Are there any details as far as the writers and producers? What type of album is it gonna be? I can't see her doing a straight urban AC album.

[Live Your Life]

The fact that she's signed to a major label and Toni isn't is just wrong.

Streamline/Interscope. But I guess it does help that her husband, Vincent Herbert, is the president of the label.

On the first season of her family's reality show, she mentioned how she wanted to do a song where Lady Gaga would hook ho on one of Tamar's songs. I was like :o .

[Kishi KCM]

Her persona belongs (and should stay on) reality television. I'm not sure she'd have success as a solo artist.

[via press release from TV Land]
ANTHONY ANDERSON, TAMAR BRAXTON, TRINA BRAXTON, KIM COLES, ROBERT FORSTER AND SHERRI SHEPHERD TO GUEST STAR ON TV LAND'S "THE SOUL MAN"

"The Soul Man" Premieres June 20 At 10PM ET/PT Followed By The Season Premiere Of "The Exes" At 10:30PM ET/PT On TV Land

Los Angeles, CA - May 24, 2012 - Tamar and Trina Braxton ("Braxton Family Values"), Anthony Anderson ("Law & Order"), Sherri Shepherd ("The View"), Robert Forster ("Jackie Brown") and Kim Coles ("Living Single") will guest star on the first season of TV Land's new series "The Soul Man," starring Cedric "The Entertainer" and Niecy Nash, premiering Wednesday, June 20 at 10pm ET/PT on TV Land.

Anthony Anderson has been tapped to appear this season as Sweet Brown, Boyce's (Cedric) old music-writing partner. Brown visits St. Louis to help Boyce get over his writer's block for an upcoming sermon, but ends up pulling Boyce back into his old R&B star habits.

Shepherd will guest star as Sherie, Lolli's (Nash) cousin who is always up to no good. Trina and Tamar Braxton will play Rose and Catherine Pinkney, sisters who audition for the church choir only to find out that they are both dating Stamps (Wesley Johnathan), Boyce's handsome younger brother.

Kim Coles makes an appearance as Wanda, a church-going woman who stops by Lolli's salon hoping to get a special shampoo that all the ladies are raving about. Finally, Robert Forster will guest star as Father Ignatius, the head of a St. Louis clergy organization that seems to closely resemble the mob.

"The Soul Man" revolves around R&B superstar-turned-minister Reverend Boyce "The Voice" Ballentine, who was living the high life in Las Vegas at the top of the music charts when he decided to go from soul singer to soul saver. Relocating to St. Louis with his wife, Lolli, and daughter, Lyric (Jazz Raycole), to preach in his father's church, his family isn't exactly eager to give up the fabulous superstar life for a humble one. The sitcom also stars John Beasley ("Everwood") as Boyce's father, and Wesley Johnathan ("What I Like About You") as his brother. "The Soul Man" is a spin-off of TV Land's hit sitcom "Hot in Cleveland."

Cedric "The Entertainer" and Suzanne Martin ("Hot in Cleveland") will serve as executive producers for "The Soul Man," along with Eric Rhone. Emmy(R) Award-winner Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions are also executive producers for "The Soul Man." Keith Cox and Larry W. Jones will be executive producers for TV Land. Phoef Sutton ("Cheers") is the showrunner and Stan Lathan ("The Steve Harvey Show") serves as the director. The series is filmed in front of a live studio audience.

WEtv's site for Tamar & Vince is up!



Ready for more Tamar? Tamar & Vince (working title) is a spin-off of WE tv’s hit original series, Braxton Family Values, where youngest sister, Tamar, has proven to be the show’s breakout star. This new show will follow Tamar in her ongoing pursuit of pop super stardom, with husband Vince Herbert helping and supporting her every step of the way.

In Tamar’s world, anything can happen, but Vince is always there to be the voice of reason, and bring her back down to earth. Viewers will get an inside look at their complicated yet devoted relationship, including how their upscale lifestyle must adjust as Vince recovers from a recent life-threatening health scare.

Tell us what you love most about this outspoken and outrageous music diva! And don't forget to check out her personality page — after all, it really is all about Tamar, right?!

[#LisaRinna]

I hope her music comes out soon. I'm kinda curious to hear it lol

[Musiq]

She can sing, but she has one of those typical reality personalities.

