"...got me in my feelings." : the albums, 2018.


04/teyana taylor/k.t.s.e.

the name on everybody's lips?

teyana.

ten years in the game, no album out, gotta em searching and salivating:

where's teyana?

"you ain't hot yet? you ain't pop yet? what's up wit' you and ye?..."

she good. she real good. they real good.

"what do she do?"

everything. and this. k.t.s.e. : eight songs, no fade outs, and all business from she and mr. west with what just very well may be the best and most cohesive project of his production wise this year. but don't get it twisted, the true star of the show is mrs. taylor, the international sensation with that take no prisoners or bullshit presence, and those wonderfully versatile and soulful vocals. k.t.s.e. keeps that same energy, focus, and love for the soul music that came before it like many a mary j. album from the 90s running through every hook, note, and vocal, and is hot and poppin' from start to finish.

what's up with her and ye?

they good.

real good.

put that on everything.
