March 17 may be Tamar Braxton‘s birthday, but it looks like she’s the one handing out gifts.

After ample teasing over the last year, the youngest of the Braxton clan has finally lifted the lid on new music – her first official release since cuts found aboard 2017’s ‘Bluebird of Happiness’ album (excluding features, soundtrack, and specialty offerings).

Titled ‘Changed,’ the tune – which incorporates elements of SWV‘s classic ‘Rain‘ – tells the tale of a love gone all sorts of wrong.

“I thought you were the man of my dreams / So how the hell was I wrong? / I gave you all of me, oh / Boy it coulda been you / I thought you were the guy of my dreams,” Braxton croons the Donald “Hazel” Sales-produced cut.

A fitting tie-in to the GRAMMY-nominated diva’s current reality show venture ‘Queens Court’ (which she recently spoke to That Grape Juice about in a sizzling exclusive), hop inside to hear ‘Changed’ in full.
