Motor City's New Maestro: REGGIE BRAXTON Ignites Soulful Sophistication

REGGIE BRAXTON brings an air of sophisticated charm and smooth romanticism to his debut project, "The Brax-tone Experience," masterfully blending timeless R&B vibes with touches of luxurious jazz. Hailing from Detroit—otherwise known as the heart of soulful melody—BRAXTON gracefully captures the spirit of the Motor City, echoing the grandeur of Motown’s illustrious past. Right from the velvety allure of his opening track, a sumptuous cover of Erykah Badu’s “Next Lifetime,” listeners are drawn into a world of refined sensuality, where each note invites intimacy and each melody whispers romance.


REGGIE BRAXTON’s distinctive baritone, accentuated by subtle and seductive falsettos, effortlessly fills the room with warmth. Songs like “Just Like You” envelop listeners in a silky embrace reminiscent of classic soul serenades, while original tracks such as “I Pray It’s You” and “Love Guarantee” firmly anchor REGGIE BRAXTON as a maestro of modern romantic balladry. The latter's chart success highlights his innate gift for creating music that resonates deeply, blending heartfelt emotion with sophisticated musicianship.


Produced by J. Poww and Grammy-nominated Chris “Buddaflywolf” Bivens, and finely polished by Grammy-winning engineer Jezreel Santos, the soundscape is meticulously crafted. Each arrangement shimmers with subtle confidence, highlighting REGGIE BRAXTON’s talent and effortlessly bringing listeners closer to his musical heritage, lovingly nurtured by familial influences like Gladys English’s blues melodies and the iconic bass vocals of his cousin, Melvin Franklin of The Temptations.
