"... a fitting elegy ... a vehicle for the many sides of Marie. The gorgeous title track, a powerful, heartfelt ballad showcases Marie's vocals at her most forceful ..."
- Rolling Stone
"... highlights her incomparable ease with melding modern trends and classically-arranged narratives to produce sophisticated, yet street-savvy grooves ... this final studio release lives up to its name. Highly recommended."
- SoulTracks.com
This posthumous release from soul/R&B singer Teena Marie was assembled by her 20 year old daughter, singer Alia Rose, from material Marie was working on before her death. Recorded at her Pasadena home studio and finished except for final mixes, Rose saw the album through to its conclusion and release in 2013. Rose co-wrote three of these songs and sings with her mom on two tracks here.Beautiful is a mother’s gift to her daughter, who returns the gesture the only way she knows how, by completing it. The end result is a true labor of love.
