On Her New Single, Singer-Songwriter TeaMarrr Captures The Hot Mess Of Love

The songwriting of this Boston-born artist is sly, mellifluous and bitingly honest. Her latest, "Whorey Heart," illustrates the emotive see-saw of trying to cut someone off.
"There was no way I was letting anybody know I wanted to do music, but I just kept getting pushed in musical directions," TeaMarrr says.

Whether your life is pristinely (and damn-near mythically) put together or your friends would dotingly define you as a hot mess, TeaMarrr understands. The Boston-born, LA-based artist makes self-deprecating, prickly pop and R&B for those navigating their dichotomies, meandering through their relationship statuses, or even questioning their sanity.
