Her music is so underrated, her recognition as a model is greater than her as an artist when I really think her music is as beautiful as she is

11 years later & Teyana Taylor’s music is still not appreciated the way it needs to be....

This is very sexual, the voice, the lyricism and the production. It's very in your face and can be a little overbearing at times. The vibe here is very relaxed though, it's almost like a female version of Channel Orange era Frank Ocean on display. And just like Channel Orange era Frank Ocean I’d say this is rather disjointed, almost like a bunch of ideas thrown together as opposed to a fully cohesive piece of music. Unfortunately the majority of this music isn't all too memorable for me either, especially compared to the rest of the GOOD music releases over the subsequent weeks prior to this release. But there are some solid arguments as to why this is one of the stronger albums Kanye helped release in this space of time Never Would Have Made It is a complete ballad, the clangy production is really quite gorgeous as the outdoor sounds just set this beautiful vibe, this is a pure summer track. “You are the sunshine in my life”, and holy shit, you believe it. If I take a tune away from this release it certainly is this upbeat, melodic monster of a track.

Issues/ Hold On is so melodic in its production, it’s a real slice of paradise. Its non-boundary pushing, but doesn’t intend on being so. This reminds me of Feist in its casual like bliss, and is a rather melodic highlight that this piece has to offer. “You tell me you love me, well tell me again”, it’s a very strong piece of music that demands attention as opposed to being disregarded in the flurry of albums Kanye was hyping up around this time.

Hurry offers up a hyper sexual tune, and a very forgettable Kanye verse, Kanye almost coming up with his offering to say that this has his approval as opposed to contributing to the song at hand.

3Way is a real low point here - sex appeal, sex appeal, sex appeal. Sure sex appeals, but it sure doesn’t beat the real thing with this song that is literally describing a 3Way. It’s an alright track, the vocal delivery very slick in its wake. But unfortunately the lyrics do nothing for me besides trying to appeal to the connotation “sex sells”, unfortunately you can’t purchase me that easily as I require some substance.

Teyana carries a real confidence with her as she goes over the slick production Kanye offers up during the track Rose In Harlem this really shows a side of her that just dominates. A real swagger about Teyana prevails here, and carries a real integratory to her vocal delivery, pulling off a great performance, a performance that does not relent. WTP is a spectacle to say the least Teyana does perform up to a really good standard as she goes over this very strange piece of production, in essence this is very plunderphonics in style. And to be quite honest it’s the only time the sexual appeal on this album actually appeals. The character on this track does not fuck around either, the production really being a fun little piece as Teyana just drawls out a real beautiful demeanour that appeals to a strong level. Unfortunately this track doesn’t feel like a fulfilled conclusion and more so an appeasement that is meant to leave you in awe, unfortunately it doesn’t quite achieve that and leaves you thinking “damn that Teyana is a talented lady I hope she releases something a little stronger and more consistent soon”. This album is strange, but I like it. It has shimmering moments of beauty and real depraved moments, amped up with sex (that does not sell for the most part).
