Exclusive: Tamar Braxton Talks New Single, Album, & More!

For years, the name ‘Braxton’ has been synomous with singer Toni.

Yet, after We tv series ‘Braxton Family Values’ hit it big, it’s Tamar who’s been on the lips of everyone and their mom.

The youngest of the Braxton clan, Tamar has been the show’s break-out star, etching words such as ‘dot com’, ‘dot org’, and ‘dot life’ into public consciousness. Now, the 34 year old hopes to etch herself into the favour of record-buyers, as she re-launches her solo career.

That Grape Juice TV‘s Patrick caught up with the singer at last week’s Los Angeles screening of ‘Braxton Family Values’. During their frank chat, Braxton dished on her forthcoming single, sound, and much more. As ever, Tamar was very much Tamar!

Toni Braxton Signs New Management Deal

Things appear to be on the up-and-up for ‘Unbreak My Heart’ belter Toni Braxton. The six-time Grammy winner is not only readying a new season of famed reality show ‘Braxton Family Values’ and rumored to (soon) be rocking Broadway, but now she has landed in headlines after news surfaced of a new management deal.

Billboard reports:

“Los Angeles-based entertainment/production company The Collective has signed Grammy Award-winning singer Toni Braxton and up-and-coming singer/songwriter BC Jean for worldwide career management. The announcement follows the company’s recent signing of singer/actress and Destiny’s Child founding member Kelly Rowland.

Jean, best known for penning the Beyoncé hit “If I Were a Boy,” is currently working on her debut pop/rock album for RCA Music Group/Sony Music.”

Congratulations are in order for both ladies. Here’s hoping the new deal will lead to soon-released new music to bring the ‘Pulse’ back into the songstress’s oh-so-deserving music career!

Toni Braxton Set To Get Foxy As Roxy In ‘Chicago’

Toni Braxton may have faced turbulent times, yet the tide seems to be turning for the soulful baritone. For reliable sources have confirmed to That Grape Juice that the ‘Unbreak My Heart’ singer is on the cusp of signing a lucrative deal to star in the Broadway adaptation of ‘Chicago’.

We’re told the mother of two is to don the iconic stiletto’s of Roxy Hart in the long-running stage-show.

Should the deal be finalised (word has it the ink is all but dry), it would be the latest in a line of Broadway productions the 44 year old has starred in (see: ‘Aida’ and ‘Beauty & The Beast’).

In the meanwhile, fans can look forward to Ms. Braxton in the forthcoming season of ‘Braxton Family Values’ - which returns to screen near you in November. Click here to see the trailer.
