Teyana Taylor finally returns with some fresh music. The singer drops off a brand new single and accompanying video, titled “Long Time”.
Following a groundswell of excitement and anticipation, Harlem-born trailblazing artist, auteur, actress, and visionary Teyana Taylor shares a new single and music video entitled “Long Time” out today via Def Jam Recordings. It provides the first proper taste of her anxiously awaited new album and short film, Escape Room, which arrives in August.
“Long Time” ushers R&B into the future. A glitchy bassline pulsates like an intense robotic heartbeat accented by warped samples and airy beat-craft. Piercing the haze, she mines raw emotion from this icy digitized backdrop. Recounting the pitfalls of a relationship that long-overstayed its welcome, she laments, “The truth is it didn’t end when it was over…Baby, it’s been over a long time.”
