TEYANA TAYLOR’S VISUAL ALBUM SHORT FILM ESCAPE ROOM AVAILABLE NOW

After premiering her visual album, short film with Amazon Prime, Teyana Taylor’s Escape Room film is now widely available. Upon its release the album peaked at #1 on iTunes R&B, #2 on Apple Music R&B and entered the Top 10 on Apple Music Top Albums chart.

Blurring the boundaries between music, film, and storytelling, Escape Room is an immersive, multi-sensory journey that embodies freedom, heartbreak, and healing. The project collides sound and cinema into an unforgettable experience as a companion piece to her highly-anticipated album Escape Room, out now via Def Jam Recordings.

About Escape Room, Teyana shared, “Escape Room isn’t just a film or an album, it’s a world I built to live in, bleed in, and heal in. I poured my heart into every layer, from the story to the sound, to capture that journey we all take through the shadows of heartbreak, whether that’s love lost, friendships broken, dreams deferred and guide you toward the lightness of healing. It’s the visual representation of my scars, the picture of my healing, and a mirror for anyone ready to face their own truth. This is more than a story… it’s a place to break free.”

Teyana 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. The accompanying album stands out as her first new music in five years. She 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.
