TEEN – “All About Us”

TEEN – “All About Us”

The best moments on TEEN’s 2014 album, The Way And Color, were when the band sounded like they were juggling a million different instruments at once. “Not For Long” and “Rose 4 U” were great at demonstrating that balance, and it seems like the four-piece doubled down on that energy on “All About Us,” the lead single off of their new record Love Yes. It’s a breathy, fast-paced retro-R&B track that feels like it could stumble under its own weight but never does. Here’s how vocalist Teeny Liberson explained the track to Noisey:

“All About Us” is a song about the underplayed, quiet misogyny that women experience too often. The theme explores a situation that I have dealt with many times; if sexism is not in your face, and one isn’t saying it outright, then it couldn’t possibly be happening. If I then react, it is incredibly easy to be dismissed as a silly, overreactive women. The song evaluates this exact power play, and in turn makes fun of the perpetrator; because quite frankly, it’s insane that still is happening in this day and age.
