We love us some Teedra Moses who celebrated the 20th Anniversary of her classic debut album Complex Simplicity with a stellar performance that trended across social media while reminding everyone just how special she was as a new artist in 2004.
Dressed in red (as a nod to her iconic dress on the Complex Simplicity cover), the gorgeous vibestress, 47, restored that mid-2000s R&B feeling with a perfectly curated setlist that included timeless jams “Backstroke,” “You’ll Never Find (A Better Woman),” and both versions (the original and Kaytranada remix) of fan-favorite ‘Be Your Girl.’
Check out the performance below:
While buzzing over Teedra’s long-overdue Tiny Desk, fans couldn’t help but notice Teedra’s striking resemblance to the legendary Phylicia Rashad that grows more uncanny by the performance.
“Teedra Moses came draped in all red, the same color she wore on the album’s cover,” wrote Bobby Carter, Host and Series Producer of Tiny Desk Concerts. “She couldn’t wait to get into the office and sing. Admittedly, I held off from formally inviting her to play the Desk for a couple of years because I knew this landmark was approaching, and this album was worth honoring in a major way. She rarely performs songs from Complex… exclusively, so she brought family and invited special guests to participate, including long-time collaborator J. Black and Tiny Desk alumnus Durand Bernarr.”
