The Album<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cWhen I spoke to you five years ago, it wasn\u2019t on my terms,\u201d she begins. \u201cI\u2019ve returned now in a time when I get to come back on my terms. And that was important for me because \u2026 I don\u2019t like to be stuck in a box. I don\u2019t want to be stuck in one room. I\u2019m a Glade plug-in: I\u2019m going to plug in wherever I see a socket, wherever I see an outlet.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cFor me,\u201d she continues, \u201cwhy only make one room smell good when you can make the whole store smell good? What do I look like just being plugged up in a bathroom? I need to be plugged in all over! I must be able to smell the fruits of my labor everywhere I go. Coming back to music and being able to do it on my terms was a big turn-on for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAnd gauging by the response from her fan base, it\u2019s a turn-on for them too, as Taylor clears the runway for Escape Room<\/em>\u2019s impending arrival. Revealed this week, the 22 songs comprising her fourth studio album boasts features by Jill Scott, Tyla, Lucky Daye and Kaytranada, plus her daughters Rue Rose and Junie Shumpert. Complementing the songs are monologues by a cast of powerful women\u2019s voices belonging to Taraji P. Henson, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Issa Rae and Regina King, among others.<\/p>\n\n\tTaylor, who recently underwent emergency vocal cord surgery, had earlier trumpeted her return with the release of \u201cLong Time\u201d and \u201cBed of Roses.\u201d Those accompanying videos, both of which feature her beau, actor Aaron Pierre, count 2.2 million and 1.2 million views, respectively, on YouTube.<\/p>\n
