So I haven’t done a ”reboot” in a while… For those of you that might not know what a “reboot” is, it’s a segment I started on my blog where I revisit some older tracks that were either were never released as a single and should have been, released but highly under-rated or just really old and kinda forgotten and need to be give them a “reboot” of sorts for us to discuss.
In this case, I want to bring back a song that was grossly under-rated and should have gotten more love and attention than it did at the time of its release! Why oh why was “Yesterday” not a huge hit for Toni Braxton?!! The song isn’t really very old, it was actually the lead single off of Toni’s Pulse album and though the mid-tempo pop ballad is just as good if not better than some of Rihanna’s or Beyonce’s chart toppers over the last few years… Yet it barely made an impact on the radio/charts here in the US. It only peaked at #16 on Billboard’sBubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, meaning it basically only reached #116 on a chart that only represents the top 100.
Such a crime that this song didn’t get to shine in all of its glory as a top 10 hit because it deserved to! So today here on Sound Off, we are resurrecting Toni’s beautiful ballad and giving it the love that it deserves! Take to the comments and let me (and Toni) know if you think this song rocks as much as I do!
I never would never have expected Toni Braxton’s beautiful ballad “Yesterday” being remixed into an hard electro club-banger, but apparently remix producer, Chuckie, decided that was the exact kind of rework that the song needed. Hmm… The jury’s still out on how I feel about this remix. In the mean time, take a listen and tell me what you think…

Check out Toni Braxton & Trey Songz’ live performance of Toni’s hot new single “Yesterday” on the Soul Train Awards. First off… Toni looks and sounds amazing! Second… Who new she could play her own songs on the piano? Trust me, playing and singing at the same time is not an easy task… Even for some of the most talented vocalists.
Here is the first official remix of Toni Braxton’s gorgeous new single “Yesterday” that I’ve come across. This one is brought to you by Nu Addiction and is a pretty decent mix. I love the synth and the music production… I don’t know if I would have chose to speed up Toni’s vocals so fast but this is one of those songs that is hard to remix into a house mix because of it’s original BPM. (It’s in that BPM-dead zone where you either have to speed up the vocals way too fast or slow them down to the point where they sound like they’re “dragging”.) Hopefully we’ll get a few more remixes for this one…

Here’s another new track off of Toni Braxton’s forth-coming new album, Pulse. The song is called “Rewind That” and is best described as a synth-heavy, mid-tempo R&B track. Pretty good song but maybe not as good as the 3 other new Toni tracks that previously posted. (I’m still obsessed with her new single “Yesterday“.) Still, I’m getting really excited to buying Toni’s next album after all of the tracks that I’ve heard so far. Check out “Rewind That“…

Wow… I think Toni Braxton’s upcoming album is going to be a masterpiece! Another new song off of Toni’s still unfinished album has leaked and I am excited as ever for this new project! The song is called “Woman” and is nothing short of A M A Z I N G!!!! The leaked version is heavily “tagged” so you have to ignore all the annoying shout outs to listen to this brilliant ballad!

Damn, Toni Braxton is back in a MAJOR way… Her new single “Yesterday” is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me a lot of a Ryan Tedder production but I don’t think it is. Definitely think this is one of the finest tracks that Toni’s released in a long time. I don’t know if it’ll be enough to get her back on top of the charts but if you’re even remotely a fan, it’s a must listen!!
