Throwback Thursday: Teena Marie: “Déjà Vu (I’ve Been Here Before)”
From the king of blue-eyed soul to the queen. Teena Marie has long been crowned the Ivory Queen of Soul, and with the exception of maybe Linda Lyndell, I can’t think of any white woman who has ever sung with this much soul; not Celine, not Adele, not Ariana.
“Déjà Vu (I’ve Been Here Before)” is an album cut from her debut release, Wild and Peaceful. It’s a beautifully written song about having lived before and how we will all keep being reincarnated until we stop living in sin — so I guess I’ll be coming back. The true patrons of the arts will know this one, but if you’ve never heard it, you’re in for a treat. Enjoy.
