The song ultimately intensified the excitement for her upcoming album and Braxton has been retweeting the tweets of support from fans who already have the single on repeat.
Braxton will tour North America this spring to promote "Sex and Cigarettes." Details on the locations, dates, and tickets should be announced soon. The icon is not letting her ongoing battle with lupus get in the way of bringing her new music to her fans.
She recently told People that "I feel so blessed because the doctors told me I would never be able to perform, I would never be able to travel or anything, but, you know, whole different plan for me."
Braxton even gushed about singer Selena Gomez, who continues to perform despite her lupus. She says, "It's energy to sing! I don't know how she does it. Some days, if I'm having a bad day and I still have to do a show, it's a lot of, "You sing" to the audience."
Her most recent solo album "Pulse" was released back in 2010. The R&B singer has not been totally absent from the music scene from that point up to the announcement of "Sex and Cigarettes" though.
Back in 2014, she teamed up with Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds for their critically acclaimed album collaboration "Love, Marriage, and Divorce." During that year, she also joined Broadway musical "After Midnight" as a special guest star with Babyface before releasing her memoir titled "Unbreak My Heart."
