Please listen to this quite good Toni Braxton ditty

  • January 6, 2009
  • Popjustice

We had Toni Braxton's 'Get Loose' as our Song Of The Day yesterday and because we know the idea of a new Toni Braxton single is not exactly everybody's idea of an exciting start to 2009, we're writing about it here again today to make sure you give it a listen.

Points of note:

» It's a Darkchild production.

»  It sounds like an R&B 'With Every Heartbeat' (sort of) (not at all).

»  T‑Br has recently been in 'Dancing With The Stars' in America, which means that the "dancing shoes" ref­er­ences in 'Get Loose' are a bit like the rug-cutting imagery in Alesha Dixon's 'The Boy Does Nothing'. It is all very clever. ('Clever' = 'stag­ger­ingly obvious and bordering on pat­ron­ising but you've got to do what you've got to do in this climate etc'.)

»  The "get your back up off the wall" business is v good indeed.

»  The rest of the album will probably be shit but one decent song per album is sort of par for the course with The Braxto, isn't it.

»  'And them's the brax'.

»  Oh dear.
