too airbrushed
    u cant even see the contour of it

  25. KEEPITREAL08

    The pic is cute…it does sound lik CB and JS “No Air” as WELL as a song that Ashanti would sing. ITS IGHT. But on the REAL Rhianna has taken you’re place hunnie so I would try acting or something….I dont think your BUILT FOR THIS. Sorry *shruggs shoulders*

  26. i support, SUPPORT...wear a GOOD bra!

    they airbrushed the SHYT outta her underarm area, lol

  27. Liteskincookie

    thats a cute high fashion pose . But wtfuxx up with the weave does anyone wear thier own hair anymore ?????????? (or atleast have hair)

    that shit must be itchy as hell .

  28. H-Town

    She definitely has potential. She just has to find her own unique sound. She can actually sing though.

  29. Alex

    I hope it’s just one of those singles they release so people knows she’s back. I dunno how I feel about it being a lead single it’s not really that strong.

  30. danDan

    I have always loved Teirra Mari and it’s a shame she fell down and out of the game, because she was a good artist and I loved all her songs.

    Remember when her (Teirra Mari), Rihanna (pre-hair cut) and Ameri performed a DC tribute at the AMAs? Ahahahaha… Rihanna couldn’t sing then and she can’t now… Poor Tierra, it was the wrong time to come out. Like, her performance and Rihanna’s performance was no comparison- go check it out. Talented and being a artist with a career with longevity have nothing to do with one an other.

    God bless and good luck with your new project.

    :D

  31. Corey

    Nice different sound for her

  32. Mattie

    I don’t know. I’m really rooting for her after how they did her but I find the song a little boring. The beat’s nice but after listening to it for a minute or so, I stopped listening…while the song was still on.

    I hope her other material is good. Her first single from this album wasn’t bad.

  33. sassydancer

    Wow she is beautiful the countless of ebony beauties in the music,acting and fashion industry is amazing. Black women are the sexiest and most attractive in the industry thus far and that is REAL TALK!

  34. Greatestloveofall

    Rihanna became the success story because her sound connected with Middle America. Pon De Replay, If It’s Loving That You Want—all them from her first record and from then on…they had enough crossover appeal for white people to jam to. Teairra is the better singer, but she was using way too much profanity on that album and she was like 17!!!!!! That’s crazy.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if T was bitter of Rhi, especially when she was being groomed by Jay as the next hot thing, only for your album to flop and get dumped the label.

    The record was just a competent first effort. I don’t know if America will give her another shot. Does she even have a video out?

    BTW this song is OK.

  35. Mrs.Sk8board P (AK and BK stan)

    LMAO

  36. Theworldwillendin2012

    Shit, i love that picture.

  37. truthfulsista

    That picture is ugly! She looks so weird. I never thought she was cute, even when she first came out. I always thought that she looked like a bratz doll/alien. I’m surprised we actually heard some new music from her. This chick is another wackass untalented female trying to make it in the industry. Her stank attitude is what got her in trouble. I remember I had a friend who lived in Detroit and told me how everybody was talking about how rude she was. This single is horrible. I stopped it after 30 seconds. She can’t sing. She sounds so deep and flat.

  38. THERE’S SOMETHING WEIRD ABOUT ALL THESE COMMENTS ON THIS BOARD FOR THIS GIRL…

    I HAVE MY SUSPICIONS, BUT FOR NOW I’LL KEEP THEM TO MYSELF.

  39. BY THE WAY, I LIKE THE SONG, I LIKE HER VOICE, AND I LIKE THE PIC.

  40. kmniles

    Dear Teairra,

    You need to take a note from LeToya Luckett. Put your past behind and come out with a great song, not something making you sound desperate for attention. You only had one mediocre song and have nothing to prove or live up to other than a misplaced title given to you by a fool.

    Sincerely
    kmniles

  41. ashleigh

    sher can actually sing.unlike rihanna.i wish you the best

  42. drea

    I can’t tell you how big of a fan I was with her make a girl feel good song, but her interviews were hard to watch, she would drift. she should do a tell all book. her and nivea look like sisters. thats a kick a*s photo. chick can sing, she fell off with that no daddy song eventhough its the real people said it was wack, it was really because make her feel was on a adult level and no daddy was not imo and that sent mixed views of what kind of artist she was. when her and ri came out, i was team tierra, i thought she was gonna blow, may 09 she will shine.

