Those previews sound nothing like I assumed. She's still on that Beyonce lite. A track or two is cool, but "My Man" seen like the highlight for you

Yeah, I'm pretty shocked by the clips. The production sounds like a REAL problem, "Blind" sounds like it might have been pretty amazing if the instrumental wasn't so bad. "My Man" makes total sense as the first single now. I think "My Forever" sounds like the only other single on the album.

I def don't agree with y'all. This does sound like her best album to date.

She is always looking for attention. Just because Toni releases a new single she has to find a way to bring attention back to her. PATHETIC! I would hate to be her sister. The fact NONE of her sisters posted a word about her album yet they quickly posted about Toniās single speaks volumes. Damn. That's cold.

This sounds like her and TC produced the whole album in her closet. Even the record Rodney produced doesnāt sound āproducedā. Tragic.
If she hadnāt fallen out with LaShawn (:eye roll:), she couldāve at least made an album on par with her last two.

I think "My Forever" sounds like the only other single on the album. I pray it's the next single. "Pick Me Up" is cute, too, with the "Love Come Down" sample.

"Pick Me Up" is a jam. Everything else does not sound good...at all. That's definitely the only highlight, and even that one could've been fleshed out to... I don't know... completion? It could be amazing, but as it is, sounds like an inferior take on "The One". The problem with this record is that it sounds so cheap and unfinished. Like a mixtape or TLC's album that was put out this year. And she called it her best? LMAO. I mean, of course she would, given her ego and, to be fair, like every artist does with their latest record, but still LMAO. The album severely lacks in melodies and hooks, as well. She's singing out on every song, belting and jerking her voice all over the place, but even that can't save the whole thing.

I def don't agree with y'all. This does sound like her best album to date. I agree. Based on the clips it sounds better than her other albums to me. "Wanna love you boy" sounds really hot. Love the Robin thicke sample. "Run run" sounds cute too, but I hate they both appear under 3 mins. "Hol up" sounds like a bop. "My forever" sounds like a safe urban ac single. I can't put my finger on what song it sounds like. Is there a sample there too? Based on the clips I would release "wanna love you boy" as the mainstream urban single. That one knocks and it doesn't feel like she is trying as hard as she usually does on her uptempos.

Isn't "Blind" already slated to be the next single?

Snippets sound good to me but Calling All Lovers remains her best album to me, based on the snips. However, I consider Love and War and All the Way Home her best songs.

Agreed. Calling All Lovers had so many good songs, it's probably her best as a whole. But ATWH and L&W (and "The One") are fantastic and individually so strong.
"Deadwood" >>>> this whole new album. And I don't even need to listen to it in full to tell. TBH.

Deadwood is definitely quality but I LOVE 'My Man', one of my favorite songs released this year, I won't judge the album fully yet, I love a good ballad.

I don't find anything too terrible about those clips, and I hear some potential ballad slayage at the end. So, I'll wait on this.

I root so hard for her but this looks like badly lit Cinemax porn or one of those BET uncut videos that came on in fhe middle of the night. Hopefully it's better in full... http://instagram.com/p/BZSU8v3HZmI

All the hype she had for Blind and it really did nothing for me.
