Passion Play (album)


Passion Play is the tenth album by Teena Marie, released in July 19, 1994. Marie had parted company with Epic Records following disappointing sales of her 1990 album Ivory, and Passion Play was released on her own independent label, Sarai. Without the backing of a major label, the album received only limited distribution, sold modestly and failed to chart, despite being highly regarded by Marie's hardcore fans. The CD has long been out of print and is one of the most sought-after items in Marie's catalogue.
Passion Play contains guest contributions from Lenny Kravitz Lady Levi , and rapper Yo-Yo. It also includes a cover of the Linda Jones classic "Hypnotized". "Warm as Momma's Oven" was released as a single, but did not chart.
