New Video: Toni Braxton – ‘Deadwood’

Published: Friday 6th Oct 2017 by Sam

Toni Braxton is celebrating her 50th birthday early with the debut of the video for ‘Deadwood.’

The scintilating single is the first to be taken from the legend’s album ‘Sex & Cigarettes’ – which is her first solo body of work in seven years.

Longtime collaborator Billie Woodruff directs the monochrome clip, which finds Braxton sad but resilient.

Watch below…

Simple, but effective. We continue to be all sorts of buzzed for Ms. Braxton’s album. She’s consistently consistent, yet seems to be the most musically and topically secure than she has been in a long while. She says her new LP will be serve up “grown and sexy” and this is a solid first swing.

      Sorry but you don’t know what you are talking about!

    Wow, this song sounds so much better this time around! It’s only my second listen, ‘Deadwood’ didn’t grab me so much right away! Leave it to THE Toni Braxton to make something grow on you! Toni always looks stunning in her videos, some shots may look a little cheap, but overall, Toni’s presence makes up for everything!

    One of those few occasions when I like the song more after watching the video. It really suits it. Toni was lost during the 00s imo. Just following trends. Her last two albums are way more her, and so were the 90s of course. She looks amazing for 50 in the video.

      Libra was a classic Toni record. It was the record label that did not promote the album. Even the songs that did not make the album for Libra were hot.

      • RoyalKev October 6, 2017

        I love Libra! ‘Take this Ring’, ‘Please’, ‘Midnite’ and ‘Long Way Home’ slay!

      • eric October 7, 2017

        I’m always listening to Libra. It sounds even better with all the bonus tracks and unreleased songs.

    • @Nate October 6, 2017

      Yup. LIBRA had many bops. Shadowless(my fav, the hook is everything) could have been her Unbreak my heart p2.

  8. HOWYOULIKEIT October 6, 2017

    I like the song most of all. Why isnt she performing it live?

  9. Jasmine October 6, 2017

    Toni is looking and sounding great. I just wish somebody would give her a smash single. This song is a grower and it has not grown on me het which is not a goid sign.

    • Bam October 6, 2017

      She’s had smash singles the problem is mainstream radio don’t play no one over 40 unless you’re Mariah or JLo, and even they have trouble.

  10. Jason October 6, 2017

    Queen Braxton!! She’s such a timeless talent!! ❤️?❤️

  11. Bam October 6, 2017

    Love it yess

  12. Livi Rolle October 6, 2017

    Super fan of Toni F@&kin’ Braxton however why does she go with Billie W. to do her videos. I hate his work he always makes it seem as if there wasn’t a budget to work with. Come on The Legendary Toni Braxton in front of a screen……..

    • Rohan October 6, 2017

      Billy does awesome work..unbreak my heart!!!

  13. MessyJessy October 6, 2017

    her face looks….off.

  14. steve October 7, 2017

    I wonder how many times this woman has to explain that lupus flares makes her face look that way. Why people just so negative?! It’s a good song. The video gives me Power vibes thought.

  15. eric October 7, 2017

    It feels like the 90s all over again and still current! It’s perfect!! Do it again Toni!!

  16. Toni October 7, 2017

    THE Toni Braxton has done it again!

  17. JENNY JONES!!! October 8, 2017

    S*** SONG. SEEMS LIKE A STRAIGHT BABYFACE PRODUCT BUT IT FEELS LIKE MORE OF A MOVIE SOUNDTRACK SONG FOR A BOND MOVIE VS. A SINGLE FOR AN ALBUM MEANT FOR RADIO PLAY………JENNY JONES!!!!
