Essence of Pop Music

Theresa Houston, aka Teesa formerly of the indie rock outfit Trey’s Parade, has traded in her guitar for synthesizers as she makes her pop debut with her self-titled EP. Upon listening to Teesa, one thing is certain. She has truly captured the essence of writing terrific pop songs. Her captivating melodies will keep you dancing on your feet while her brilliant lyrics will leave you singing even after the song is over. Another thing I notice is how each of the tracks carries its own unique personality that distinguishes them from each other, but allows them to remain cohesive as a whole. The EP’s lead off track, “Gameboi” is an 8-bit inspired fantasy about a girl’s love in a video game world. Teesa utilizes electronic sounds with great finesse allowing her to create a pop song that is unique and sensational. “Captive” and “Freak” are also great pop songs both which feature pulsating rhythms and irresistible lyrics. They may not be as unique as “Gameboi”, but the simplicity of her melodies can still leave an quite an impression.

Overall, the EP is a stellar debut for the up incoming songstress and captures the essence of great pop music.  Expect big things to come for Teesa in 2011 for this is a shining indication that an international pop star is in the making.
