Teyana Taylor, THE ALBUM
Teyana Taylor readies the release of her anticipated project "THE ALBUM" that drops on Friday, Juneteenth (June 19).

We're less than 24 hours away from hearing what Teyana Taylor has masterfully crafted to create THE ALBUM, and to celebrate the countdown, the singer hosted her listening party. Videos of the intimate get-together have been making the rounds on social media, and by the images and clips, it looked like the place to be on a Wednesday night. Everyone wore matching yellow fits for the gathering and vibed out in close quarters while jamming to the record.

Some intimate moments were captured by onlookers as Teyana Taylor and her husband Iman Shumpert embraced one another as their collaboration "Wake Up Love" played overhead. "Wake Up Love" was released last Friday and in the accompanying music video, the happy couple revealed to the world that they are expecting their second child. Their daughter Junie was also at the party stealing the spotlight, and it's obvious that she loves her mama's music because she was in the center of the crowd giving her best Baby Girl Bop.

Cardi B brought her little one Kulture to the listening party, as well, and both posed for pictures as they supported Teyana and her release. Check out a few videos and photos from the party below, and see if you can spot a few more celebrities grooving to THE ALBUM and honoring Teyana ahead of her big day.
