Toni Braxton attempts to spin and twirl her way through heartbreak on “Dance,” a shimmery slice of nu-disco co-written and produced by the R&B ace Antonio Dixon. The track will appear on the upcoming album Spell My Name, Braxton’s first new full-length since 2018’s Sex & Cigarettes.
Braxton sets the scene quickly in the first two lines of “Dance:” “I found out just the other day/That you were giving it away.” She considers her options, quickly rejects reconciliation (“I ain’t tryin’ to make you stay”), and heads to the dance floor a few short lines later. The production stays crunchy, with a popping bass, darting strings, and shrill horns joining a thwacking drum.
“Dance” follows “Do It,” a sweeping ballad the star released in April that was subsequently remixed by Missy Elliott. “Do It” climbed to Number Three on the latest R&B radio chart, according to Mediabase, earning 2,251 plays and reaching more than 11 million listeners.
