Veteran R&B songstress Teena Marie, best known for her string of pop crossover hits in the early `80s ("Square Biz," "It Must Be Magic," "Lovergirl"), has never let fickle music trends dictate her creative output, even as she`s undergone several artistic makeovers since her popularity initially began to wane in the early `90s. The singer`s 13th album, CONGO SQUARE (named for a historic New Orleans site where 19th-century slaves were allowed to sing and dance on Sundays), marks a new chapter for Teena Marie, completing the circle on all her past influences, from southern soul and jazz to classic funk and hip-hop.
