#ThrowbackThursday: Tamar Braxton's "Love and War" - don't call it a comeback! (IMED 1359.001 Post #11)

In honor of the fact that I’m writing yet another post on a Thursday, I’m going to do another #ThrowbackThursday review of one of my favorite albums of the past. This week, I’ve decided to review some of my favorite tracks from Tamar Braxton’s highly anticipated sophomore album “Love and War.” Tamar Braxton has made a pretty seamless transition from background singer to her superstar sister, Toni Braxton, to a career and success of her own. She makes it no secret that her being able to live out her dreams is attributed to the success of two hit reality shows (“Braxton Family Values,” “Tamar&Vince”). From there, she went on to release her sophomore album, which debuted at number two on the Hot 200. Her album’s greatness didn’t surprise me, however, because one thing Tamar can do is sing. 



“The One” - serving as the second single to the project, this song just evokes a great feeling. This record talks about how once you’ve found the one, nothing else matters. There’s no greater feeling than knowing the person you love not only feels the same way about you, but has your back. The song samples, which adds a bit of hip-hop flare. 



“All The Way Home” - serving as the third single to the project, this song explores feelings after an argument with your significant other. In this beautiful, heart-felt ballad, Tamar croons about having to leave to let off some steam. On her way back, she’s thinking about her man the whole way. This track stands out simply because Tamar’s vocal delivery is immaculate. 



“She Did That” - this record gives you a little break from the R&B ballads, and makes you tap your foot a bit. This swagger anthem is Tamar’s flashy record where she flaunts a bit. This song is definitely suitable for dancing. 



“Pieces” - another ballad, this song talks about wanting a person as a whole. You don’t want a little bit, you want them to commit whole-heartedly. This is another stand out track for me because Tamar showcases her vocal prowess.
