Toni Braxton Follows Prince’s Advice, Goes Independent
Toni Braxton stepped out with her son Diezel to a taping of “The Wendy Williams Show” on Monday. The Grammy-winning singer chatted with the self-proclaimed “Queen of All Media” about returning for a third season of WE tv’s “Braxton Family Values,” her rumored romance with Eddie Murphy (“We’re just friends”), new dance single “I Heart You,” and taking Prince’s advice and releasing her next album Heartstrings & Synagogue Vibes independently.
“I’m listening to Prince,” she told Wendy. “He said, ‘Toni, you should do it yourself. Record companies are great, but the new movement is Internet and put it out all digital and you don’t really need them for that,’ so wish me luck. I’m going out on a limb.”
Toni, who has been named the United Nations ambassador for autism, was also on hand to illuminate the Empire State Building in blue in recognition of World Autism Awareness Month (Toni’s son is autistic).

@Jay, No, it is really titled Heartstrings & Synagogue Vibes. Gemstone was the working title. It’s going to be a double-disc, one disc with music styles she’s familiar with, but the other disc is world music and things in tribute to her Jewish background. She already confirmed this.

I’m glad artists are beginning to wise up. Don’t let the record companies dictate your artistry. Ashanti, now Toni Braxton. They have a BraveHeart.

Good job on going Indie. Record execs are thieves and it’s a shame and a crime how they did her dirty on those first two albums and only paid her $2000 after all those hits. She could go gold with this album and make more money than she did going platinum with record labels. She’s got a good ear for music and I can’t wait to add her next album to my collection.
