Toni Braxton & Babyface make beautiful music with "Hurt You"

Toni Braxton and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds have for our listening pleasure decided to collaborate once again on an entire album entitled; “Love, Marriage, Divorce” due December 3rd. The first single "Hurt You" is available now everywhere. Motown Records is releasing this album that for a fan like myself has been a long time coming.

The first single "Hurt You" brings us back to both of these artists time in the 1990's with a feel of heartbreak, love and desperation that songs back then "Another Sad Love Song" and "When Can I See You" evoked to us. A collaboration album like this is a classic project that was done more in the 60's and 70's, and 80's and now Braxton/Babyface are bringing it back into style.

I truly hope that everyone that loves a tasteful and truly genuine R&B album takes the time to listen and purchase a copy of this classy album. It is a true thumbs up from this fan who looks forward to hearing more from this duo who make truly beautiful music together. Cheers to these artists that have finally reunited for some great music blending's.

Anna Netrebko sings "Verdi"

Anna Netrebko the famed soprano who has won the world over with her performances at the leading opera houses from The Metropolitan Opera in New York City to the Royal Opera House and Covent Garden. Anna is one true diva by the word who has put her time into her craft and is only improving on it.

The new album entitled "Verdi" is dedicated to the celebrated 200th anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi.

His renowned arias showcase just how much Anna's voice has grown to be more larger and darker where it is true perfection for her to be stepping into this project. The album is released on Deutsche Grammophon which is celebrating Anna' 10th Anniversary being part of the family. It has been five years since Anna has released an album and we are very happy that the time has stopped with the arrival of a new album that is so lush and a perfect blend to showcase the richness of Anna's voice accompanied by the orchestra and the great arias.

Anna Netrebko opens the album with the Lady Macbeth's three arias which is a huge undertaking for any star to do. This star was up for the battle and won and one will have pleasure when hearing the album from start to finish. It is a high quality classical album done with all detail with one of the world's leading living opera divas reigning supreme.
