5 Reasons Why We're Still Playing Tamar Braxton's Album 'Calling All Lovers'

How did Tamar Braxton follow-up with her 2013 successful album Love and War? She did it with amazing versatility, incomparable production and commanding vocals, which is all compressed in her latest LP, Calling All Lovers . The two-time Emmy nominated singer/television host gives us the real on love, sex, hurt, pain and so much more on this soul-driven masterpiece. Taking us to island on the opening number “Angels and Demons,” then back to the 70s on records like “Simple Things” and “Circles.” Other than singing her heart out, she serves listeners with sexy sass on club shakers like “Must Be Good to You,” “Love It,” and “I Love You.” Once again, she samples a great 90s classic and puts her own spin on it with the radio-friendly “Catfish.” Although the promotion for Calling All Lovers seems to have died off, it’s still as relevant as it was on its release day. Wondering why we are still in love with Ms. Braxton-Herbert’s latest album? Here are five reasons we can’t put this CD on the shelf yet. 1. Any Mood Any Time. Braxton is serving R&B Goodness 24/7 on Calling All Lovers. She gives us what we want and more. Ballads like “Broken Record,” “Raise the Bar” and “If I Don’t Have You” puts us right in our feelings, especially when thinking of our significant other(s). She also gives us music to move our bodies. On cuts like “Love It,” “Angels & Demons” and “Catfish,” you can’t help but act a fool -- whether it’s in the bedroom or on the dance floor. When listening to this we experience a bit of heartbreak, love, sex, dance, highs and lows. Braxton gives us options and we appreciate it. https://youtu.be/TxOwq8X3wMo 2. R&B Favorites . Who says R&B is dead? Not on this album. Braxton takes us back to the basics. Records like “Simple Things," Broken Record" and “Circles” can be on repeat constantly. As soon as the music starts and you feel some type of way, that’s how you know it’s more than just a favorite, but rather a classic. Another song we love is “I Love You" because it’s cute, sweet, short and to the point. This is where you let your baby know exactly how you’re feeling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXDQebI4n-s 3. Lyrical Heaven. So you thought you knew what Braxton was talking about? At first we thought the song “S.O.N.” was about her son Logan, but it turns out Braxton is a freak! She doesn’t have time for games or nonsense. She knows what she wants and how she likes it. "We already know you ain't gon' leave / So stop acting like you got the power (oh yeah) / While I'm in the shower (oh yeah) / We already know where you gon' be / Boy stop frontin' and let's make this movie (oh yeah) / Starring this booty," she sings. Other lyrical havens include “Must Be Good to You,” “Free Fallin’” and “King.” https://youtu.be/JFkJ4WojDs4 4. Did Your Hear her Vocals? You hear that girl singing her face off? On songs like “Coming Home,” “If I Don’t Have You” and “Never” we hear her get to the nitty-gritty. She is SAAAANNGGGIN, especially when she gets into her falsetto and whistle register. Braxton isn’t an athlete but she has endurance. The way she is running and holding notes, you know her lungs are over capacity. She may be a super busy mogul and mother but she’s still a R&B Goddess when it comes to serving real vocals all the time. Tamar shows her range but better yet she shows her control and skill. https://youtu.be/MByYq4A34og 5. Making HERstory. Listeners and fans can tell that Braxton gives her all on this album. She’s mentioned on multiple occasions how she feels this is her best work to date, and we don’t disagree. Thanks to this album, we’re able to get "The Real” on Tamar Braaxton. She tells her story of previous pain and heartbreak, which ultimately concludes with her finding her prince and falling in love. When you believe in yourself when no one else does, that’s when your dreams come true and we think, for Braxton, she’s living a happy and blessed life. https://youtu.be/StsoE9AYTvc Calling All Lovers is available in stores and digital retailers now.
