Michaela Coel is on a roll!

The titan of talent is blazing a trail with self-created shows such as ‘Chewing Gum’ and most recently ‘I May Destroy You’ – the latter of which is receiving critical acclaim on both sides of the pond.

Written, directed, and executive produced by Coel, the BBC/HBO title invites viewers into the luminous world of London, as it unpacks a rivetting story of consent, race, youth culture and working in the media. All with a brand of nuance that many argue has yet to be seen on screen…until now.

In the new issue of British GQ, the star opens up about the hit which has taken the box by storm, as well as racism, and much more.

In the two years that separated fans of Teyana Taylor from her sophomore set and its 2020 follow-up, the 29-year-old saw her social profile continue to rise on the back of a successful VH1 reality show, multiple endorsement deals, directing fellow artists’ music videos (under the name “Spike T”), touring, and more.

Those ingredients made the perfect environment for baking and unveiling her third studio effort, ‘The Album,’ which was kicked off by six critically acclaimed singles:  “How You Want It?”, “Morning”, “We Got Love”, “Made It”, “Bare with Me,” and “Wake Up Love.”  To sweeten the pot, it was lined with 23 tracks and included a “who’s who” of features including Erykah Badu, Kehlani, Lauryn Hill, Future, Rick Ross, Quavo, and Missy Elliott.

Leading Taylor to what industry analysts predicted would be the best first week sales of her career (as we reported here), look inside to see just how right they were.
