Toni Braxton Album Due in February

October 30, 2009

After a headlining show in Las Vegas and a stint on “Dancing with the Stars,” Toni Braxton is returning to music with her first album in over four years. Now signed to Atlantic Records, the Grammy-winning R&B superstar will unveil her sixth studio album on February 2, 2010.


“Atlantic Records has a rich heritage of great soul voices, from Ray Charles to Aretha Franklin, from Otis Redding to Roberta Flack,” stated Atlantic Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman. “Last year, we had the rare opportunity to bring another R&B icon into the Atlantic family, and for me it was an opportunity of a lifetime. Toni Braxton is not only one of the greatest voices of all time, but she is a charismatic superstar with an incredible list of achievements.”

The as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2005’s Libra features collaborations with Frank E (Madonna, T.I., Plies, Flo Rida), Steve Mac (Leona Lewis, Il Divo), Lucas Secon (Britney Spears, The Pussycat Dolls), Harvey Mason & Oak (Chris Brown, Joe, Mario), Troy Taylor (Trey Songz, Kevin Lyttle), Dapo Torimiro (John Legend, David Archuletta, Brandy), and David Foster (Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion). Trey Songz also makes an appearance, dueting with his labelmate on the first single “Yesterday.”

A video for “Yesterday” was shot earlier this month in Los Angeles by filmmaker Bille Woodruff, known for directing “Un-Break My Heart” and “He Wasn’t Man Enough.”

Please please PLEASE don't do that dried out, lame R&B bullshit that is bombarding the airwaves for the past 10 years. Stick to what you do best in music.

I hope she goes back to her sound on her first 3 albums. She lost me with the last 2 albums, even if some of the non released tracks were well done.

I hope the new album is great and not on some trying to be hip shit, lol

"Yesterday, the lead single from the CD. The opening chords sound vaguely familiar.

Toni needs to leave shit hop alone and make a genuinely *soulful* R&B album.Her best album is her debut.It was warm,soulful and unpretentious...it actually sounds more "mature" than the whack,shit hop stuff she does nowadays.

Love me some Toni Braxton, She always gets my money no matter what. Still the sexiest woman in the music biz.

Why is she wearing an underwear in this picture. Those "sexy" ladies are getting very boring.

As for the song, if there wasn´t written Tony Braxton, I´d believe it was Rihanna.

I love her first album. I wish she´d make music like that. Where´s Babyface BTW? Is he still making music? We need him back.

The song isn't bad, but I feel like I've already heard it before. I think she has a nice jazzy voice and should have moved more into that direction.

The only time Toni lost me was w/ The Heat. Hoping it'll be good (not listening to the posted track, don't feel like it @ the moment)...

I liked about half the songs on The Heat, I didn't like it as much as Secrets though

I downloaded 1 song from The Heat - an instrumental Secrets was half good, I liked the last one though most people didn't. I'll stick w/ Toni as long as it's not totally stupid.

if it's an instrumental, are you talking about The Art Of Love? That is such a smooth track

Groovy track isn't it?

imo...she can sound like whatever the hell she wants to..imma still watch the video.

Her 1st 2 Cd's were the BEST!!!!!
BTW- Any production from Keri Lewis (her hubby, formerly of Mint Condition)?????
