 Teena MarieNaked to the World Release Date 1987 04 zz Label Epic Rating:  Teena Marie's popularity had decreased by 1988, when she found herself competing with considerably less talented Prince clones, Madonna wannabes, and Paula Abdul sound-alikes. But she managed to have both a hit album and an artistic triumph in Naked to the World, which found her taking a more high-tech, contemporary-sounding (by 1988 standards) approach to production without abandoning the classic soul and funk elements that made her so appealing to begin with. Among the treasures: the unapologetically sentimental, early-'70s ballad &"Ooo La La La" (which proudly proclaims its allegiance to soul music's golden era, with references to Bloodstone's &"Natural High" and Al Green's &"Let's Stay Together"), the addictively funky &"Work It," and the sassy, clever &"Trick Bag." The sparks usually flew when Lady T formed a duet with Rick James, and the sweaty &"Call Me (I Got Yo Number)" and the ballad &"The Once and Future Dream" are no exceptions.
