There’s a new track about to hit R&B radio. It’s called Make My Heart mp3, and it’s by a woman named Toni Braxton.
Who?
Remember 90s R&B diva Toni Braxton? The chart-topping singer responsible for He Wasn’t Man Enough, Breathe Again, and Unbreak My Heart, among many, many other definitive 90s R&B and pop anthems, may have hit a bit of a road bump with her last two CDs (Libra, on Blackground, and More Than A Woman, on Arista), but her new CD on Atlantic Records, Pulse, which drops sometime in May 2010, may get her back into good graces.
The first single, Make My Heart, is a fast-paced R&B club torcher – you just know the gays are gonna jump all over this one – with great synth horns and a catchy chorus. Not quite sure whether Toni Braxton’s Make My Heart will be enough to jump-start her otherwise stalled radio career, but it certainly is a well-produced track that will probably enter my personal chart sooner or later. Make My Heart is actually one of two singles – the other is titled Hands Tied, and it’s geared towards the Adult R&B crowd – off Pulse. Toni seems to have taken a page off the storybook of Beyonce and released two singles at once. Not a big fan of that strategy, but whatever works for the goose – that’s Bee – might work for the gander – that’s Toni – even in the areas of chart mastery.
Meanwhile, give Toni Braxton’s Make My Heart mp3 a listen and tell me what you think. Does Miz Braxton have what it takes to get back on radio?

nice. may financial woes pa rin ba s’ya? sabagay all the more that she needs a gig. hers is a voice na recognizable right away when you hear it… like fantasia’s or macy gray’s, alam mong s’ya agad ‘yun. kaya lang parang comeback tune ni whitney (dollar bill or something), medyo confused ang approach. ‘di mo alam kung backtrack or modern. kulang ng oomph.
Actually, I agree with you. The track is missing a little something. And the breathiness that I like about Toni seems to be missing here.
Now that you mention it, I’m really excited for Fantasia’s new CD. Have you heard about it? It’s supposed to be really good.
