The bad lipping, the facial expressions, the awkward "sexy" moment with her husband, I CAN'T BREATHE!

Finally listened to the album snippets. I liked Holding On, Dwly, Need It In My Life and Crash & Burn.
I don't think this is as good as Tamar's album but the material is a little similar, tbh. It's crazy that Tamar had such a great label situation for her project and Traci's old auntie self got an album that isn't even that much worse on an indie label with no push.

Disregarding the disastrous performance, I actually like the song. What's the name of it?

All jokes aside, Need It in My Life needs to be her next single.

That performance was a wreck, she clearly is not ready to be an artist. I'm just shocked she has an album out this quick. I'd be surprised if she sold 2-3k. $9.99 is a bit pricy for someone of her caliber just coming out, I definitely would not buy the album. They should have priced it around $5.99.

I like Tracy the personality on the reality show, she is cool peoples. However singing is still a profession that requires singing and if you can't sing (unless someone can show me receipts) please don't make a mockery of it. Cut hair, do tv, do your radio show, sing background for Trina Braxton ( dont get me started on her), so many things she is good at but leave singing alone.
The autotune lead single, the horrible lipping. I can barely take lipping from musical icons like Mariah, Celine and Beyonce. However they have already proven to be able to sing.
I'm not buying this album nor am I downloading this auto tuned lead single. That s**t might work for them pop acts but i expect real singing or entertainment value from my r&b girls.

Yeah, I thought I'd be able to tolerate it based on the clips, but the amount of autotune used on this album is just embarrassing. It's such a distraction from the songs because it sounds like a old white woman trying to do an impression of Toni Braxton.

Traci Braxton Talks Going Solo, Her Unique Sound, Kissing Her Husband In the Mouth, More [EXCLUSIVE]September 29, 2014 VIDEO: singersroom.com/content/2014-09-29/Traci-Braxton-Talks-Going-Solo-Her-Unique-Sound-Kissing-Her-Husband-In-the-Mouth-More-EXCLUSIVE/Although she is just now releasing her debut solo album, Traci Braxton has all the pieces to be successful: She’s good looking, has a distinguished voice and sound, and has vibrant and welcoming personality. We caught up with the outspoken Braxton Family Values and Marriage Boot Camp star recently, and she spoke about her upcoming debut, Crash & Burn, how reality TV aided in its release, her sound, how she loves to kiss her husband in the mouth and more. Check out the video above and/or read our excerpts from the clip below: On Performing Without Sisters: It feels great. I was kind of strange at first because I’m always with my sisters, so now it’s like ‘OK! Traci, you can do this.’ I give a whole lot of energy. On Toni Opening Doors For All Sisters: I thank God that Toni opened the doorway for us, and [being] on tour with us, doing backgrounds and things like that; It just prepared us. It prepared each and every last one of us for our life and our own music. On Being Unique: The most unique thing is I have my own sound, I have my own voice. A lot of people say, ‘well, she’s no Tamar, she’s no Toni.’ Right, I’m Traci… and I’m different. On Single “Last Call” and Personal Relation: “Last Call” related to me when I did ‘Marriage Boot Camp.’ I was going through all this with my husband… His infidelity happened in the beginning of our marriage. We’ve been married for 18 years, and together for 22 years, so in the beginning of our marriage, he went out there, I got mad, I went out there, because I wanted to get him back. I thought I forgave him, but I actually didn’t, and so that’s why I went on ‘Marriage Boot Camp.’ One of the writers saw ‘Marriage Boot Camp,’ and saw me talk about it and basically wrote the song… That song identified with my life because of the things that I was going through at home that I didn’t even realize I was still upset about. On ‘Marriage Boot Camp’ Help: It helped a lot because now I just love kissing him in the mouth. I love it! Our communication skills sucked so bad, because I was holding on to some old past that I didn’t even discuss with him… If I went to him and had that kind of conversation, I think It would have been so much better. I get mad with him and won’t say nothing. Now, when I’m upset with him, Imma tell you… It’s so much better. On Advice For Struggling couples: You have to compromise… But if you feel as though you can’t work it out, don’t stay there. Mine is working out and I love staying there because I love kissing him in the mouth... He’s a great kisser and it helps. On What To Expect On Debut Album, ‘Crash & Burn’: You should expect some laughter, dancing, life experiences; everybody could relate with my first album. I’m really excited about it. I’m doing a duet with Raheem DeVaughn; Tank wrote a song, and my brother, he wrote a song. On TV Aiding in The Album’s Release: I think TV helped in my decision of doing an album because for so long I’ve been trying to go back and trying to be a solo artist. I got a lot of people saying ‘you don’t sound like Toni, I need you to sound more like Toni’; I’m not Toni. This time, I actually had my manager, Cliff Jones, hear me at the studio… Cliff was like… ‘we getting ready to do this project, you going to be a singer.’

#6 on iTunes R&B and #67 on the main chart. 5-10k first week would be an accomplishment for her.

I haven't seen the full episode yet, but apparently on the last episode of BFV, Toni and Tamar got into some kind of argument when Toni totally owned Tamar by telling her "I paved the way for you." That has led to a shadefest between Traci and Tamar.

Omg Tamar!?@? Grl that's your sister. Edit: OK I went to her timeline and didn't see it. Either she deleted it or its photoshopped. I did notice she didn't plug Traci's album but no harm there I suppose.

Tamar's not even one to talk. She may not use the amount of auto-tune that Traci does, but pitch correction is her best friend.

It doesn't matter if she sounds a mess that's her damn sister. When all of the fans, fame, and sales go away who's going to be there? Her fans? She shaded the hell out of Toni and now she's using social media to rally her fans. That last episode was so sad because you can clearly see fame is tearing them apart and it's not even worth it.

The first couple of tracks on this record have left me pleasantly surprised. The vocals are good and the production is solid (I mean it's EOne). I'm not mad yet.
Regarding Tamar, I'm still side-eyeing her for releasing her single on Traci's release day! Could yall imagine if Toni had released that 'Hurt You' record the day the Love and War album came out?! Tamar would still be seething about that. I hope they call her out on it, that was triflin.

Will be interesting to see Traci's numbers. I'm guessing 2500.

I was expecting last week's episode to at least mention her album release. Her label should have waited a bit for "Last Call" to get more play on urban AC before releasing it as well. I didn't understand pushing up the release date either. Did she promote on any large platform?
