Tei Shi

Brooklyn's Tei Shi just released her first EP, titled Saudade. The lovely Devin Duckworth covered her first delicate, soulful single, "M&Ms," earlier this summer. It's now clear that Tei Shi has lived up to the standards set by the earlier single with "Nature vs Nurture."With passion and depth, Tei Shi starts the track slow and whimsical. Spaced out notes flutter together, birthing a multifaceted track with a heavy, dragging bass line. Poignant lyrics strike close to the heart of anyone plagued by heartache -- "Baby what's wrong with me, lonely as a satellite," for example.As a first EP, Tei Shi is showing variety, demure strength, intellect, and raw talent throughout the release. If this is what her first step into the musical world is like, we can only expect amazing things to come. Give the darling lady a follow here to keep an eye on this budding talent.
