The Harlem native herself stars in, wrote, directed, and produced the “enigmatic post-apocalyptic/futuristic noir romance thriller” under the banner of her all-female production company, The Aunties.

Of the project, Teyana says: “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.”

The mother of two announced the visual album in May with a trailer co-starring Aaron Pierre. She gifted fans with a preview of the project at the 2025 BET Awards, where she performed “Long Time” and “Fire Girl.”

Although Taylor’s album rollout is in full swing, the singer shared an unfortunate health update that put multiple opportunities on hold. On (Aug. 6), she opened up about the vocal challenges she has been quietly dealing with for a while. As a result, she underwent urgent vocal surgery to alleviate the “real discomfort,” and now she’s on her road to recovery as she needs “to pause and give myself time to fully heal.” View her emotional statement below and view the ESCAPE ROOM trailer above.
