ESCAPE ROOM THE ALBUM COMING IN AUGUST
WATCH HERE
Teyana Taylor continues to break boundaries as a multi-hyphenate force of nature. Shining in film, television, music, and culture, the Harlem-born trailblazing artist, auteur, actress, and visionary expands her sphere of influence once again with a new short film entitled Escape Room—coming in August. She not only stars in this enigmatic post-apocalyptic/futuristic, noir romance thriller, but she also wrote, directed, and produced it under the banner of her all-female production company The Aunties. To herald the short film’s arrival, she just debuted the trailer.
The Escape Room short film paves the way for her highly anticipated album of the same name coming this August. Her first new music in five years, Teyana has stretched her vision across dimensions, key songs will notably provide the soundscape for the film.
The short film acts as a visual representation of the album exploring the ombré effects of life’s journey from the darkness of all aspects of heartbreak (i.e. friendships, career, family, etc.) to the lightness of healing. This multi-faceted body of work traces the entire human experience delivering both a relatable and universal piece of art that audiences can make their own. Escape Room ultimately creates a safe space to break free from whatever we need to escape, leaving hurt behind, and reaching healing.
Five years ago, Teyana pivoted from music and ignited her film and television career. She has emerged as a superstar with a full slate of high-profile projects on the horizon. These include Tyler Perry’s Straw streaming via NETFLIX on June 6, Academy® Award-nominated iconic filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another with Academy® Award winners Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro in theaters September 26, and Joe Carnahan’s The Rip with Academy® Award winners Matt Damon and Ben Affleck set to debut coming soon on NETFLIX. Plus, she joins the cast of Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair alongside Kim Kardashian, 2x-Academy® Award nominee Naomi Watts, 8x-Academy® Award nominee Glenn Close, and Sarah Paulson.
Through her production company, The Aunties, she has notably acted as creative director for big brands like Victoria Secret, Jordan Brand, as well as artists like Summer Walker, Skilla Baby, Lil Baby, Glorilla, Latto. They have also directed commercials for Old Spice and Jordan Brand as well as music videos for Macy Gray, Bryson Tiller, Coco Jones, Monica, Neyo and more.
