โ€œWorking with a legend like Elton was pure magic. I feel so honored to have worked with someone of such legendary stature. I am forever grateful to him for doing this for me! Although we physically could not shoot together due to Covid, him and his team were very responsive all the way from London. Yโ€™all couldnโ€™t even imagine how humbled I am, yet Iโ€™m feeling just a slight tinge of braggadocio, only a slight tinge though, lol like yeah, ya girl Tee & the legendary Elton John for the culture Pow! Just kiddingโ€ฆBut seriously, thank you again Elton, you are TRULY a GEM!!!โ€

THE ALBUM was tapped by Pitchfork as one of the โ€œmost anticipatยญed albums of the summer.โ€ In addition to “Wake Up Love,” Teyanaโ€™s masterpiece included her new graduation anthem “Made It,” pegged by NPR as a โ€œa triumphant, isolation-proof anthem for the Class of 2020.โ€ In August, it was announced that “Made It” was picked by President Barack Obama as one of the tracks on his 2020 Summer Playlist.

The exquisitely choreographed extended video treatment of โ€œLose Each Otherโ€ is underpinned by a cameo from Elton John on the grand piano. Teyana uses bold imagery, high fashion, and modern dance to brings new dimension to the original two minute song that was first heard on THE ALBUM.
โ€œAs a director I wanted the imagery to be simple, yet powerful, which is why I choose an all-white background and bold looks,โ€ said Teyana. โ€œI wanted my audience to understand how loveโ€™s hardships can also be beautiful.

Teyana captured the second #1 debut of her career with THE ALBUM, taking the #1 spot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and entering the Billboard 200 albums chart at #8, the highest pop debut of her career. Following the release of the album, won Video Director of the Year at the 2020 BET Awards.
