New Song: Toni Braxton – ‘Long As I Live’

Published: Friday 9th Feb 2018 by Rashad

A week after dominating television airwaves with the Lifetime-aired ‘Faith Under Fire,’ R&B veteran Toni Braxton‘s back to dominate the R&B scene with some fire of her own.

‘Long As I Live’ – the must-hear second single from her highly anticipated new album, ‘Sex & Cigarettes,’  was delivered this morning as the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Deadwood’ (which hit the top 10 on Adult R&B songs charts).

Will ‘Live’ lift the diva even higher on R&B and Pop tallies? Listen inside and tell us:

Yes, yes, and yes!  For as much as we can say we enjoyed ‘Deadwood,’ the tune admittedly didn’t feel like album kickoff material.  This cut – a shoo-in for admiration from the Urban AC crowd – feels a bit more enticing.  If this is more along the lines of what ‘Cigarettes’ has to offer, we’re certainly intrigued.

Roll on album #7 Miss Braxton!  We’re waiting.

      I’m buying this track, not just streaming it. Her vocals are as incredible as ever. Extraordinarily well delivered and totally in the pocket. Ms Braxton reminds us of why we have adored her music for the last 29 years!

    YAAAAAAAS TONI!!!! Smooth like honey, love the way this track is arranged, produced, lyrically – yes – just YES! Is that babyface on background vocals? It sounds fresh and confident, from what I’ve heard so far this is a must buy addition to my Toni Braxton album collection ?

    • JC February 9, 2018

      They were making a song on Braxton Family Values and I think this is the completion of that song that she was doing with Babyface

      • Myk February 10, 2018

        Maybe that is a Babyface track. I love it!!

  16. Yonce February 9, 2018

    I love it! It’s so much better than Deadwood imo.

  17. Teflon Boy February 9, 2018

    This is stunning! Toni’s vocals on Deadwood sounded a little too studio manipulated. You can really hear her on this and she sounds incredible.., can’t wait for S** and Cigarettes.

  18. Bitchpleeeeaaaasssezzzzzzzz February 9, 2018

    For a minute I thought that was Prince ????

    • Jasmine February 10, 2018

      Stop being cheap! Buy the song if you like it. If you are broke then stream it free to help her listening numbers.

  19. Ashton February 9, 2018

    OMG I LOVE IT!!!! Such a great R&B song & classic toni!!!

  20. Erica February 9, 2018

    This sounds like she pick up where she left off with that babyface joint album

    • JC February 9, 2018

      It was either on Braxton Family Values or in an interview when she and Babyface were sitting around and he was at the piano they were making a song and I think this is that song when it’s finished

      • Carlitos February 9, 2018

        No, that song that you’re referring to is ‘I Wish.’ That was on their last album together.

  21. Barbara ‘Hunnychile’ Perez February 9, 2018

  22. JOHNVIDAL February 9, 2018

    Am smelling a chart topper

  30. Jim February 16, 2018

    It’s not bad, certainly better than any other garbage on the radio nowadays. I wonder why we don’t get big, huge ballads from singers like Toni anymore though e.g. Breath Again, How Could An Angel Break My Heart, I Don’t Want To. It’s like singers are afraid to do that kind of thing anymore.
