Toni Braxton released a few behind the scenes shots from the video shoot for her new single, “I Heart You” a few days ago and now the official video has been released.
On the “Braxton Family Values” reunion special, Toni revealed that she wouldn’t be participating in another season of the show, stating:
“It is extremely invasive. Everywhere you go in your life is ‘there,’ and for me, I don’t like that.”
She added that “over time you forget that the cameras are there, and then you become completely open and … you’re exposed.”
Known for her heartfelt ballads, Toni also gave a bit of love advice to the audience.
Toni’s new video for “I Heart You” + her relationship advice below…
VIDEO: Toni Braxton ~ I Heart You
“I Heart You” is the first single from Toni’s forthcoming new album “Gemstone” (available now on iTunes) and the music video is directed by Bille Woodruff.
During the reunion show, Wendy asked Toni if it’s better to marry for LOVE or MONEY and she responded:
“I think financial stability is a little bit more important because you can learn to love anyone.”
Are we really surprised at her answer… I mean, based on Toni’s experiences with both divorce and financial issues, it seems about right.

Pick One: Love or Money?

I’m so sick of Toni Braxton. She tries way too hard to be sexy. After 2 bankruptcies, how is she gonna talk to anyone about financial stability?
Not sure. Maybe when she does that tour or show with Babyface(since it seems alls forgiven) she can get him to drop a few conciliatory jawns on her.He definitely knows what’s complimentary to her voice.
dont like the techno beat… change that and try again
Toni does not have to try hard to be sexy, she is a natural, you haters
Toni is a natural beauty and i love her new single.I love Toni so much am blind by her flaws,so all positive thoughts from me to her.may God bless her in whatever projects she is working on.
It’s alright. If it was gonna have a house beat to it, it needs to be redone. But, I guess it’s a good song. What’s with all the damn gave touching? *shrugs shoulders*
I believe she is quitting since Tamar got a spin off, and she doesn’t want to chance a ratings slip as a result. Remember that hotlantaboss said it first!
I like it and all the other music that she has done! #teamToni

Tamar IS irritating as hell. Vince must have bought her that show. I can’t stand her voice and all that preteen "DOT.com" shyt. Her sisters try to jell her but Vince’s money has turned her into a superficial, obnoxious,narsisitic bytch.
I don’t waste my time on "reality" shows anymore, even RHOA is getting boring and predictable I tried watching my recorded episodes twice and fell asleep both times. Now I just try to catch up when I have insomnia. As for marry for money, hey you can learn to love someone cause love don’t feed the churin.
Toni can sing but she does try too hard to be sexy. Sexiness should be natural not forced. Toni needs to do an album with her sisters but she refuses to believe that she actually needs them…yup I said it. She was very successful without them but with this hit show they bring life to her.
I think Toni needs to be on the next season, she has not been popping for a while and te show made her relevent. I also thinks she tries to hard and acts as if she is too good or better than her sisters. I also thinks she’s envious of Tamar’s little 15 mins,because that’s all it really is. I think this is why Toni has had so many financial set backs because she does not appear to be humble and may not be focused on the right things, ie her children, and also making a Braxton BRAND which at this point I think would be more marketable than her singing career. Maybe getting new management will help but from the sounds of this song I don’t think so JMO
I HAD THE DISPLEASURE OF WORKING WITH TONI & HER SISTERS SEPARATELY. SISTERS WERE COOL BUT I WOULD NEVER WORK WITH TONI AGAIN. HER HUSBAND "KERI LEWIS BRAXTON" MADE THE RECORDING PROCESS HELL TRYING TO BULLY PRODUCERS & WRITERS OUT OF THEIR MONEY & LETTING HIM TAKE CREDIT FOR THEIR WORK WHICH ULTIMATELY LED TO TONI BEING DROPPED. THEIR EXCUSE FOR FORCING KERI IN WAS "WE HAVE OUR CHILDREN’S COLLEGE FUND TO PAY FOR". STOP BUYING VERSACE DISHES & TEACH UR "AUTISTIC" KID WHO TOLD HIS GRANDMA HE WANTED 2 "SLAP" HER & THAT SHE SHOULD ‘MARRY A RICH MAN’ SOME MANNERS. SHE PARADES AROUND TRYING 2 GET PRESS FOR HAVING A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD & SPENDS MORE TIME DYING HIS HAIR THEN TEACHING HIM RESPECT & APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR. SHE & KERI ARE SLIME BALLS & DESERVE EVERYTHING THEY GET!

Big up Toni, Smile at the HATERS because once you have life you have hope. Watch no face, do your thing girl. One other thing, Toni do not need to do no album with her sisters if she does not want to. Toni is a legend already, she has nothing to prove.
