Broken Record is pretty much the ONLY song I don't use at all. It's legitimately boring. Never is a close second but I think I like the lyrics so I pay some attention to it. Everything is else is beyond amazing. Free Fallin's vocals give me goosebumps. Several times on this album I feel something that I don't usually feel from these hollow singers nowadays. Like I said before, only Mariah currently gives me that feeling. I am obsessed with Circles and Simple Things and I Love You is very nice. If I Don't Have You, while sung at the utmost top of her range, is still a jam. I NEVER thought I could feel this way about Tamar Braxton. At this point, I like her more than Toni. She can always utilize some pitch shifting in the studio but I dont think Tamar will go down that road. Please don't ever quote me again. Thanks!

Just took another run through the highlights of this album. The sound of her recorded voice gives me SO much life! Edit: Was gonna double-post but figured I would stick to Pulse rules and just utilize the edit feature. Anyway, Circles is Grammy-worthy.

King is SUCH a beautiful song. I will watch that performance later but I'm sure I will love it, as I have come to love this messy woman. Girl King is such a WOW moment for me. Hail Tamar.

You need to get some Q tips on them ears. You're a Caucasian older male from Europe why all of a sudden have you switched how you type now that you're discussing a urban act? I'm here for all but not this post how you always post not what you think is urban unless you're always about that life.

And please dont try to pidgeonhole Tamar because she has universal appeal. Listen to King, she is far more than just "an urban act"

...Tamar Braxton starts at No. 5 with her latest album, Calling All Lovers, bowing with 43,000 units (38,000 in pure album sales). Her last studio effort, 2013’s Love and War, debuted and peaked at No. 2 with 114,000 copies sold in its first week.[/quote][/quote]
DAMN this is sad, but that's Epic for you. Tamar had some to plug her album in between all she does, neither Epic or Streamline were here for it.

This is ALL WRONG and all started with If I Don't Have You out of date ass and that half ass news paper cover, thinking she had a hit. SMH, this is what should've happened:
- "ASAP" should've been the FIRST single to play off the Lil steam she had from "Let Me Know" at urban/con. radio. It gives me "Body Party" vibes and they should've played off that feel for radio and the clubs. Releasing IMMEDIATELY after the Real shut down production. Then, multiple appearances and a big ass video release party, teasing snippets leading up to the party. It should've debut on live TV as well, like IIDHY, but would've been better. Next should been an exclusive with some big ass blog or something, giving a deeper look in to the album (and the meaning behind all these boring ass songs), then a huge listen party (she had one this summer but nobody but her Instagram followers were there, and who the fuck are they?) Now, "Sex Over Nonsense" shouldve been an exclusive Vevo and iTunes track, with a remix with an urban male feature, somebody who's hot at radio. Maybe a performance for the track to push steam behind the album. Now the OFFICIAL SECOND SINGLE, haft to something upbeat, even though the Braxton girls love their ballads, an upbeat track was needed for this album at radio to level shit "Catfish" was and would still be perfect. It should've been pushed at radio like a motherfucker with live appearances as well, where they pass out t-shirts and posters to get ppl excited. This song is like her version of "Irreplaceable" and should've been treated that way instead of being rushed out. Since she had an interview at VH1 headquarters this summer, perfect time to drop the video off as well as the release date and promo pics. By this time, she would've had 2 hits at radio, would've been on everybody show and on everybody mind. Since the video for "Angels & Demons" was shot in July, it would've been in holding to drop for when she can't promote the album due all this other shit. But "Free Falin" would've fit perfect as a 9/11 tribute since that's the date she really wanted. By 9/01, release release the cover and tracklist, along with "Free Fallin" and work that shit at pop radio like "Halo". With a moving video, tributing 9/11, getting ppl to take interest in the album. Come 9/11 release the album with all kinds of merchandizing. While she she was at GMA, we would've pluged "Free Falling" and the album. And every night during DWTS we plug a commercial during the show, also keep the performance at The Real. The "Angels & Demons" video would've been out right before the real and played on the real, #GetThatPromo.

Tamar was officially placed on "old school" or "thro back" radio where they ONLY play artist from the 70's & 80's. Epic/Sony/Streamline did not even try to push the single, they knew. Tamar has to stop trying to replicate Mariahs 90's career (cause Mariah herself has failed at that) and get with the times. That song should've have been left over, even DaInternz agreed that "ASAP" would be a better lead single (and they produced both songs!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I dont really judge a song by its chart success or lack there of. I just like the song. I like ASAP too but I find If i dont have you the better of those two. And I think there are much better songs on the album than that. How would Makin love fare in the US as a single ?

If I Don't Have You is lack luster, even the producer said the song it should not have been the first single. Tamar can't even sing it live, and after the one live performance of it, paid it dust. No matter how anyone tries to dress it up, that song set the album steam waaayy back. Tamar NEEDS a hit record cause come on, the road from Love and War to Calling All Lovers gas been the worst with the rumors, Instagram memes, beefs, etc. This was her time to put the spotlight back on her music and her, her label and team failed, that's why the album is at 47,000 now.

All I need left from this album era is a video for "Catfish," her to win DWTS, and perhaps her own headlining tour.

I'm still trying to get into Coming Home but its so boring, like OH MY GOD!!!! & I be damn if I pay "I Love You" childish ass ANY attention, sound like Logan produced that damn mess, I swear I can remake the whole song with an iPhone and a keyboard. This album sssoooo R&B there's nothing to do with it, that's why "Catfish" was just thrown out at the last minute to try and pick up mainstream interest. Love And War was a much more versatile and marketable project!
