“Tamar” - The Good, the Bad, and the Ridiculous

Many fans think Tamar started her music career as a break-out reality star from “Braxton Family Values” with her 2013 album “Love and War”. A select few Tamartians know there was a body of work before all of that. “Tamar” or some may remember it as “Ridiculous”.

Let’s take a deep dive, shall we?

Any Braxton Family Values fan knows the story of how Toni Braxton was picked out by Babyface and L.A. Reid from the original quintet group “The Braxtons” and left to start her solo career. Nevertheless, Toni Braxton always promised her sisters she’ll come back for them. Indeed, she did with a record deal for the remaining 4 sisters; Trina, Towanda, Traci, and Tamar. Unfortunately, Traci was pregnant at the time of signing and planned to return to the group after her pregnancy.

Then, there were 3. In 1996, Traci, Towanda, and Tamar turned into a trio and released their debut album, “So Many Ways”.  Beautiful yet underrated tracks like “Take Home to Momma” and “Girl on the Side” (based on a true story of how Tamar unknowingly became a side chick) graced the album but did not see the commercial success of a Destiny’s Child or even a Brownstone. However, from Tamar’s lead vocals she showcased in this new trio, she began working with Tricky Stewart and Red Zone Entertainment on an EP in hopes of being noticed by a record label. This led to the future disbandment of The Braxtons and the beginning of Tamar’s solo career with a record deal with DreamWorks. Deja vu?

Now, in the beginning, there was “Ridiculous”, the original titled debut album, and she broke out to the music scene with, some critics will call her “The Parkers” -esque single, “Get None”, released in 1999 produced by Jermaine Dupri, and background vocals sung by Mya. it was an empowering anthem telling men,  “stop trying to use cash to get you some ass because you ain’t gon get none”. No reason why this should not have been a chart-topping success? Yet it was not. Peaking at #59 on R&B Billboard Charts, it failed to catch the attention of radio stations nationwide, and Dreamworks panicked. 

The now-defunct label, Dreamworks, changed the tone of this project and leaned into the sound Tamar’s big sister, Toni Braxton, was known for - the big, R&B ballad. Now, in the new millennium of 2000, Tamar’s new self-titled album “Tamar” led with a Toni Braxton-like follow-up single,  “If You Don’t Wanna Love Me” giving very much Fantasia’s mantra “if you don’t want me, then don’t talk to me”. Shoutout to Latocha Scott from Xscape for co-writing this masterpiece! The single peaked at #89 on R&B’s Billboard Charts and the album was released in the following months charting at #127 on the Billboard 200.

Now, let’s dive into some background with this album. Many people assume Vincent Hubert was her 1st husband. Indeed, he was not. Co-writer of tracks of the "Tamar" album, “Money Can’t Buy You Love” and “Once Again”, Darrell “Delite” Allamby was married to Tamar Braxton briefly between 2000-2003. Despite Darrell being a writer of one of my favorite artists’ hit single “Whatcha Gon Do '' by Link (he’s getting a deep dive, too, so stay tuned), Tamar has claimed severe abuse allegations in that marriage and has publicly shied away from this topic numerous times. Additionally, Tamar has come forward multiple times on how she really wasn’t ready for fame and simply thought she was going to be an 18-year-old Mariah Carey, and simply was not there yet.

Now, with all that being said. I completely understand why Tamar acts as if this album never exists. If my abusive ex-husband was associated with my commercially unsuccessful debut album, I would ignore it as well. However, as artists tend to forget, songs are art. People from all over the world connect to this album and wish she’ll shed some light on some of these gems.

Personally, I learned of this album’s existence in Season 1 of the Braxton Family Values in 2011. At the tender age of 11, I came across “If You Don’t Wanna Love Me” and thought it was a nice song, but it didn’t stick to me like Toni’s records. 10 years passed, and now 21, I went through a situationship break-up and only the REAL know situationship break-ups hurt more than the real ones. Anyway, after I played “Where’s the Good in Goodbye” by the Braxtons to death. I found myself on Tamar’s track, “I’m Over You”, and I played it until I really meant just that. I’m over him. Then, after that situationship, I upgraded to a relationship and played “Miss Your Kiss” by Tamar for the whole 9 months. Then, as I re-evaluated some things in the relationship, I noticed that man was financially irresponsible and incapable of understanding the basic components of chivalry. I blasted “Money Can’t Buy You Love” and “You Don’t Know” to classes senior year. When I finally got the guts to finally break up with him, I played “Get Mine” and knew I would be okay.

In summary, Tamar’s album helped me get through every stage of love in one album. From the beginning to the end. Tamar’s sophomore album was the polar opposite in terms of commercial success. Tamar has mentioned how she was mentally and spiritually ready to receive fame and accolades with the second album. However, I’d love to see Tamar embrace “Tamar” more. A good album doesn't merit success only on Billboard chart positions or award nominations. It’s based on the stories it tells and the people like me who got through tough times with that album. I think the sooner Tamar can accept her personal good and bad memories associated with this album, the sooner fans can see her perform and acknowledge this well-produced and well-written body of work, “Tamar”.

“Toni Braxton” by Toni Braxton

Toni Braxton established herself as a mainstay in contemporary popular music since the release of her eponymous 1993 debut album, “Toni Braxton.”

Album artwork for “Toni Braxton.”

The singer born Toni Michele Braxton (in 1967, Maryland) is the oldest of six children. Toni and her four sisters, Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar, founded singing group The Braxtons in 1989. The group was commercially unsuccessful, but prompted record executive L.A. Reid to sign Toni to a solo contract on his LaFace Records imprint of Arista Records in 1991.

Music video for “Another Sad Love Song.”

Braxton released her self-titled debut in July 1993. The album produced three top-ten pop singles on the Billboard Hot 100: “Another Sad Love Song,” “Breathe Again,” and “You Mean the World to Me.”

It eventually topped the Billboard 200 album chart in February 1994, and weeks later won Grammy Awards at the 1994 ceremony for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for “Love Song,” and in 1995 again in the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance category for “Breathe Again.”

“Toni Braxton”

Following the release of “Toni Braxton,” she achieved global superstardom with the worldwide hit, “Un-Break My Heart.” The signature song earned her another Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and is considered one of the all-time best selling musical recordings by a solo artist at over two million certified copies.
