<i>"Maybe it's the liquor/maybe it's the song ... don't know what it is/maybe I'm in love"</i>, synger den amerikanske r&b-sangerinde Teyana Taylor på "Maybe", en skæring fra denne debut. Teyanas mentor er Kanye West, og det er hans label GOOD Music samt legendariske Def Jam Records der står bag Teyanas debut. Uden at være banebrydende er det her en solid mainstream-r&b udgivelse, der fokuserer på kærlighedens op- og nedture. Chris Brown, Fabolous, Pusha T og Yo Gotti rapper med undervejs.

"There's evidence that she has studied the classics, like the point in "Broken Hearted Girl" where she quotes Teena Marie, and the quietly dazzling, Janet Jackson-like way in which she conveys longing throughout "Request." At the same time, she leaves a mark of her own with this, one of 2014's superb debuts".

"Ultimately, VII is a fine contemporary R&B album that captures the ups and downs of love. It doesn't break new ground in the least, but continues to make this tried-and-true subject matter of R&B interesting and as always, relatable. Arguably, the biggest con of VII may be its lax promotion and the fact Taylor isn't a household name yet. VII is an album that grows more magical with each listen".
