Nice to have you back Ms Braxton…………the industry has missed you greatly (At least I have).and she is STILL fly! I love it! Just wondering, did she age at ALL?? Her body is still banging
Its a pretty cool song, I like it though. To me, it would have been kinda better if Jordin Sparks would have sang it. I just got that feeling like it was made for her. But Toni on the other hand, did a pretty good job also.!
This song also reminds me of Broken Hearted Girl. It probably was written/produced by the same people. Especially the part leading into the chorus sounds like the line: “I know that I love you/ So please let me say/ I don’t wanna love you in no kinda way/ ….”
I love Toni B – but this does not sound like her style of music – she’s better than this. This sounds like the newbies – Leona, Rhihanna and Jordan Sparks type of sound. I guess I expect more classic deeper stuff from her. The voice is still on point – and I guess you have to sound like what’s “in” and what the crowd is doing to stay current and keep your career moving. Nice to have you back TB.
is it just me, but i cannot understand anything she is saying. this sounds just like beyonce’s song broken hearted girl with a lil halo in it. i expect more from a vet such as toni.
not understanding why everyone is comparing the song to something leona or beyonce would sing… it’s just a slow tempo song w a great melody. and? anywho, i love it AND ms braxton. glad she’s coming back.
lovin the track toni! Thank GOD her and whitney is breakin the mold of these diva’s from the past trying to sound young and sexy with auto-tune and songs that dont even fit their format! Mariah, Mary J, etc. This song can appeal to either crowd rather young or old because the lyrics are deep as hell. i always rode for her no matter what the charts or media said…she still a bad chick to ME!! and her album Libra was good to me regardless of what it sold..love ya Toni!!
Its Alright definitely not a lead single though.. not gonna get the attention it needs from Urban Radio and since mainstream only piggybacks off of Urban Radio its not gonna get the look it needs to take it through the roof… maybe if Hype Williams does the video and It hits top ten 106 and hits MTVu
It is quite different from her previous material, but I like it. She sounds really good and I am glad that she is taking the risk to do something other than her typical ballads.
All of the Beyonce comparisons have got to cease and desist!! I’m a Beyonce fan and I support her music whenever possible, however, a lot of you on this site are just hating on Toni. Vocally, she will murder Beyonce or any other comtemporary female artist out. There would be no Beyonce if there was no Toni!!!!!!!
I luv the record think that’s a record that will take her global which most artist want this day and Age. Global success and everybody that knows radio knows. Urban radio is not what gets u total sucsess at all. Oh yea it was

Ain’t nobody hating/comapring toni braxton to beyonce or vice versa, people are comparing the songs themselves. and if you were a beyonce fan like you said you are then you would clearly hear how this song sounds like “broken hearted girl”. as i soon as i played this that’s the first thought that popped into my head.
anyway, the song is ok, i don’t think it’s single material just like i don’t think “broken hearted girl” is single material either but you never know. like someone else mentioned earlier the video could be tight or she could give a great performance and it could send this song out of the stratosphere.
in any case, i’m just happy that toni is back, she is one of the original divas and all of her albums have been great except for that “more than a woman” album— urgghhh!!! but she more than made up for it with “libra”!!
I love it she trying something new and it fits. Her voice sounds amazing and the production is complex yet simple. I dunno if Urban is gonna dig this but Pop might give her a chance. It has the pop ballad tone to it which I can appreciate personally. I hope pop radio don’t be hatin and give her the spins she deserves. I wish her well can’t wait for the album.
I love Toni Braxton but saying that Toni will Murder Beyonce is just plain and simply put..STUPID.. Beyonce has reached levels that Toni is still tryna reach and the record sounds like a mix between “Broken Hearted Girl” and “Halo” and for the Info of #22 i work in radio and she isnt Beyonce and Urban is not going to give it the Attention it needs and who cares about who wrote or produced the record and who they wrote and Produced for.. I want to party and have fun..In an economy like this who wants to feel sad.. Music evokes a feeling and the feeling of that song is slow and gloomy fukk that… Were playin “Your a Jerk” in Chicago..
this is some of that lame pop crap hello she is an rnb singer when can we get some soul from these artists these lyrics remind me of hillary duff’s 2003 hit So Yesterday she’s wack
Very current, but still signature Toni Braxton. There’s no other female artist who sounds like Toni Braxton these days. She’s one in a million. This song is amazing and I hope its very successful.
Toni Braxton does murder Beyonce vocally, Toni Braxton makes better music and thats FACT! I like Beyonce, but she could never come for Toni Braxton…NEVER!
