In recent months, Teyana Taylor began a family with Iman Shumpert an released a mixtape that further established her role as traditional R&B’s nostalgic revivalist, and she’s kicking off the summer of 2016 with an exciting new single.
Below, you can listen to “Freak On,” Teyana’s new single featuring Chris Brown, which is produced by DJ Mustard. The song easily has potential to do well commercially, considering its upbeat tempo–you know how DJ Mustard gets down in the summer–and its deft sampling of Adina Howard‘s “Freak Like Me,” the classic 1995 dance hit.
Taylor has unveiled little information about her sophomore album, but this is a welcomed return to the airwaves. Her major label debut, VII, was hailed as a desperately needed CPR for the female R&B world, which has seen its output significantly dwindle in recent years. Needless to say, we’re interested to see what the G.O.O.D. Music singer has cooked up for this go-round.
