The as-yet-untitled album looks to be Toni’s most powerful and personal musical statement to date. Braxton personally chose to collaborate with a veritable who’s-who of red-hot producers and songwriters, including Frank E (Madonna, T.I., Plies, Flo Rida), Steve Mac (Leona Lewis, Il Divo), Lucas Secon (Britney Spears, The Pussycat Dolls), Harvey Mason & Oak (Chris Brown, Joe, Mario), Troy Taylor (Trey Songz, Kevin Lyttle), Dapo Torimiro (John Legend, David Archuletta, Brandy), and David Foster (Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion). What’s more, the album features a guest appearance from Toni’s new Atlantic labelmate, R&B/hip-hop sensation Trey Songz, who lends his distinctive vocal stylings to the aforementioned single, “Yesterday.”
Make sure you grab a copy of Jordin Sparks’ sophomore album, BATTLEFIELD TODAY!! Dapo wrote/produced the track, “No Parade” along with Oscar-nominated songwriting duo Scott Cutler and Anne Preven (“Listen,” sung by Beyoncé Knowles in the 2006 film Dreamgirls.) Dapo is credited with producing, engineering, programming, guitar, keyboards, and background vocals. After their studio session, Jordin Tweeted that she would like to sing a duet with Dapo!
