^^^ No wonder your 16yo-self can relate since an almost-50yo man has been so ridiculously retouched to look even younger than he probably looked when he was 16yo.
The first shot posted of Teyana is awesome and should have been the standout covershot: 90s vulgarity and defiance reminiscent of Madonna by Mondino… Too bad the styling of the rest looks very 2009-dated.
(BTW, she’s good: Very much a return to the eternal silky and soulful chill of New Jack Swing of the mid-90s…. The spirit of old souls D’Angelo. SWV, TLC, Mary J. Blige, Dawn Penn, Lauryn Hill is strong with her.)
