"Blessa" is a song by American singer Toro y Moi. The song originally released October 5, 2009, on the EP Blessa b/w 109, which featured "Blessa," as well as a B-side titled "109." A slightly modified version of "Blessa" appeared on Toro y Moi's first album, Causers of This, as the first track.
"Blessa" received positive reviews from critics. The Guardian described the track as "hazy summer sounds with a New Jack shine, as if Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced the Cocteau Twins,"[1] with Pitchfork describing "Blessa" as "just like one of [Toro y Moi's] spontaneously snapped photos of a hazy afternoon that quickly captures a sentiment and bottles it, culminating yet another piece of Toro Y [<nowiki/>''[[sic]]] Moi's life collage."[2]
In January of 2010, a music video for "Blessa" released. The video featured directing, cinematography, and editing by Jon Casey.[3] [4]
