Sevyn Streeter - Pieces (Demo)

'Pieces' appears on Tamar Braxton's 'Love and War' Album
Here is the demo recorded by Sevyn Streeter

[@Trevonduhh]

Fun fact seven didn’t want to give this song up because it meant something to her. She said she cried like a baby writing it.

[@tracycompton3451]

No shade but❤ she did way better than Tamar love her but this song was just meant for sevyn but it's just a opinion

[@symphanewearrien682]

why did she give it away?

[@Aliasss]

@@thaiteanawest5035 The demo isn’t even supposed to be out 🙄 Especially if another artist already BOUGHT IT. It was released by Sevyn out of SPITE. Which is why she & Tamar aren’t cool anymore. You don’t do that to other artists.

[@jamiellaforbes3643]

sonicroll3000 right me too

[@mauricio2692]

Behind this song: iHeartRadio: Have you ever wished you kept a song you wrote for yourself that ended up going to another artist? Sevyn: "I have actually, yeah. It was a song that I wrote that was very personal for me. Before I wrote it, I was on the floor with a producer by the name of Bryan-Michael Cox, and I was talking to him, and the writer that I wrote it with named Ashley Rose, and I was really just upset and going through it with this guy. And we had like a three hour therapy session before we even started writing the song. So, we ended up writing the song, and it was called 'Pieces.' And some time went by and 'Pieces' actually ended up being cut and placed on Tamar Braxton. And, a part of me was like, I felt like a part of my heart was ripped out. And just like, they just took it and it was just over there because that song, God, it has like such sentimental value for me. And, thank God it was Tamar because she did the song, did more than justice. So, you know, it wasn't as hard to let go, but that was definitely a hard one for me."

[@amondae1583]

Mauricio it's about who would make the song blow up even though you you wrote it. i write songs all the time but you have to have an ear for music and hear other artist singing your song because they might sing it but you gone collect a check and if that song win guess who else won you to so don't think of it as you should of kept it. yes sevyn wrote it but she heard Tamar Braxton singing her song and i love it.😊

[@snegasi7469]

MrGreyjeep she don't just take it like she stole it, Sevyn gave it to her and Toni bought it.
