Teairra Mari’s new single, ‘U Did Dat’, will be added to radio formats this month and as such the other aspects of her promotional campaign have been set in motion. In this behind the scenes footage of her recent studio sessions with Rico Love, the singer described the direction of her long awaited new studio album, which will hit stores later this year.

Mari signed to Love’s Division1 label on Universal Motown in August last year. Since that time, she has joined the producer on the latest season of Vh1′s ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ where they displayed their personal chemistry.

Watch the footage of the duo’s studio time below:

Hopefully, Love doesn’t give Mari a collection of recycled beats that resemble Kelly Rowland’s ‘Motivation’. He is a talented producer but similar to most of the hit-makers of the last decade – Timbaland, Missy Elliott and The Neptunes – he has a tendency to be redundant.

Thoughts?
