Last week was officially a Tamar Takeover!
After many years of anticipation and waiting, Tamar finally released her sophomore album Love And War. Backed by an All-Star team including her husband Vincent Herbert (aka the driving force behind Lady Gaga), Tamar provided her "Tamartian" fans with a mix of full-bodied R&B and club/radio friendly ratchet songs.
The duel sides of Love And War are a clear reflection of Tamar's personal life. As the youngest of the now infamous and talented Braxton family clan, Tamar is known as the extremely fabulous and vocal one. Her catchphrases and desire to "drop it like it's hot" have made fans either love her or love to hate her. Her bold personality is showcased on "Tip Toe", "She Did That", and (the most ratchet and fun song of all) "Hot Sugar".
However, there are two things about Tamar that everyone can agree on: her strong vocals and her solid marriage. Her lead single "Love And War" combines her powerhouse voice and pure emotion for her husband of 5 years. Tamar's niche is clearly good ole R&B and this side of the album does NOT disappoint.
Standout R&B Track: "Pieces"
My personal favorite (and the overall fan favorite on Twitter) is "Pieces". Tamar digs deep and pulls pain from past relationships to pour into the lyrics, which include "I deserve more than just a little part/I don't want nothing if I can't have it all"
Standout "Ratchet Track": "Hot Sugar"
This song is fun, flirty, and fierce. I can picture a dance group doing a nice little number to this one :)
Congrats to Tamar on having the Number 1 Billboard R&B album in the USA!!!
