LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE, which will be released Feb. 4, is a long time coming for Toni Braxton and Babyface, who share an all-time total of 16 Grammy Awards® between them.  The album celebrates the strong bond that has been in place between the two artists ever since their first duet on Toni’s 1992 debut, “Give U My Heart,” the R&B smash co-written and co-produced by Babyface (from the Boomerang movie soundtrack).

For Babyface, LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE will be his first new studio album in nearly seven years, since Playlist (released September 2007), which hit the Top 10 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart on the strength of his rendition of James Taylor’s “Fire & Rain.”  For Toni, LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE will be her first new studio album in nearly four years, since Pulse (May 2010), the #1 R&B album containing the hit single “Yesterday” featuring Trey Songz.

About Toni Braxton:

The distinctive, sultry vocals of six-time Grammy Award®-winning recording artist Toni Braxton, singer, songwriter, record producer, and philanthropist, have been celebrated internationally ever since she was first introduced to the world by Babyface and L.A. Reid in 1992.  Her self-titled debut album released the next year was a 10 million-selling phenomenon that generated Toni’s first Grammys® in 1994, for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal (“Another Sad Love Song”).  The album’s longevity led Toni to win her second Best Female R&B Vocal Grammy® the following year (for “Breathe Again”).  Her second album, Secrets arrived in ’96, and history repeated itself with 15 million worldwide sales.  At the Grammy Awards® in 1997, Toni became only the second woman in history (beside Dionne Warwick) to win Best Female Pop Vocal (“Un-break My Heart”) and Best Female R&B Vocal (“You’re Makin’ Me High”) in the same year.  She returned to the Grammy® podium in 2001, to claim another Best Female R&B Vocal award (“He Wasn’t Man Enough,” from the double-platinum album The Heat).

Into the millennium, Toni blossomed into an acting career with Broadway musical roles in Beauty and the Beast and Aida, and a dramatic turn in the Lifetime movie Twist of Faith.  She and her sisters currently enjoy huge success in Braxton Family Values, one of WE tv’s flagship reality series, which returns for a fourth season in November 2013.  Raising her two sons Denim and Diezel, Toni balances her career demands with the high priorities of family, heath, public service, and charity work, particularly on behalf of the two diseases that have impacted her family directly: She is living with Lupus and her youngest child is living with Autism.  Early detection and intervention has helped both Braxtons to be role models on how to live normal lives with these conditions.  Toni is also a proud spokesperson for Autism Speaks.
