Album review of 'Pulse' by Toni Braxton

[buttuh_b]

This shit dropped?? I'ma buy it.

 

[Super Lex]

I found out yesterday it dropped and I had too find out by accident......again. Same thing happened with Libra. I downloaded it but I'm about to cop. I love the song Woman and Hands Tied is growing on me now.

Yesterday is the only song that I've heard from this album & it's nice. I didn't even know that it was out. What the hell happened to promotion??

 

[Cake4real]

Where was her promotion? I didn't even know this album came out.

 

[Super Lex]

I'll add "If I Have to Wait", "Yesterday", "Why Won't You Love Me", and "No Way" to the list of songs I like. So I already like half the album. I'm confident in spending 8 bucks on this.

labels don't promote anymore, downloading has fucked up the industry so labels are taking short cuts

 

[Super Lex]

Damn. The songs she left off the album were hot. This is one reason I hate downloads/store exclusives. You can buy some of them off all the download sites that aren't on the disk. Here are a few.

i remember when i first heard "make my heart" i thought to myself, this is kind of a trendy dance number, but toni doesn't really dance so what is she going to do with this song? i think it has potential to be popular, it kinda of sounds like everything else that is out now and will fit in.

she was on the monique show on tuesday night, and i've been hearing make my heart when i walk into trendy shoe stores. i guess that was her promotion. man, times sure have changed, toni braxton dropping an album and no one doing anything about it. that will happen to rihanna one day too. not hatin' just tellin' it like it is.

Thanks for posting the songs Super Lex. Don't Leave is def. hot. The other 2, I don't care for them. Haven't heard the album yet, but the weakest track shoulda been replaced by Don't Leave.

As for Toni getting no promotion no more, I look at it like, at least she's doing interviews, she got some ads going on (like the banners on bet.com or vibe.com), she's doing the reality show, etc. It's all because she was once huge in the mainstream. Things must of been a lot worse without it. At this point, I just hope she keeps putting out some quality music that sells among the R&B crowd. It will not be the same as it used to be, but in this way, she'll continue to have a career and feed her family.

 

[Super Lex]

So she still had a top 10 album with about 51k sold considering her promo or lack there of. I guess that's the best you can hope for under these circumstances of today.

So she played it safe... That's probably a good thing I think.
