Words by Andre Kettle
We’re getting ready for the Summer and while we’re home still in quarantine the music does not stop. This is definitely a strange time to release new music, thankfully some of our favorite artists are still moving forward with their projects giving us something comforting. Here are some of the releases to look forward to for June.
Teyana Taylor
Following up her 2018 sophomore album K.T.S.E.,Teyana confirmed her new project The Album would drop next month. The announcement was posted on her Instagram, showing off the Grace Jones-inspired cover art taken by @danielsannwald. The official date is yet to be determined but we know we’re going get some smooth R&B vibes.
“This album is definitely more of a vibe. I don’t really do fast songs like that,” Taylor said in an interview for the Red Bull Music Instagram. That is where she held a Q&A session with her dance captain Coco Gilbert. “There are some head-boppers. It’s not super-fast. You can dance and you can cry and you can ride.”
