(August 31, 2023) – Beaumont, TX based artist Teezo Touchdown connects with Janelle Monáe for his new single “You Thought.” This is the latest single from his upcoming debut album How Do You Sleep At Night?, releasing September 8th via Not Fit For Society/RCA Records. In “You Thought,” Teezo stitches tightly-wound raps into scuttling percussion and flaring electric guitar for a tongue-in-cheek flex anthem. Janelle Monáe adds a sweet touch by weaving in sweet romantic melodies. Listen to “You Thought” HERE.
How Do You Sleep At Night? will also include the single “Familiarity,” where Teezo took us back to 2018 and portrayed the early steps in his journey to pursuing a music career. The song has a classic feel of ’90s pop-punk and alternative with a twist that only Teezo can craft.
Stream “You Thought” featuring Janelle Monáe and stay tuned for Teezo Touchdown’s debut album, How Do You Sleep At Night? coming September 8th.
About Teezo Touchdown:
Combining emotive vocals with stylish pop punk, airy R&B, rap and youthful whimsy, Teezo Touchdown makes defiant soundtracks for dreamers. Hailing from Beaumont, Texas, his shapeshifting sounds have earned him an expansive fan base and cosigns from artists like Drake, Travis Scott, Tyler, The Creator and more, illuminating his presence as one of music’s most inventive new creators.
He shines brighter than ever on How Do You Sleep At Night?, an exuberant new album drenched in playful self-awareness, yearning sincerity and effortless versatility. Coated in splashes of feathery falsetto and existential confusion, the LP’s first single, the autobiographical “Familiarity,” sees Teezo remembering his decision to chase musical superstardom. On “Daddy Mama Drama,” he sinks into sentimental acoustic guitar for a rumination on familial strife. Open, honest and endlessly dynamic, it’s Teezo Touchdown 2.0, the latest step in an evolution that began years ago.
The son of a DJ, Teezo emerged in 2020, a year that saw him drop singles like “BadEnough,” “Rooting For You,” “Careful,” “SUCKA!,” “Strong Friend” and “Social Cues.” With their inventive accompanying videos, the releases propelled Teezo into the national consciousness, where he’s remained since. In 2021, he secured more attention when he appeared on Tyler, The Creator’s standout Call Me If You Get Lost track, “RunItUp” before joining Tyler on tour for the album. The same year, he established himself in the fashion world by appearing in campaigns for Telfar, Heaven by Marc Jacobs, Givenchy and Balenciaga. Since then, he’s gone on to collaborate with Travis Scott (“Modern Jam”), Don Toliver (“Luckily I’m Having”), Paris Texas (“Full English”), Lil Yachty (“The Ride-”) and more. New music means that list will only grow. Teezo’s level up is the result of goals he set for himself years ago, and with the release of How Do You Sleep At Night?, he can dream bigger than ever.