I usually don’t get the comparisons people make, but this it’s too in your face to ignore. This sounds too much like Beyonce’s Broken Hearted Girl. It’s like you could slip Beyonce’s vocals over the song and it would fit.
i really love toni braxton but the first thing that strikes me is beyonce’s halo – i am not a fan of beyonce, i was just saying b4 people start callin me a stan.
Nice but sounds like the rest of the other women singers. Too popish not going to buy it cause it lacks some Rand B. Toni always brings it on. Yes she is a strong vocalist. Beautiful voice…This will be a hit. Needs a mixed black white video….
To the person who said that Toni is still trying to reach levels that Beyonce has that is just plain ridiculous. Toni is not thinking about Beyonce, artistically they are two different artist and we shouldn’t expect booty popping, get down in the club music from Toni Braxton.That has never been her forte and I will take music with emotion and heart any day over club hopping music .Beyonce and Toni are both successful people and millionaires, why do we have to tear another artist down just to make Beyonce look good. I love the song and Toni. Her voice is amazing and at the end of the day record sales don’t matter, her talent does and she has proven time and time again why she has reached the levels of success she has and why she still have so many peopple rooting for her.
Some of these comments are a absolute mess ! Toni is bringin fire with this song !! I love love love it !!! To say that Toni is trying to get where Beyonce is ! You better watch your mouth cause !!! Toni has already been where beyonce is ! Not taking anything from Ms Knowles !! Toni is a Diva ~!! and beyonce is just the tadpole !! Get right and get it tight !! So them Haters Ms Braxton !!
I don’t get why everybody’s comparing Toni with Beyonce. I’m not a fan of Beyonce personally, but I can acknolwedge that she has talent. I just prefer Toni’s voice for many reasons.
Toni Braxton in this song is SPOT ON… she sounds bloody amazing and I think this song will hit the charts — maybe not #1 but certainly enough to re-introduce Toni to the people. She’s been gone for too long but has a happy life – married with kids and doing what she loves.
I really like this song as a first single. It’s awesome.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE REAL SINGERS ARE COMMING BACK!!!!!! FIRST OF ALL THEIR IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN TONI & LEONA… LEONA CAN SING BUT NOT LIKE TONI… TONI HAS A …….. CAN’T EVEN DESCRIBE IT TO HER VOICE… AND I SAW HER LIVE NOT TO LONG AGO IN DC AT CONSTITUTION HALL..(SMALL VENUE) SAT IN THE SECOND ROW AND SHE HAS PIPES… AND THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF HER LIVE VOCAL PERFORMANCE… SHE WILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER THIS SONG LIVE … THE VIDEO WILL BE KEY.. BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW STUNNING TONI IS… NOW THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE BEYONCE…. SEXY WITH CLASS.. TAKE A NOTE
No pun intended, but isn’t HALO the song BEYONCE STOLE from Kelly Clarkston? AND she stole if I were A BOY from a girl off of the internet. She has had more lawsuits from stealing songs than an artist in record industry HISTORY. How do we know how long ago Toni recorded this song. How do we know that BEYONCE didn’t STEAL YESTERDAY from Toni Braxton for Broken Hearted Girl…..hmmmmm
LOVE the song Ms. Toni DEFINATELY is ready for that comeback and i PRAY it is in favor of her. She killed Heart Never Had a Hero and NOW she got me wanting more with this song yo i love this chick…always gives crossover appeal but yet keeps it soulful all in all, gotta love Ms. Braxton!
And at #26 Toni DEFINATELY murders Beyonce musically and professionally, Toni created sexy while Beyonce stole it like everything else she stole. Toni’s albums have reached over 8 million worldwide in sells in her hay-days…Beyonce is STILL tryna get there…Toni IS dat B*tch!
step back Toni B back! This track is burning up. I don’t care if it sounds like a Beyonce song-hey it; has the same producers/writers. So what?? It’s hot and nobody can sing it like Toni she from back in the day but she better than those in this day. v
a HIT suck it up haters!!!
Toni great song, as well as all the songs that were leaked. I have so thrilled that you have return. This is going to be one of the best comebacks ever. Toni Braxton is the best!!!!
DID TONI B. KILL THIS OR WHAT!!!!?????!!!!!
