What do Carmen Sandiego, Lauryn Hill, and Terry Gross have in common? They're all among Dessa’s influences, according to her latest single. "Terry Gross" is part of Dessa's "IDES" series of new tracks, and we're proud to premiere the lyric video. The track is produced by Doomtree's Paper Tiger and Lazerbeak along with Andy Thompson; Matthew Levine (Cosmic Fox Media) created the fun visuals.
