Appreciate Toni Braxton's self-titled debut

...AKA the best album Babyface has ever produced! cool





1. "Another Sad Love Song"

2. "Breathe Again"

3. "Seven Whole Days"

4. "Love Affair"

5. "Candlelight"

6. "Spending My Time with You"

7. "Love Shoulda Brought You Home"

8. "I Belong to You"

9. "How Many Ways"

10. "You Mean the World to Me"

11. "Best Friend"

12. "Breathe Again" (Reprise)

It's so timeless! music A couple of fillers, of course among the non-LA Reid/Babyface songs, but most of it is awesome, especially Breathe Again and the underrated Candelight!

I almost took offense when you said "a couple of fillers" but I can't recall how Candlelight goes, though I listened to this album more times than I could ever count. The rest of the songs are the level of R&B classic you just don't ever get these days, and so many on one album!

But Candlelight is not filler! biggrin Spending My Time With You & Best Friend are the fillers. razz It's a shame she neverdid anything as incredible again as this album...

yes,this is her best album nod music "Another Sad Love Song" and "Breathe Again" are two of the best songs that Babyface has ever written.I was pissed when Toni started working with other producers and coming up with lame,generic R&B tracks.The work she does with Babyface is always great.

^Yeah but by the time she moved on Babyface was no longer the IT producer (unfortunately Rodney Jerkins was), wasn't his last #1 hit Toni's You're Making Me High? He still contributed to her albums I believe but he was relegated to make album tracks for Michael, Whitney and Janet too. So it's understandable she moved on but as other 1990s acts she faded away too...

Breathe Again is one of her best tracks ever.

Among the wasteland that was 1990s' music, this is one project that was/is rock solid. The chorus harmonies and synth bed of Seven Whole Days remain some of the sexiest stuff I've heard in the past 25 years in R&B.
