Having already collected critical acclaim from her dedicated fans, affectionately called #Tamartians, Tamar Braxton‘s latest song – ‘Crazy Kind of Love’ – has seen its arrival quickly followed by the premiere of an accompanying music video.

The tune, found aboard the soundtrack for the soon-to-be-released film ‘True To The Game 2’ (in which the singer stars alongside Vivica A. Fox, Andra Fuller, Rotimi, and more), features a prominent sample of late Pop icon Whitney Houston‘s 1985 #1 hit, ‘Saving All My Love For You.’

Tamartians who have been patiently saving room in their playlists for Braxton, despite the Grammy winner announcing her retirement from music in late 2017 (as we reported here), will be most pleased to see the 43-year-old back in action.
