T: So hurt always goes along with love? Poor guy.ī: Yeah, I think that's part of it. But when it's real love, then it's gonna hurt.

Okay, fill in the blank on this statement, "Love hurts the most when…"ī: Love hurts the most when you really love.
T: And how does a man know when they don't care? Is there something that happens, something that triggers it, a series of things, a conclusion?ī: When you can put La Perla on and it doesn't matter. T: As a man, how do you know when it's time to walk away from love? Sometimes it's challenging with men, they aren't always as cooperative in telling you how they feel.ī: Okay, so keep it sexy. As far as communication, I try to be honest with my feelings and to always acknowledge if there's an elephant in the room. So I work on those things that my mom taught me being a girl, and I think it's just important to keep it sexy. You always have to have on at least some lipstick because it's important that he still finds you attractive, that you still are the woman.

T: But we feel good about that, and I get happy. those bubbles in our tummy and we talk about them all the time.ī: That could be indigestion, but go ahead. I don't know if boys get that but girls do. T: It's different feelings, but the most important thing is that butterflies feeling that girls get. T: How do I know when I'm in love? Let's see, I've been in love so many times. And I think that people will pick it up and there will be themes on this record that everybody will be like, "I know that feeling and I know that story."ī: I have another question for you Ms. I think it translated well 'cause we were able to use personal stories as well as stories from our parents - in your case - and it came out great.

Edmonds, how did these themes of love, marriage and divorce translate to you on this new album? How did you feel going into this project and calling it Love, Marriage & Divorce?ī: Initially when we went into this album, I didn't know what themes we were going to do, I just knew we needed something that was honest and felt good.
Which helped me be a better artist because my songs were more personal. I found that talking about it and putting it out in front was therapeutic for me, and it made me become more creative in the writing and singing process, so it was therapy, in a sense, for me. All those things, s-t I was going through before I got married, when I got married and unfortunately divorce happened. Toni Braxton: For me it translates as a personal anthem.
