The Europe dance music is unlistenable in my book.

I wasn't expecting this from Toni. Tamar maybe, but not Toni.

Very disappointing. I love Toni. I dont know why she chose that route... to talented for that.

aka military marching band music speed up. WTF.

It's alright. I was expecting much worse. Not great but better

than that Yesterday and Hands Tied bullshit.

as a album fille this would be ok but a 1st single not feeling it i hope she really reach out to the dance charts wit this. for some reason not enough bass its like one of those songs u hear in a fashion store. i hate when old school artist try to keep up wit the now bump that gal u a r&b diva bring me some of that

She is really trying to get back on the pop and dance charts.

I don't think this song is horrible. I don't "love" it, though.

I've heard worse. As a DJ, I would play this in the middle of something else. Hopefully, there is a deep house mix.

It's a shame what happened to Toni's career Her first two albums are classics but it's been downhill ever since.She's persistent,but I know she won't make a comeback with the whack music that she's doing now.Such a shame,because she is truly talented.

Photos of Toni filming new video for "I ♥ You".

Did her last two singles ever do anything? Seems like they went as fast as they came...

I think "Hands Tied" managed to chart in the top 40 on the Hip-Hop/R & B Singles Chart. Was "Make My Heart" ever released as a single?

I thought it was I could be wrong though. Toni is going to have to try to appeal to the same audience that's watching her family's reality show. Anything outside of that audience is probably going to fall on deaf ears. I don't know what that demographic is exactly but I would tap into that market.

I erred. "Make My Heart" was released as a single from Pulse. It had very limited success.

No problem. I wasn't sure myself considering that I never heard it on the radio and didn't see the video anywhere.

What do you think about my comments earlier concerning her marketing approach towards the same demographic that watches her show? Just curious... I mean, I know she's not mad old or anything but if that's the audience that's showing interest why not appeal to them with your music too? Odds are its the same audience that's been with her since day 1. Kind of a no-brainer to me....

She should mature with her fan base. I would buy an album of new soulful ballads and uptempo songs, only if there's no Euro-pop sheen. First, she needs a good manager to encourage her to perform a handful of live dates.

It sounds like a remix. It makes me want to hear the song before they added the Euro-pop sound. I think they were recording this on her show and it was a slow song. I would rather hear that.
