Tamar Braxton is making a comeback. The Grammy-nominated singer has announced her upcoming new single, “Changed.”
In an Instagram post, Braxton revealed four different cover art for the new single with the news. She asks fans to help in its selection.
A release date for “Changed” has yet to be announced.
Editor’s note (March 14): Tamar Braxton will release her new single this Friday, March 17. She selected slide one as the official cover art.
“Changed” will mark Braxton’s first proper single since “My Man,” which was released as the lead offering for 2017’s Bluebird of Happiness. The latter track peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart.

Braxton had no intentions of releasing another album or new music following Bluebird of Happiness.
But, in 2020, she returned with “Crazy Kind of Love,” which was attached to the film True to the Game 2, in which she starred. The Whitney Houston-influenced song reached No. 2 on the Adult R&B list, making it her seventh top-ten single.
It’s unclear if “Changed” will be the lead single from Braxton’s much-anticipated album or another standalone track.
Braxton had a hiccup in her plans to release an album. In 2021, she told Entertainment Tonight’s Brice Sander that not one but two albums were in the works. She even touted the records as her “super best work yet.”
A year later, Braxton went to Instagram to celebrate the tenth anniversary of her sophomore album, Love & War. She mentioned that a recorded album had mysteriously disappeared in that same post.

“Trust me putting out new music hasn’t been easy for me- although an ENTIRE project was ready and then vanished into thin air,” she wrote.
With all that, Braxton’s new single “Changed” could be the first product from the new album’s recording process.
Before and after the success of “Crazy Kind of Love,” Braxton has stayed in the mix with new music.
Fall 2018, Braxton went in the vault and released the following music videos from different album cycles: “The Makings of You,” “Love It,” “Wanna Love You Boy,” and “Pieces.”
In 2021, she appeared on Maverick City Music’s Jubilee: Juneteenth Edition (“Sunday Morning“) and Elijah Blake’s The Neon Eon (“Time and Space“).
Braxton’s 2012 single “Love and War” was certified platinum, with more than one million equivalent units sold last fall. It made her first song release to be awarded by the RIAA.
Most recently, Braxton joined Dish Nation as one of its new co-hosts.
Up next for Braxton is Queens Court. The ten-episode Peacock original series starring Braxton, alongside veteran singer Nivea and reality star and entrepreneur Evelyn Lozada, is designed to help them find love and happiness. Power couple Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete will assist in the match matching.
Queens Court airs on March 16 via Peacock.
