Teyana Taylor’s scorching performance in Kanye West’s ‘Fade’ video has undoubtedly reignited interest in her musical career.
Only right then, as she reintroduced to the masses following her ‘My Super Sweet 16’-backed debut, she steps out to share exciting new details about her next studio album.
Full story below…
She revealed:
GOOD Music just opened a compound in Los Angeles, so they let all of us just go in and vibe. I’ve been laying down a lot of different ideas and trying to figure out what I’m feeling musically and where I want to go musically. I’ll be dropping something really soon. I’ve got some big stuff in the works.
With my music, I always express what I’m feeling right at that moment. Just having had Junie, I have a lot to talk about: Junie, love, and being a young adult woman. It’s almost like a journal. I just want to tell my story.
She added:
I want girls and women of any age to know that we are human and come from the same place. My music comes from the heart. I want speak to women and men about real issues that we all go through. You’ve got to talk about what’s going on in the world today — there’s a lot going on — but you also got to talk about how it feels; what makes us emotional; what makes us happy.
The ‘Google Me’ singer shared the details above in an interview with ‘W Magazine’, one of many publications keen to catch up with her as her once-dimmed star continues to rise.
Who is influencing her new sound?
I love to zone out to Sade and Aaliyah. I’m such an old lady, so I love the ‘80s and ‘90s India Arie. I’m also in love with love songs. My first album was just jams.
My sound has definitely grown. My first album was recorded before Junie was even a thought. Before I found love again. I came from heartbreak and growing up as a woman. Now, I’m 25-going-on-26 and I have a family, a husband, and a child. I can talk about things with a different level of maturity now. I’m a better version of myself. I know what I want. I’m more wise; more aware.
We look forward to hearing it!
Her debut album is pure fire so i’m hoping the follow up will be. Looking forward to it
it really was!! I can’t wait for the next one!! You can tell that her label wasn’t fully backing her though, its f*cked up how they released lil clips of each video but never released the finished versions. They wanted to drop her but Kanye fought for her & he definitely gained my respect back for doing so!
She looks like Lil Kim in that picture
Oops! Lol
Loved that debut so glad I followed my gut and bought it when it came out.
So in touch with the core of R&B so that appealed to me the most on VII
Junie’s god mother is slaying in that pic^^^
I’m SOOOOO happy for the notoriety she is receiving !! Tey been flames. Can wait for her sophomore albummmm
Her 1st album was definitely slept on .
Yes cant wait
She promote the hell out of this album.
Don’t she have brother & sister and can’t wait
No she the only child… Her mom looks like her sister!
Tis post had me happy! No bashing, nothing about flops because her album didn’t sell but it was real music! And good music
