Yeah, never understood why they pushed "Spanish Guitar", like at all. Speaking of flops, was I the only one who legitimately loved "Hit The Freeway". And on a third, unrelated note Libra is still that b**ch. Now I understand why I like you

"Hit The Freeway" is what made me a Toni fan!! I remember catching the making of the video on MTV and watching it enter the Hot 100, only to stall at #86.
I chatted with "her" (probs a rep on her team at the time) on the Bandlink app where you could (theoretically) chat with your favorite artists I had a profile. Regardless of whether or not it was her, the person was very sweet and easy to talk to. We chatted about what other music we liked and such and I raved about "Hit The Freeway"
Also, "Stay" is my favorite track from the Pulse era!! I'm so glad more people are catching on to it.

That story was around over 15 years ago. Despite Jay and Bey having a hit with their song, I highly doubt Toni would have had a hit with hers. The sample alone isn’t the reason Jay and Bey had a hit with theirs. There were no hits on Toni’s album, and like that post says she was never going to hit with the hip-hop oriented material. She spent the majority of the 00’s awkwardly trying to keep up with hip-hop trends, and then when she finally went back to her roots in smooth adult R&B in the 10’s, she won her audience back and gained respect back with the older R&B crowd.

And uptempo bops doesn’t mean trend chasing either. Although I do hope she ditches pop/ac tracks she’s been serving. Her last album was damn near a pop album.

I need her and Babyface to create some magic again. “Hurt You” is a nice mid tempo.

We can provide her with the best feedback. hopefully the A&R team at def jam has done a better job this time around cuz the last album, "Deadwood" and "Long As I Live" aside, SUUUUUUUUUUCKED! I think Toni should call up Mary's people to cook her up some ACTUALLY good, hot music cuz chile..... idk I smell another rushed, wack project coming our way, specially if she wants to release a single already

She needed some good production on Sex. Overall, it could have been a good output if it didn’t sound like she was performing at an open mic or lounge with the lazy production on most songs.

Oh look...the usual suspects are prancing in. Its ironic how even wothout "good production" the album was nominated for a grammy unlike other albums with "good production" that didn't get jack squat. :sip2:
