After capturing not only the attention of music lovers worldwide, but also securing a special shout out from the queen herself, Erykah Badu, our client, pianist, singer, songwriter and producer, Reggie Braxton is remixing and re-releasing his debut project, “The Brax-Tone Experience,” a luxurious jazz infused, heart caressing collection of original and timeless R&B singles.
The re-release, which also features his debut single, a velvety cover of Erykah Badu’s “Next Lifetime,” will include additional singles: “Take Me Away,” a John Legend remake, Toto’s classic “George Porgy;” and a new rendition of Badu’s “Next Lifetime” remixed by Badu’s very own musical director, Grammy nominated, ASCAP and Billboard award winning composer/producer, Norman 'Keys' Hurt. In fact, Hurt has remixed the entire Brax-Tone Experience project.
Reggie’s musical journey makes for great conversation. A native Detroiter, music is deep in his DNA. His grandmother sang the bluesprofessionally, and his cousin, Melvin Franklin, was one of the original Motown Temptations.
