Teyana Taylor's New Album Is As Star-Studded As Her Listening Party
Artist: Teyana Taylor
Album: The Album
Drop Date: June 19— Juneteenth.
The Listening Party: Taylor previewed the project at a star-studded listening party on Wednesday, June 17. Cardi B, Offset, Quavo, Trey Songz, Winnie Harlow, Snoh Aalegra, and many more donned yellow protective gear for the event. Taylor's own jumpsuit had the words "Justice for All" spray-painted across the front, referencing the Black Lives Matter movement.
One of the walls at the event was dedicated to #BlackLivesMatter photographs and messages. Guests observed a moment of silence for the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, among others. Guests were able to tag their own names onto the walls, uniting and standing for change within our system.
The party was also significant as the first time many of the attendees had met in public since lockdown began.
Reviews: Since the listening party, reviews have been streaming in and The Album is already being hailed as Taylor's strongest work yet.
Tracklist: Fans had been holding out for The Album since her 2018, Kanye West-produced LP, K.T.S.E. And today, Juneteenth, they weren't disappointed. The 23-track project features an absolutely stacked list of guest artists: Erykah Badu, Missy Elliott, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Future, Kehlani, Quavo, Rick Ross, King Combs, Iman Shumper, and more.
