Coming full circle is Toni Braxton's new single entitled Hurt You. On the song with her is the incredibly talented Babyface, the man who gave Tony her start on the Boomerang soundtrack with the big hit Love Shoulda Brought You Home. I have no idea what the name of the album this song is on, all I know is that I'm having a hard time not putting it on repeat.
The vocal layering in this song is amazing and complex. It acts like another instrument that plays along with the bass. The song starts off with a lone piano and those two iconic voices until the rousing chorus comes in. The percussion and the layering make this song sweet and the lyrics are poignant. Just when I thought this song couldn't get any better, in typical Babyface fashion the bridge takes this song to another level.
If the rest of Toni's album sounds as good as this song then she's about to make one hell of a comeback. And I for one cannot wait for her return. Enjoy!
