TeaMarrr Premieres New Song “One Job”
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter TeaMarrr has dropped a new song “One Job” with an accompanying lyrics video, directed by Tyren Redd.
The song is the second single from her upcoming debut album "Tea Turns To Wine", following the first single "Bent Hella", which was released back in April.
The clip draws a couple inside a dysfunctional dollhouse in which disappointment runs rampant. But the song is inspired from more serious issues like some mental domestic abuse.
"There’s an element of female empowerment to my music, and 'One Job' kick starts everything," she told The Root. "When I was writing it, my friend was going through some mental domestic abuse with her man at the time. He was so trash. I transferred that energy. At the same time, my one job is to prove myself as a songwriter and a singer, which I did here."- Last year, she released a debut EP "Thanks for the Chapstick". While recording in Toronto, she met songwriter Kareem James (Kiana Ledé).
Then, both artists relocated to Los Angeles and begin crafting the debut album "Tea Turns To Wine", which is set to be released later this year.
TeaMarrr said of her music, “I’m Just a Haitian girl trying to cry less and sing more, in this crazy world because music is healing My art does just what a cup of tea can do for you. Whether it’s hot or cold, I want people to feel good. My name is an acronym for—Totally Enthused About Making Really Really Raw—music, art, fashion, or anything. Whatever it is, it has to be raw. That’s my Tea!” - source : The Root