I so was not expecting this epic of a song from her. I sware. Not saying that she can’t but the leaks from the project have been lackluster with a few excpetions but it looks like Ms.Braxton is coming correct. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
lemme just say yall are idiots this sounds NOTHING like halo… maybe the track sounds a little like broken hearted girl but it sounds NOTHING like halo… and either way why is it that ppl are soooo quick to compare other artists to beyonce? come on ya’ll cut it out let her live she is clearly coming thru and bringing good music… i can’t wait for the album to come out… My favs from the leaked are heart never had a hero and most definitely PULSE… i just hope that she re-records her vocals and comes stronger on those songs cuz it sounded like preproduction but they were great songs… and this sounds great she sounds good and look great! i like this single i hope she does well… very relatable… idk what u ppl are expecting from her but she sounds great
Nice to have you back Ms Braxton…………the industry has missed you greatly (At least I have).and she is STILL fly! I love it! Just wondering, did she age at ALL?? Her body is still banging
Sounds like something Leona Lewis would sing. Nice!
Its a pretty cool song, I like it though. To me, it would have been kinda better if Jordin Sparks would have sang it. I just got that feeling like it was made for her. But Toni on the other hand, did a pretty good job also.!
not sure, sounds a bit weak but it may have to grow on me- doesn’t hit me as a lead single
@ 2.. i agree, reminds me off “better in time” by Leona
the song is nice, and she sounds good. I doubt it’ll go anywhere though.
good luck toni
This song also reminds me of Broken Hearted Girl. It probably was written/produced by the same people. Especially the part leading into the chorus sounds like the line: “I know that I love you/ So please let me say/ I don’t wanna love you in no kinda way/ ….”
hmm…..sound like leona or beyonce’s halo…toni sounds good but not original.
I love Toni B – but this does not sound like her style of music – she’s better than this. This sounds like the newbies – Leona, Rhihanna and Jordan Sparks type of sound. I guess I expect more classic deeper stuff from her. The voice is still on point – and I guess you have to sound like what’s “in” and what the crowd is doing to stay current and keep your career moving. Nice to have you back TB.
Love that it’s hot .
ii agree with #6 this sounds like beyonce’s broken-hearted girl.
I agree it sounds very familiar, however the vocals are amazing. So she gets my vote.
is it just me, but i cannot understand anything she is saying. this sounds just like beyonce’s song broken hearted girl with a lil halo in it. i expect more from a vet such as toni.
not understanding why everyone is comparing the song to something leona or beyonce would sing… it’s just a slow tempo song w a great melody. and? anywho, i love it AND ms braxton. glad she’s coming back.
COME ON TONI THIS IS STRAIGHT UP FIRE.
lovin the track toni! Thank GOD her and whitney is breakin the mold of these diva’s from the past trying to sound young and sexy with auto-tune and songs that dont even fit their format! Mariah, Mary J, etc. This song can appeal to either crowd rather young or old because the lyrics are deep as hell. i always rode for her no matter what the charts or media said…she still a bad chick to ME!! and her album Libra was good to me regardless of what it sold..love ya Toni!!
It’s pretty good, but I thought for sure that “Melt” would have been her first single. I love that song like nothing else.
its just ok. love toni esp the old one but its sounds too dated and exactly like halo.
Its Alright definitely not a lead single though.. not gonna get the attention it needs from Urban Radio and since mainstream only piggybacks off of Urban Radio its not gonna get the look it needs to take it through the roof… maybe if Hype Williams does the video and It hits top ten 106 and hits MTVu

I love the song! Glad the REAL singers are coming back in full swing!
This does not sound like no Beyonce song. Beyonce stans go away.
I love Toni Braxton but saying that Toni will Murder Beyonce is just plain and simply put..STUPID..

amazing song. her voice is still there. love this woman. i cant wait to see her perform it live.
Very current, but still signature Toni Braxton. There’s no other female artist who sounds like Toni Braxton these days. She’s one in a million. This song is amazing and I hope its very successful.
Toni Braxton does murder Beyonce vocally, Toni Braxton makes better music and thats FACT! I like Beyonce, but she could never come for Toni Braxton…NEVER!
I hope thats a old picture of Toni because its time for her to put some clothes on, seriously!
The song sounds like something Brandy or Jordin Sparks would sing, not a great fit for her vocals ability.
As usual, the webmaster correctly published!.
I usually don’t get the comparisons people make, but this it’s too in your face to ignore. This sounds too much like Beyonce’s Broken Hearted Girl. It’s like you could slip Beyonce’s vocals over the song and it would fit.
I like both songs.
i really love toni braxton but the first thing that strikes me is beyonce’s halo – i am not a fan of beyonce, i was just saying b4 people start callin me a stan.
I love this song. Then again, I love any Toni Braxton song.
The beat in the song sounds very familiar???? hmmm.
Nice but sounds like the rest of the other women singers. Too popish not going to buy it cause it lacks some Rand B. Toni always brings it on. Yes she is a strong vocalist. Beautiful voice…This will be a hit. Needs a mixed black white video….
TONI TONI TONI
