Toni Braxton Can Turn Tricks With "Hands Tied"

Just twenty-four hours after the video premiere of "Make My Heart," the R&B veteran Toni Braxton is really on a roll, and she has just premiered another brand new video on PEOPLE.com for her second single "Hands Tied," the sultry ballad and one of the new dual singles off her forthcoming 5th studio project, "Pulse" is hitting stores in America May 4 via Atlantic Records. Stunning! Besides the fact, Ms. Braxton, at 42, knocked it out of the park with this one. The R&B seductress delivers a sexy striptease in the video for "Hands Tied," and the song is one of her best offerings in a while too.
Braxton is one sexy mama! In her new video for the single "Hands Tied," the 42-year-old mom of two shows off her svelte assets, and proves age ain't nothing but a number in the Bille and she's still got the moves to compete with some of the hottest chicks in the game. The Billie Woodruff-directed video centers around a sexy striptease where Braxton teases a bar full of men who are mesmerized by her moves. Braxton says things were totally hands off but that folks on the set still got a little accidental peep show. "My let boobie kept falling out," says the singer. "It wanted to make a cameo!"
Accidental nudity aside, Braxton says rocking super high heels in the video had the 5-feet-2-inch tall singer feeling like a super model. "I felt as tall as Cindy Crawford," she says, but not without a price. "The shoes hurt really badly," she says. "It guess that means my stylist got me some pretty fabulous shoes [because] the better they are it seems the more they hurt." When it came to choosing one of her leading men for "Hands Tied," Braxton called upon her actor pal Michael Jai White of Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married Too," who's "been a friend of mine for years," she says.
Granted there isn't anything groundbreaking here, Toni did a great job. Braxton's both new songs "Hands Tied" and "Make My Heart" are very solid radio-friendly R&B numbers, and it could be her first top ten R&B hit in ages. I'm also really hoping "Pulse" proves to be a successful project for her as her talent far outweighs that of anyone topping the charts presently. When you listen to a Braxton record that's exactly what you want to hear.
