Escape Room is Teyana Taylor’s 36-minute visual album and immersive music film, produced by The Aunties in association with STURDY. Co-Executive Produced by Paul Thomas Anderson and Missy Elliott, it features performances and monologues from Teyana Taylor, LaKeith Stanfield, Aaron Pierre, Niecy Nash, Taraji P. Henson, Issa Rae, and Kerry Washington. Teyana Taylor crafted a fully immersive audiovisual universe spanning the visual album and its music videos: Escape Room (Short Film), Long Time, and Bed of Roses, along with trailers and teasers, exclusively released on Amazon Prime Video. Serving as Director, Executive Producer, Musical Artist, Co-Writer, Actress, Dancer, Co-Stylist, and more, Teyana had a hand in every aspect of this visual album rollout. The project was conceived to re-engage Teyana’s existing fanbase while attracting a new audience through compelling storytelling presented as a visual album. By fusing Teyana’s audio-narrative soundscape into a cinematic universe, it immerses audiences in the story of love, heartbreak, escapement, and personal growth—bringing the emotion and energy of her music vividly to life. Escape Room has achieved over 30 million video views, including: Escape Room (YouTube) – 1.48M views Longtime (YouTube) – 2.4M views Bed of Roses (YouTube) – 1.5M views Official teaser – 2M views Escape Room redefines fan engagement, transforming the album experience into a cultural and emotional journey that merges music, narrative, and cinematic storytelling.
