American recording artist Teyana Taylor has released three studio albums, one compilation album, one extended play (EP), two mixtapes, and eight singles (including four as a featured artist and two promotional singles). In 2009, Taylor released her first mixtape, From a Planet Called Harlem, which included her debut single "Google Me". It debuted at its peak of number ninety on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Around this time, Taylor featured on songs with the likes of Trey Songz, Missy Elliott, and Kanye West. Taylor has spoken about her inspiration from fellow female musician Lauryn Hill, which was noted with the release of her second mixtape in 2012. The mixtape, entitled The Misunderstanding of Teyana Taylor, takes its name from Hill's album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Teyana Taylor recruited Erykah Badu, Missy Elliott, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Rick Ross for her upcoming third LP, The Album, out on Juneteenth (Friday, June 19th) via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings. Check out the track list below.
The record, which follows 2018’s K.T.S.E., also features guest spots from Quavo, Kehlani, Future, Big Sean and King Combs. (Taylor’s initial Instagram message didn’t include Hill’s name, which prompted a playful follow-up post from the singer: “Tryna figure whoooooooo at da buildin getting fiiiiiiiiiiiired for forgetting to add MS LAURYN HILL to my track listing (as I sing you about to lose yo job) lol”
The Album features several tracks issued in 2019 and early 2020, including “How You Want It,” “Mornin’,” “Made It,” “Bare Wit Me,” “Wake Up Love” and the Kanye West-produced “We Got Love.”
Taylor — who helmed her own videos for “We Got Love” and “Wake Up Love,” among others — earned on Monday a 2020 BET Award nomination for Best Director. The vocalist recently appeared in Elliott’s vivid clip for “Cool Off,” reprising her role as a museum tour guide from the rapper’s “DripDemeanor” visual.

Teyana Taylor announced that her third full-length – simply titled, The Album – is slated for a June release via GOOD Music/Def Jam. The Album follows her highly-acclaimed 2018 LP, KTSE (Keep That Same Energy).
The announcement of The Album comes on the heels of Taylor’s single and video for ‘We Got Love’, ft. Ms Lauryn Hill, released in March. Taylor also performed the song as a duet with collaborator Kanye West on Saturday Night Live’s Season 44 premiere.
West signed Taylor to his imprint, GOOD Music in 2012, and produced her sophomore effort, KTSE. The album garnered wide praise from a variety of outlets, including Thrillist, Complex and Okayplayer, who all included the title on their “Best Albums Of 2018” lists. Billboard also listed the LP as one of its “50 Best Albums of 2018” and one of the “10 Best R&B Albums” of the year.
In an Instagram Live Q&A last month, the artist offered some details on her new record, sharing that, “This album is definitely more of a vibe…There are some head-boppers. It’s not super-fast. You can dance and you can cry and you can ride.”
