Traci Braxton’s debut album CRASH & BURN (2014) proved she definitely could sing and handle her own. Of course a Braxton can’t escape that signature tone nor should they want to. However, she carved out a niche for herself that defined a style separate from her sisters.
LAST CALL as the opening single set her up for success. It was mellow paced, clean and custom crafted.
CRASH & BURN is a mix of pop and grown & sexy vibes. I actually could have done without the poppy tracks. That leaned too much into Trina’s shenanigans.
Traci was in her bag on STAY SIPPIN FT. RAHEEM DAVAUGHN, PERFECT TIME (produced by Tank), NEED IT IN MY LIFE & PASSION. Adult Contemporary is her bread and butter.
If I had to rate the overall project, it’s 7/10.
