Toni Braxton Announces Retirement from Music: “My Heart Isn’t In It Anymore”
Posted by Andy B. under interview , television , videos[6] Comments
R&B may have been rejuvenated in recent years with the help of some fresh-faced crooners—Frank Ocean, The Weeknd and Miguel to name just a few—but the genre will be missing one of its most beloved voices. Appearing on Good Morning America yesterday, Toni Braxton announced her retirement from recording. The veteran songstress, who has sold over 65 million records worldwide and won an incredible eight Grammy Awards in her 20-year career, explained that “her heart isn’t in [music] anymore.” Ms. Braxton later guested on The Wendy Williams Show, where clarified her previous comments. She did, however, reassure her fans that she will continue to perform live “here and there.”
I’m singing in ['Twist of Faith'] but that’s about it for me… I’ll have do shows here and there, but I’m not going to do any albums… I’m falling out of love with it, it’s weird. I don’t know what to say when I hear songs, they don’t impact me.
Watch Toni Braxton’s announcements after the jump…

I genuinely think Toni has fallen out of love with music, it is hard to do something your not passionate about.
I think if she took the Sade route of doing music, she’d be fine.
Sade just makes great albums and disappears. You don’t see her hitting the tabloids for ratchetness she does intimate shows to connect with her hardcore fans and that’s it.
Toni Braxton in her day was an icon just like Whitney and Mariah in our household and it is sad to see her loose her money and passion for the business when she’s supposed to enjoy retirement and award shows kissing her ass for her past achievements.
Just for the record, i’d still smash, she’s a MILF.

“.. .I don’t know what to say when I hear songs, they don’t impact me.”
This is some sort of foreshadowing regarding her own career, no?

She just stop putting in the graft – wanted to stay spending big w/o the sweat. hence bad investments – she’s seen the shortcut – reality TV.
You gotta bring something to the studio besides what the producer does – she hasn’t believed for a long time – you must always start projects dead hungry not resting on gd times of last century!!!
Another Flavor Flav!!!
