As any seasoned Real Housewives star knows, it pays – often quite literally – to have multiple hustles.

And for both Candiace Dillard and Drew Sidora it’s a memo that they are well-acquainted with.

On their respective shows, the ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ and the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ viewers have seen both ladies pursue their musical dreams.

With season 15 of RHOA underway, Sidora is making a renewed effort to make a mark as an artist.

So, who better to team up with than Dillard?

On the latest episode of the hit Bravo series, the pair were seen teaming up on a remix of the song ‘Affirmations’ from Dillard’s debut album ‘Deep Space.‘

Christened ‘Affirmations Pt. II,’ the track has now been released officially.

With talent and success as towering as Toni Braxton‘s, classic anthems are stacked in abundance. Rare gems also shine with equal luminosity – and this week’s From The Vault salutes one of the diva’s most resonating. Today we toast ‘Spanish Guitar.’

Housed on the superstar’s 2000’s comeback album ‘The Heat,’ the track was penned by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster. 

The duo’s reunion with Braxton was notable given that they collectively crafted her signature smash ‘Un-Break My `Heart.’

Ever versatile, Braxton drew on the seductive cut to showcase another facet of the LP following the explosive lead hit single ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough’ and the sassy second single ‘Just Be a Man About It.’

An air of the familiar also defined its simple yet effective video, which was directed by Billie Woodruff – who helmed the visual for ‘Un-Break My Heart’ and many more for Braxton.

Interestingly, the track wasn’t fully serviced to US audiences and instead functioned as an international single for the project. A fact that undoubtedly factored into its #98 peak on the Billboard Hot 100.

Perhaps overshadowed by the enormity of ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough’ worldwide, the release didn’t fare much better abroad (beyond a #1 peak in Poland).

Still, some semblance of success would manifest when the HQ² dance remix hit #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs tally.

From our vantage point, this stellar offering shines in every incarnation and reminds that Ms. Braxton is one of one.

Your thoughts?
