Tony Braxton Debuts "Yesterday" Ft. Trey Songz

She's back and turning up the heat! For a while now, fans have been waiting for the sultry diva Toni Braxton to drop a new single "Yesterday" from her upcoming sixth studio album, "Pulse," which will be dropped sometime in February 2010. After much leaked material, Braxton is giving ESSENCE.com readers a first listen, and premiered a music video for the remix version of her new single featuring Trey Songz on BET's popular The Wendy Williams Show on Friday, to help the track become a hit among the R&B fans.
"Yesterday" is the first official single from the album and is produced by DJ Frank-E and released September 29 first time under Atlantic Records after four years in hiatus, following 2005's "Libra". The original song was signature Braxton. Big vocals, slow beats and sexy undertones. But, in a bid to pump up the hype post-Vegas gig and pre-comeback, the record label attempted to gloss it over with a mid-tempo beat.
Filming the music video for the single started on October 8 in Los Angeles with director Bille Woodruff. Braxton taking full advantage of her newly single status had cameos from several hot basketball players, include Shannon Brown and Ron Artest from the LA Lakers, playing her romantic opposite. In video, the sultry singer and former 'Dancing with the Stars' diva is sizzling hot and playing a piano with a small wig and finds the strength to move on after finding her boyfriend Brooke Hogan cozying up to another woman, all the while exchanging vocals with a nearby Songz. The six-time Grammy winner is definitely showing how to be sultry and classy at the same time. She flexed her versatility donning different wigs in each scenario and looked exceptionally beautiful in every take. Her voice is still a powerful sensation which makes us feel like she wasn't gone for "Seven Whole Days." Adding Songz was an interesting cougar-licious mix! Their harmony is definitely apparent and compliments each other.
Braxton has enjoyed a successful musical career and with one of the most distinctive and recognizable voices in contemporary music, She returned to the international marketplace. Both "Yesterday" and "Pulse" have huge significance in the career of this popular singer as she is making a comeback in the music world after a long break of five years. She has tried to put in her best effort to make her new work successful and is also expected to earn her fame. The R&B star present the award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist at American Music Awards last Sunday, and is set to perform "Yesterday" at the BET/Centric presents Soul Train Awards tomorrow night at 9:00pm on BET.
