December 13, 2022 BY Jason Currell
Today, Emmy Award-Winning, Julliard-trained jazz-R&B artist Braxton Cook is proud to announce his highly anticipated fifth full-length album Who Are You When No One Is Watching? due out February 24th, 2023 via Nettwerk.
In the time since his acclaimed 2020 release, Fire Sign, Braxton has been busy writing and releasing new material, touring around the U.S., and expanding his sonic palette working on collaborations with producer Jahaan Sweet (production credit on Taylor Swift’s “Lavender Haze” and Giveon’s “Tryina Be”) and contemporaries like Kiefer and Masego. Who Are You When No One Is Watching? marks his second release with Nettwerk after sharing the striking new EP Black Mona Lisa in September. Cook’s boundary-pushing odyssey will include standouts singles like “MB (for Ma’Khia Bryant)” and “90s” featuring Masego, which have received positive acclaim from Billboard, NPR Music, PAPER, OkayPlayer, Jazziz Magazine, and more.
