Album Review
Toni Childs spits out lyrics on up-tempo tunes like rounds blasting from an AK-47. Unfortunately, she doesn't do many ups. She's easier on ballads and mid-tempo songs, but still register red-zone readings. The singer/songwriter has been labeled everything from alternative rock to pop/rock — everything but the soul singer she is. Aretha Franklin singing an album of folksy tunes doesn't make her a folk singer. Childs' recordings reflect the material she writes, which is not necessarily the direction that's best for her; with the right producer, she could be Tina Turner. This collection features not only her compositions (the ferocious "Don't Walk Away," the heady "I Just Want Affection," and the Janis Ian-ish "I Met a Man"), but a couple she didn't scribe, such as Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross."

Toni Childs Stands Alone in Her Artisty
by yankeescottieThe one thing that I can says.....We Need More Music from Toni Childs. It is a rarity for an artist to release one album after the other that is a gift to listen to. Every track on every album is a mini story holding you in a trance waiting for the next line...Unbelieveable voice. Unbelieveable voice. Unbelieveable voice. It had to be said three times. She can not nor should she be compared to anyone. Others should be compared to her.
Where is Dreamer?
by JaspassOkay, so I did all the research, found the song, and iTunes denies me. Come on!! PLease add "Dreamer". It is so hauntingly beautiful... what's the deal? Listen to it! Yahoo music has the 30 sec. clip... you'll see what you're missing.
Excellent, a must buy!
by Brandon27While her career never really took off with American audiences, Toni was much loved in both New Zealand and Australia.
Her debut "Union" went five times platinum in NZ and in 1996 her Greatest Hits was one of the biggest selling albums of the year in Australia.
It's a shame she never found much success in her homeland but the good news is that a lot of Australasians gave her a chance and in return Toni toured and was met with great response.
Even women at the airport who screened her said "I've Got To Go Now" was the song that inspired them to leave their abusive relationships!
