I am so happy for singers Toni Braxton and Babyface. The pair nabbed a Grammy win for "R&B Album Of the Year" 'Love, Marriage
& Divorce'. The album faced Norwegian R&B singer Jarle
Bernhoft, jazz pianist Robert Glasper, soul-pop crooner Aloe Blacc
and Sharon Jones. Aloe Blacc had a MAJOR year, so this category was
really competitive.
Fans
of the Braxton Family Values reality show will remember that the 46 year old songstress almost walked away from the music industry citing that the fact that her heart
wasn't in it anymore. It was her longtime producer and friend
Babyface who persuaded her otherwise. She told the LA Times
last year - "I wasn't using my voice — I was using the voice
others told me to use. It was a dark period. But [Babyface] was the
person who snapped me out of it. He said, 'Toni, you're forgetting
you're an artist. Stop being a business manager and tell people your
story.'
Such sweet redemption! Congrats Toni & Babyface!
