''Emerald City'' is the seventh album by Teena Marie, released in 1986. It is a stylistic departure for her, with strong blues and jazz influences favored over her established soul/funk style, and is a concept album. This proved puzzling for fans and critics, and the album sold poorly, peaking at #20 on the US Black Albums chart and #81 on the Billboard Albums chart. Two singles, "Lips to Find You" and "Love Me Down Easy", were released. They reached #28 and #76 respectively on the Black Singles chart, but neither charted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. However, "Shangri-La", while it never became a single or charted anywhere, became a staple of quiet-storm programming blocks on adult R&B radio. Stevie Ray Vaughan played the guitar solo on "You So Heavy" and Stanley Clarke provided bass on "Sunny Skies". The album has been reissued by SoulMusic Records in 2012, with 5 bonus tracks. ==Track listing== All songs written by Teena Marie, except where noted. #"Emerald City" - 4:10 #"Once Is Not Enough" - 5:47 #"Lips to Find You" (Bendrix, Marie) - 5:11 #"You So Heavy" (Marie, Penny "P.J."