[Sir Benji]

Tamar's pr^essed ass has a major record deal and a spin-off show? This cannot be real life...

Edit: I forgot she was married to Vincent Herbert. That's the only reason she has a record deal

[Musiq]

She can't really be taken seriously. She tries to hard.

I still listen to the Hex Hector remixes to "If You Don't Wanna Love Me." It was a cute song, Toni could have definitely recorded it back in the day.

I look forward to seeing what Tamar brings to the table this time around.

[syrus]

I think her 1st single is dropping later this month.

[stunnedout]

she is not cute.

[Deleted]

^She just overdoes everything. I think she'd be nice looking if she toned down her look by about a thousand notches. She just ends up giving drag Toni Braxton vibes and that is a good look for no one.

[horchata]

Those pipes tho

She certainly can be OTT, but I do love her voice.

[SHOOTER]

Her single is supposed to premiere on the 20th.

[stunnedout]

She has a great voice but she needs to stop acting so over the top and maybe people would respect her talent.

[Rican@]

I wonder if she will try to follow her two sisters' bad footstep or actually release something that can be marketable. We'll see. I am expecting the worst though

[stunnedout]

She is going to give her best Beyonce impression. Dont you worry about that.

[syrus]

I hope they're not planning to drop her single after the first season of "Tamar and Vince" wraps. She is taking way too long.

'Tamar And Vince' Star Calls Upcoming Album 'Ratchet But Classy'
Toni Braxton's baby sister, Tamar, and her 'husbandger' Vince talk to MTV News about that solo record and putting their business on television.
By Rebecca Thomas



Lady Gaga has her Little Monsters, Beyoncé tends to her BeyHive and Rihanna's Navy serves her with pride. And even though Tamar Braxton has yet to drop her promised single or solo album, her fanbase of Tamartians is growing every day.

After years playing backup (literally and figuratively) to '90s R&B powerhouse Toni Braxton, Tamar decided it was time to quit her "doo-wop-pop" gig and strike out on her own. While it helps that she's married to music-industry pro Vincent Herbert, reality TV junkies know that Toni's youngest sis seriously has the goods. (On an episode of WE tv's reality hit "Braxton Family Values," the superstar even proclaimed it an open secret that Tamar had the best voice of the singing siblings.)

Still, with a high-profile "husbandger" committed to managing acts like Gaga and Mindless Behavior, carving out the time to help make Tamar the star she's meant to be hasn't been as simple as you might think. The reality couple and stars of the new spin-off "Tamar & Vince," stopped by the MTV Newsroom recently and — when they weren't cracking us up with their Lucy and Ricky routine — caught us up on the status of the album.

"It was hard because, you know, living with your husbandger and being signed to his label, all of that — conflict of interest — it's a lot," Tamar admitted with a big laugh. "But we really do work well together and I couldn't ask for a better partner."

The larger-than-life performer with a penchant for popularizing her own slanguage (get your life!, have several seats!) let TV cameras document her recording her album, from beginning to end, starting "right after I sign my contract ... writing my record, fighting with Vince about the sound I want." Indeed, three episodes in, viewers have seen Tamar in the studio feeling alternately great and then conflicted about "Get Your Life," a track that sounds something like B at her Sasha Fiercest.

"I just feel like this is the music that I was supposed to make," she said. "My music defines who I am right now as a person: It's fun, it's upbeat, it's opinionated, it's sassy, it's a lil' ratchet a lil' bit but it's classy."

"It's sexy," Vince chimed in.

"It's sexy! Oh, OK, she'll take that," a very amused Tamar, 34, said, speaking in the third person as she often does. "And if these records were not mine, I would want them to be mine, but I'm so lucky enough to have them as mine. And I don't care, if I'm 45 and I work hard and I spin on that cycle like I do, I deserve to drop it like it's hot and pick it back up so, boo!"

Of course, the always over-the-top Braxton shared all of this while hilariously slipping in and out of voices, from sorority girl to hood chick. But don't let the theatrics fool you: Tamar (pron. Tay-mar) has a real message for fans watching the show. And it's what drives her and separates her from the legion of "Wives," exes and girlfriends who've gotten famous off reality TV. She summed it up, "I just feel like it's important for anybody at any age not to give up on their dreams."
