Teni Mines Marriage Obsession on Latest Single ‘Marry’

Teni has had a good run sitting at the top of the Rookie list and with her fondness for matters of the heart, she returns with a potential chart-topper Marry, an acoustic and jazz take on the age-old institution.

Making use of her famous ad-libs and charming style of delivery, Teni employs the “when will you marry?” simultaneously throwing light on the patriarchal pillar that shames women in long relationships. Over Jay Synths’ engaging and springy instrumentals, she manages to add a comical and mood-lifting twist to a somber narrative, something that has become a bit of a trademark.