  43. drea

    Maybe in 09 she will shine*

  44. Tasha

    I absolutely love this song! She is going to do big things I think this time around! Get it girl!

  45. Peacekeeper00

    I like the song. It has a nice message and is fitting for her situation. I don’t know why people think everybody has to do the same thing and follow the same path.

    Teairra’s can sing and I’m hoping she delivers a good album.

  46. Ami

    This song sound like some copy cat ish. Yes it does sound like the Jordan Sparks song. I hope this is a song just to let people know she’s still alive and nothing else. Girl is young, pretty, fit, and vocally talented. But of course it’s more than that. It’s having the the right team that know both MUSIC and business (promotions, etc.), and to get that, u need a miracle. Anyhow, we know why Rhianna surpassed her former peer. We know her and Jay had a “special” connection.
    Well good luck to T.Mari

  47. keonta

    I don’t know what yall negative ass people are talking about.This is a good and positive song.And I think the picture looks nice.

  48. young a

    love this song, very powerful and true for her experiences over the last three years, AND SHE’S SEXY AS HELL, damn

  49. shawnte

    I LIKE HER. AT LEAST SHE IS STAYING TRUE TO HER PEOPLE AND NOT SELLING OUT TO MAKE MONEY. NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A MEGASTAR, JUST RESPECTED AND KNOWN AS A TRUE ARTIST BECAUSE WE HAVE SO FEW OUT HERE NOW.

  50. Izzy V.

    She looks like one of those weird looking alien super models.

    She should try modeling or something…………

  51. beyonces true fan

    the song is beautiful wasnt really feeling her song make a girl feel good but i liked dat dadyy one however this song is really really beautiful makes me wanna do soein..dat pic is ugly doesnt look like her neway goodluck…i love u bey

  52. HOTNESS

    Very pretty girl and she can sing. I wish her much success………more than Rihanna’s none singing ass.

  53. Tragic|Libra

    Seems to be a bit hating going on. Either people are unhappy with themselves or just plain evil.

    Anyhoo…

    This song fits her experience over the last few years. I think it’s the PERFECT comeback single and I know ALOT of people can/could relate to it. She sounds beautiful and it’s a more mature record. Rico Love and Teairra works really good together. Can’t wait to hear more of their collaboration.

  54. HOTNESS

    check out http://www.ethniccelebs.com

    Meagan Good says she is black,puerto rican, indian and irish and other black celebs are claiming to be 1/4 black as well. TO FUNNY!!!!

  55. Rayne

    I bought her first album and I instantly like a few songs. I just believe she picked the wrong label to sign with in the begining. Her star didn’t shine so bright cause the marketing people groomed her to be this hardcore chick from the hood while the other female singer on the same label was groomed to be the sweetie pie with the sugary fun lyrics. This time I hope her people get it right and myabe she’ll find a lane to be successful in.

  56. sparks

    Good Luck Tierra…. your haters should be your motivators… Good luck… even if we say anything about rihanna its too late now… your time will come cause you have real TALENT… rihanna is using witchcraft and she will soon come down (hard) remember where she is from. Remember my girl to pray and god will help you.

  57. crunkpoet

    i dont really hear jordin sparks..maybe the melody but really who would have thunk it lol anyway this is a nice song..not first single material but nice..all of her shit is nice

  58. Emmanuel

    This is the problem now! So many people think because they have watched making the band and read a few blogs that they know the business! What happened to actually just listening and taking in the feeling of a record? The first comment made was about her press photo and nothing else:( but that will be the same person that when another artist is posted, will talk about how a artist is only respected because of the look and how unfair it is. Lol this is why everything in music is so distorted. Somewhere along the way people started expecting artists to be everything but….musicians.

  59. music bites

    Music bites all the time, Latoya and Chris bit hard on Usher with the concept of not knowing should I go or stay. and imo Ushers trading places was Destiny Child, cater to you wrapped in different paper. point is, tierra just as lotoya, chris and usher made it their own.

  60. music bites

    meaning imo cater to you spark the idea to trading places or spaces, any who, part two will most likely be opposite of cater to you.
