Maybach Music Group’s first lady, Teedra Moses, has released the official video for her single ‘Another Luvr’ featuring labelmate, Wale.

Check out Another Luvr below:
Teedra Moses was born and raised in New Orleans. She later moved to Los Angeles with her mother and three siblings after her parents separated.
Her childhood has been a direct influence on her musical style, her mother was a gospel singer and she was raised on gospel, jazz, zydeco and blues.
Moses recalls wanting to listen to the music that was then being played on the radio, but her mother made her listen to gospel.
The final song on her debut album, “I Think of You (Shirley’s Song)”, is dedicated to her late mother.
Prior to becoming a recording artist, Moses worked as an assistant wardrobe stylist alongside her best friend Nonja McKenzie for artists such as Will Smith, Kelis, R. Kelly and No Doubt.
But after breaking her leg on a video set, Moses decided to follow her heart and make music.
Moses teamed up with producer Paul Poli and signed with the Indie Record Label, TVT Records to release her debut album Complex Simplicity in August 2004.
Complex Simplicity included fourteen tracks penned by Moses, with dominant production handled by Poli; the two would share a deserved executive production credit. The album underperformed on the major U.S. chart, debuting and peaking at number one hundred and sixty-eight on the Billboard 200.
However, the album was critically acclaimed, otherwise finding success on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, the Top Independent Albums, and the Top Heatseekers charts, reaching number twenty, number eleven, and number ten, respectively.
In addition to executive producing and penning all the lyrics on her own project, Moses has written songs for other artists including Nivea, Christina Milian, Mary J. Blige and others. She was featured on and co-wrote two songs from Raphael Saadiq’s 2004 album Ray Ray, “Chic” and “I Want You Back”.
Her songs have been showcased in the Logo series Noah’s Arc as well as in the HBO hit show Entourage, and in movies such as Never Die Alone, Beauty Shop, and Be Cool.
