On her new musical offering, the Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter unearths the conscious emotions in listeners with compelling and thought-provoking lyrics about the “forgotten” woman, whom as often left to pick up the pieces by herself.
“Why you hate me so much when all I ever did was be black, be born, be woman,” Teimi sings.
As for the single, she affirms that it’s “for the girls who often feel forgotten.”
